Claims service at Berlin Schönefeld Airport. How to get from Schönefeld airport to Berlin. How to get from Schönefeld Airport to Berlin

We have collected information on how to get from Tegel and Schönefeld airports to the center of Berlin using various types of transport: buses, trains and taxis.

There are currently two airports in Berlin: Tegel and Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld. Both airports accept both international and domestic flights. Around 2018, it is planned to open a new airport - Berlin-Brandenburg named after Willy Brandt (Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg), which will replace the old airports and will be the only one in the German capital. Berlin-Brandenburg Airport will partially occupy the territory of Schönefeld.

Tegel Airport is one of the largest airports in Germany, receiving a huge flow of passengers. It consists of five terminals (A to E), and is home to airlines such as AirBerlin and Lufthansa. Schönefeld Airport is visited by significantly fewer people and is used mainly by the low-cost airline easyJet. Getting from Berlin airports to the city center is very easy thanks to buses that connect the airports to the city center. Read more about how to get to Berlin below.

How to get from Tegel Airport to Berlin

Buses

You can get from Tegel Airport to Berlin by the following buses:

  • TXL JetExpressBus

The easiest and fastest way to get from the airport to Berlin is by this bus, the route of which runs to Alexanderplatz (S+U Alexanderplatz). Buses run every 10 minutes until 10 pm. Travel time is approximately 40 minutes. The ticket costs about 2.70 euros (AB ticket).

  • X9 JetExpressBus

This bus can take you from Tegel Airport to the center of West Berlin - the Zoological Garden (Zoologischer Garten Station) - in 20 minutes. The ticket also costs about 2.70 euros.

  • № 128

The terminus of bus number 128 is U Osloer Straße. You can use it to get to the metro (U Kurt-Schumacher-Platz).

  • № 109

You can also get from Berlin Airport by bus number 109 - it goes to the Zoological Garden (the journey takes about 27 minutes). Essentially, this bus follows the same route as the X9 JetExpressBus, but makes stops much more often: at Charlottenburg, Adenauerplatz, Uhlandstraße and Kurfürstendamm stations.

Bus stops are located outside terminals A and B. All types of tickets in Berlin and their prices can be found. The airport is located in zone B, so it is better to purchase AB tickets.

Trains and subways

Get from Berlin Airport to the center directly by train or metro will not work, since the airport is not connected to the subway and railway. This can only be done with a transplant:

  • at the metro and railway stations Jakob-Kaiser-Platz and Jungfernheide you can change to buses No. 109 and JetExpressBus X9;
  • At Beusselstraße train station you can change to JetExpressBus TXL.

Please note that in Berlin there are Tegel (railway) and Alt-Tegel (metro) stations, but you cannot get to the airport from them - you need to return to the center and take the bus there.

Taxi and car rental

Don't want to take public transport? Then the best option for you would be to pre-order a car of the class and capacity you need from the service at a fixed price. The driver will be waiting for you with a sign at the airport. In addition, you can find taxi drivers upon arrival - inside terminal A (gates 6-9) and outside terminals C and E. Standard fares apply to all Berlin taxis. The cost of travel to the center is about 21-26 euros.

It is also possible to rent a car directly at the airport (outside Terminal E) or on the Skyscanner Car Hire website.

Schönefeld (SXF, EDDB) is one of the two main airports in the German capital. Initially, it served East Berlin, so it is there that, according to old memory (since 1946), the airline with the hammer and sickle in its livery flies, as well as Rossiya from Pulkovo; Basically, they cluster here, primarily easyJet and Ryanair. So Schönefeld is interesting not only from the point of view of visiting Berlin, but also allows you to fly somewhere further in Europe: Aeroflot, and especially Rossiya, often have cheap tickets to Berlin, and then you can experiment with discounters . However, tickets for low-cost airline flights need to be booked much in advance, because it is difficult to fly to some more or less interesting place for less than 200 euros for RT in the next two weeks, and with such prices you can get there from Russia.

The airport is located in the south-eastern part of Berlin outside the city border. There are three ways to get to Berlin itself. The first two are a train. A couple of hundred meters from the airport is Schönefeld station, which is reached by a covered, illuminated path. To attract inexperienced tourists, an old S-Bahn train car with a large sign imitating a stop was installed near the terminal; however, it is actually just a cafe.

There are two S-Bahn lines to Schönefeld: S9 and S45. The first of them works even at night at half-hour intervals. However, neither one nor the other will take you to the city center: in any case, you will have to change trains on the Circle Line. During the day this is not a problem, but at night (and especially at night on weekends) other lines are likely to be closed.

When traveling on the S-Bahn it is also important to understand that Schönefeld station is the only one on the entire route located in fare zone C (outside the city), so you will need to buy the more expensive ABC ticket for €3.30 rather than the seemingly obvious AB for 2.70. The controllers are very fond of catching inexperienced tourists, and they all wear civilian clothes, not uniforms, and until a certain moment they do not betray their presence in any way. The fine is 40 euros, and you can be caught anywhere: a single-trip ticket is valid on all public transport with an unlimited number of transfers within 2 hours from the moment of validation. Yes, after purchasing a ticket, immediately insert it into the validator on the platform. He will stamp the date and station name, and the “unchecked ticket” is invalid.

Very important: at the station itself, ticket machines only accept coins. If you don’t have coins, it’s better to buy tickets at the airport building, there are two machines there that also accept bank cards. There is also a ticket office to the right of the exit. There are long lines at the cash registers and machines; The best option would be to purchase an electronic ticket in the DVB FahrInfo Plus mobile application. (Android iOS Windows)

Schönefeld station

Instead of the S-Bahn, you can, however, get directly to the center of Berlin on the local equivalent of Aeroexpress, or rather, our Lastochka, that is, on a commuter train. RE7 and RB14 run every 30 minutes and will get you there much faster as they make far fewer stops. If you travel by S-Bahn for at least an hour, then by train - a maximum of 30 minutes. You just need to go a little further along the underground tunnel at the station.

The third method is only good late at night: the N7 night bus runs from the airport to the city. It is usually two-story, so you can take a short tour while sitting on the upper deck, because the ride is very, very long.

Exit to the InterCity Hotel from the underground passage near the station

By the way, as for the night: right next to the airport, a 5-minute walk, is the InterCity Hotel. The cost of living there (on average 80-120 euros per night) includes a train ticket to Berlin and back, but breakfast is paid separately and costs 12 euros. If you rightly think that 120 euros is a little expensive for a night at the airport, go to the village of Schönefeld itself (one station on the S-Bahn or 20 minutes on foot), where the Pension Schwalbenweg (www.pension-schwalbenweg.de) is located. You can spend the night for 28 euros per day. Pension in Germany is not a boarding house, as they say in dictionaries, but rather something between a hotel and a hostel: you will have your own room, without eight-bed bunks, but the only amenities are a sink, and a shower, toilet, kitchen and washing machine - shared on the floor (however, it is clean, quiet and there are no queues). For those who do not want to carry suitcases, a transfer is offered for 5 euros.

Schönefeld. Layout of terminals and public transport stops

The airport itself was built during the GDR, in 1976, and has changed little since then: in the worst traditions or terminal (in fact there are 4 of them, but they are small and three of them are connected internally, and the fourth, C, is practically not used) frankly too small for current passenger traffic. In this regard, queues here seem to be created on purpose. In particular, in order to get into the tiny check-in hall, you need to go through the first, common baggage inspection. There are no Fast Tracks for elite levels of passengers in Schönefeld, which is logical, because, by and large, only Aeroflot has such passengers here, which operates four flights a day.

In Schönefeld there is often only one security line. Now there is a window between flights and there are no people.

After registration there is another level of inspection, this time full, with the removal of watches, belts, and phones. It is also common for all flights, so at some moments a serious crowd can gather here: there is only one security line; Now imagine 189 Ryanair passengers, most of whom are not particularly experienced in air travel and, saving on luggage, fill their hand luggage with SUDDENLY prohibited items. Everyone needs to explain why the item is prohibited, check again... In general, it is better to arrive at the airport in advance, and sneak through during the “window” between discounter flights.

After security, immediately to the right is the Hugo Junkers Lounge: cramped and with uncomfortable chairs, but with Wi-Fi and a wide selection of alcohol. For food - only nuts, crackers and cookies with chocolates. The windows offer panoramic views of the airfield.

Business lounge in Schönefeld

Food and drinks in the Schönefeld business lounge

By the way, for those who like to look at airplanes in Schönefeld there is a terrace on the second floor. It is open from 10 am to 6 pm and admission costs 2 euros for adults and 1 euro for children. A child will find it much more interesting on the terrace than in a stuffy and cramped storage facility. Just keep in mind: you are not allowed onto the terrace with your belongings.

In the clean area there is also a fairly large Duty Free store (Heinemann), although the prices here cannot be called very low. It is interesting that the prices are the same for both European and non-European destinations, although the latter should theoretically be lower, but the discounts only apply to cigarettes, which, of course, is pointless to bring to Russia.

Duty Free store in Schönefeld

After passport control you find yourself in a small glass aquarium, from which you can then only enter the plane. There are no toilets, shops or food there, so think carefully before going there. But in the clean area you can eat well: there is a bakery with a variety of rolls and coffee, an Irish pub, and Burger King, so if you arrive at the airport early, you won’t get bored. There are also shops with food and drinks that...

There are also alcoholic ones among them, but remember that many airlines prohibit drinking their own alcohol on board. We will definitely write about how to get around this ban soon, however, the methods are quite obvious even without this. Let us only note that alcohol only makes you feel worse during a flight, and if you are afraid of flying, then

On the opposite side of the airfield is the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), which, however, has the same ICAO code as Schönefeld: EDDB. Which, however, is logical, since the airfield is the same, and the new Brandenburg airport is, in fact, a new terminal, approximately like Sheremetyevo-2 in relation to Sheremetyevo-1. The terminal was built back in 2006-2011, but has not yet been opened, since it was not accepted by the commission due to numerous violations discovered during the design and construction (in particular, the smoke removal system in case of fire was inoperative, there are no lightning rods and insufficient power of emergency generators), the elimination of which would cost in significant amounts of money, which there is nowhere to get: initially the airport was supposed to cost 1.7 billion euros, and now the estimate has already increased to 5.1 billion, and they still cannot find a contractor ready to remake the already built airport. The international scandal turned out just right. It is unclear when the new airport will open, they are now talking about 2017, but it is known that the S-Bahn lines will be extended to it, and the old Schönefeld airport will be closed, as well as Berlin’s second airport, Tegel.

Unfinished Willy Brandt Airport BER

Schönefeld Airport (IATA code - SXF) is one of the two main airports in the German capital. The airport serves more than 7 million passengers per year. Initially, Schönefeld served East Berlin, so it is here, according to old memory, that Aeroflot airline flies, as well as Rossiya from the airport. Mostly European low-cost airlines are based here, primarily easyJet and Ryanair. So, Schönefeld is interesting not only from the point of view of visiting Berlin, but also allows you to fly somewhere further across Europe at a minimal cost.

The second German low-cost airline, Germanwings, is located in Schönefeld. Norwegian, a young company on the German market, has also chosen Schönefeld for its flights.

Schönefeld airport terminals

The airport consists of four terminals (A, B, C, D) connected to each other. You can see the airport map.

  • Terminal A. Mainly serves flights of Ryanair, as well as Aeroflot and some others.
  • Terminal B: Handles EasyJet flights exclusively.
  • Terminal C. Designed to serve special flights.
  • Terminal D. Was opened in 2005 to relieve congestion at the main terminals. Mainly used by Condor and Norwegian Air Shuttle.

To apply for tax free, you need to go to the customs point, which is located in the main hall of terminal A on the second floor. You must have purchases, receipts, a completed Global Blue form and a passport with you. For cash returns, a fee of EUR 3 will be charged.

HOW TO GET FROM SCHONEFELD AIRPORT TO THE CITY

The airport is located in the south-eastern part of Berlin, 18 km. from the city center. There are three ways to get to Berlin itself by public transport: the first two are by train.

Line S9 works around the clock, at night it works in half-hour intervals, the line S45 open until 01:00.

However, neither one nor the other will take you to the city center: in any case, you will have to change trains on the Circle Line. During the day this is not a problem, but at night (and especially at night on weekends) other lines are likely to be closed. You can view or download the Berlin metro map.

Schönefeld Airport belongs to transport zone C of the city of Berlin. The ticket is valid for ABC zones and costs 3.20 euros for adults and 2.30 euros for children 6-14 years old.

Schönefeld Airport inside

Airport

Today, the old bus station serves mainly charter flights, as well as scheduled tourist flights organized by low-cost airlines.

The airport complex includes 4 terminals. Terminals A and B are located in 1 building. The first serves flights of different airlines. The second contains only EasyJet flights. Building C serves only special flights. Terminal D was built to reduce the burden on the others.

The territory of this airport has everything necessary for a comfortable stay for passengers while waiting for their flight. Here you will find a first-aid post, a pharmacy, and a mother and child room. There are also currency exchange offices on the territory of the airport. You will definitely find something to do while waiting for the plane. For example, you can go shopping, of which there are quite a lot. There are also cafes and restaurants on the airport premises. There is a Duty Free store and small retail outlets with souvenirs.

Now you know how to get from Schönefeld Airport to the center of Berlin. The choice of a specific option and type of transport depends solely on your financial capabilities and personal preferences.
