After take-off in Munich, there was a strong odour in the cockpit and cabin. All four flight attendants complained of symptoms such as a scratchy throat, nausea, dizziness, headaches, tingling in the arms and trembling hands. One flight attendant vomited and was unable to continue the service on board. The odour was no longer noticeable during the flight. On the approach to Berlin-Tegel, the odour became very strong again. The entire crew went for a medical examination after landing. The subsequent technical examination of the engines was without findings.
