I Have recently returned from Berlin and we flew in and out of Berlin Schonefeld airport.

The airport is to the east of central Berlin and is quite a distance from the city centre, about 20 - 30 minutes by car.

The airport is relatively small which suprised me as there are only 2 airports in the Berlin area with a city population of near 5 million, which is also growing all the time.

On arrival at the airport it was pretty straight forward, literally in and out past passport control and through into arrivals area. There was a nice little cafe which sold lager so we had a quick drink and jumped in a taxi in the centre to start our long weekender.

We flew with easyjet and on departurean experienced a delay of over 2 hours in the end, this was not the fault of easyjet - it seemed thee was a problem with air traffic control in Geneva.

The problem we had is that we were not told by Berlin airport what was going on. Departures were quite strict and the language barrier didn't help either, in this day and age unfortunately this has to be the case.
There was a relatively large duty free shop and also your usual Burger King, Pub (non-smoking) and a litle shop/gift shop.

All in all the airport was average but I think that this is due to change with a new airport being built with the popularity of the city growing all the time.
