Tegel what can you say apart from it being a brilliant airport to pass through . It is very compact the terminal building is circular so you cannot get lost.

For business it is a great airport as you can turn up at short notice and still make your flight 15 minutes before is my experience but not recommended .

I can recommend teh Red Baron restaurant they do a good steak, however with current exchange rates £30 for a steak ...  Read the complete review

Berlin Tegel International is the most central of 3 Berlin airports (the others being Tempelhof and Schonefeld), most of the flights from regular carriers depart and arrive at Berlin Tegel, as do the budget flights from TuiFly. Although Schonefeld is easy to get to, it is much more convenient to leave from Tegel because it is more or less bag in the centre, at no more than 8km from Hauptbahnhof and a bus travelling between the two every 10 minutes.

Tegel is located 5 miles (8 km) northwest of central Berlin. A tourist office at the airport is open from 5:30 A.M. to 11:30 P.M. daily. Good taxi service is provided just outside the terminal. The fare is about 25 deutsche mark to Bahnhof Zoo Station, the main station in the centre of Berlin, and the ride takes between 20 and 25 minutes.

The bus route follows the Kurfurstendamm to the Bahnhof Zoo Station—and from there it's an easy taxi or U-bahn ride to ...  Read the complete review
