Much bigger than you excited if you've been travelling in/out of Berlin for the past few years. Make sure you arrive with plenty of time. Also, Coffee is outrageously expensive.Upvoted 1 week ago
So new, and yet sooooo old. What a clusterfuck this construction project has been, and it delivered a 2000s-style airport in 2020. You feel like you’re walking through a brand new museum, in a way.Upvoted 8 hours ago
Paolo MargariAugust 29, 2021Very badly organised. The airport took 29 years to be ready and not only looks old, cold, empty, but it's features are very superficial and offer a terrible user experience.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
- Although this has been in the making for decades...I miss Tegel. The vast distances to the city and inside the airport ads an hour to the commute. Lounge experience is a lot better. 😏
FlakiOctober 16, 2022The BER Runway (basically ~CLEAR) works pretty well, literally 30s to book a timeslot on the website and then <5m passing through, me likey!
Very weird option to register for security check online (security area 4), but actually pretty helpful. Only 10 mins slot. Check online the queue length, really valid data.
MuratJune 9, 202230min away (normal traffic) and costs 55Eu by taxi (you may get charged more). Passenger friendly airport. Check in and security are tight, expect lines and delays. Duty free and food court are small.
Pro Tip: don't waste money for water and refill your bottles on the way to the gates for free and pre book your security time slot to avoid stress.
Flying Lufthansa? If you can miraculously upload all your documents and complete online check-in (first, quick fist pump) then the self-bag drop only takes 1 minute and is fully automated!- Jack SmithDecember 15, 2023Such an improvement compared to the old Tegal Airport of Berlin. Modern environment, a lot better passenger flow and with very good rail links. No more lugging suitcases onto buses at Tegal.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Peter ThompsonMarch 14, 2023Must be in the top 3 for the worst service, longest queue’s (for everything) and very inefficient.Upvoted Mar 10
KillerkotekAugust 18, 2021One of the worst airports in Europe. A shame as I had high hopes for it. Where did all the money go?The delay certainly not justified. Badly organised and very empty. Shops and restaurants overpriced.
Ju LeJune 20, 2023Airport shuttle went awesome. Check in and checks went quick. Staff was friendly. Good experience!
When there’s a long line to buy a train ticket, walk down to the platform where you can find more ticketing machines.
Albert FreemanAugust 17, 2022Complaints about this airport=being spoiled for years with Tegel & conveniently forgetting the labyrinthine, perpetually overcrowded Schönefeld nightmare. Some are better; they’re mostly far worse.- Dimitris SoutzoukisJune 2, 2022Beautiful fresh airport but endless queues for security screening! Shouldn’t be that way for this new Berlin Airport 😉
Michael B.October 7, 2022S-bahn train S9 for only €8 from Berlin city approx. 30 minutes. A big airport so be on time as there always are lots of people checking in.
Valentina TorreMarch 10, 2022Several break points along the gate area. On the first floor there is a food area with 4/5 different types of cuisine, try Asian cuisine!
It’s odd. Too small for a city like Berlin. I like the design style. But the execution is so full of mistakes that this really feels like the most awkward airport in Europe. Still. A nice upgrade.
I ❤️ BER: 16 minutes from Ostkreuz to Terminal 1/2, self check-in and baggage drop for most airlines, transparent security check waiting times.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
SiNaSeptember 9, 2022It's a new airport but it is not like a new one, it misses a lot of things like information and good signs helping travelers to find their way.
Simon EldinJuly 18, 2023Lovely large Airport plenty shops there nice calm chilled place to wait for ur flight home or arrive from another part of the world 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Crazy Situation all the time on security check. Be careful, you could miss your plane with 🐌🐌🐌
Airport is huge, consider 1h 30 minutes (if you are alone, with only cabin luggage) before gate closure, walking to T2 is considerable distance
3.50-3.70 for a 0.3 bottle of water, seriously?
Rany WardaSeptember 15, 2022Arrive early. Arrive earlier than what you think is early. This is still a fairly new airport and they are still working out the kinks.
Bogdan ZadorozhnySeptember 16, 2023Priority security was actually very pleasant. Although it wasn’t open when I got there (4am), they found me and opened it up within 5 minutes. Fast and friendly.- Mark HartogsveldApril 9, 2023What’s good here: actually not that much! Surprisingly bad for a relatively new airport. Lay-out, facilities and service of staff are poor, while prices are high. Disappointing:Berlin deserves better!Upvoted Mar 10
Quick trip to Northern Italy for some business, and some insane food. (Near top of pros list for living in Europe)
It took almost an hour to get through the security. Very chaotic, and people got stressed.
Ankur BanerjeeSeptember 22, 2022Pass through security faster by signing up for free via the “BER Runway” service: allows you to pick a time slot for security control +/-10 minutes, and has a separate lane that moves faster.
Remarkably slow & inefficient security control. Be ahead of time.
It is cheaper to buy cold soft drinks from the vending machines directly at the gates.
QJanuary 6, 2023Check in first (don't send your luggage yet), and then get your tax receipts stamped at the number 7 customs counter. Your luggage will be sent from their desk.
Functional airport: not too good, not too bad. It was built recently but doesn’t reflect on modern times in terms of functionality. Difficult to find chargers, I rather use my power bank.- To those who complain that security checks are slow. It’s not personnel, it’s travelers, so avoid tourists (if you can), queue behind frequent travelers. Lane 5 often shown as fastest, it’s the same
Coming to the airport with public transp or car, it doesn’t matter: start 4 hours prior toflight time. Time frame given by Google maps is not reliable as the trais are canceled and traffic is awful.
Generally hostile, particularly for families. Come armed with patience to the security control
Alex CurielDecember 18, 2023Brand new airport serving Berlin. Took over from all three previous airports serving the city.
slow, unorganized, expensive, only options to eat are those you usually find at U-Bahn stations..
fred rodriguesAugust 25, 2021It’s modern but…Bad signage, terrible service, grumpy staff, no chairs. In a flight to Barcelona, no flight personnel speaking Spanish.
Pascale DaherDecember 3, 2022Good luck if you’re hungry! At 8pm all the restaurants are closing/closed 😂
