Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get from Berlin Brandenburg Airport to the city center?

The FEX (Airport Express) train runs from BER to Berlin Hauptbahnhof (central station) in about 30 minutes. S-Bahn lines S9 and S45 also serve the airport with more stops, reaching Alexanderplatz in about 45 minutes. A single AB+C zone ticket costs EUR 4.00. The train station is located directly beneath Terminal 1. Taxis to central Berlin cost EUR 40-55.

How many terminals does Berlin Brandenburg Airport have?

BER has two terminals. Terminal 1 is the main building designed by gmp Architekten, with departure and arrival levels, extensive commercial areas, and a modern design. Terminal 2 is a simpler functional building north of Terminal 1 for additional capacity. The old Schonefeld terminal is no longer in regular use.

Why was Berlin Brandenburg Airport so delayed?

BER was originally scheduled to open in 2011 but did not open until October 2020 — a 9-year delay that became Germany's most notorious construction scandal. Problems included faulty fire safety systems, cable management errors, and project management failures. The final cost exceeded EUR 7 billion, roughly triple the original budget.

Is there free Wi-Fi at Berlin Brandenburg Airport?

Yes, BER offers free Wi-Fi throughout both terminals. The network provides 30 minutes of high-speed access, renewable indefinitely. Terminal 1 has modern amenities including extensive shopping, restaurants, and a variety of lounges.

Which airlines have a hub at Berlin Brandenburg Airport?

easyJet has its largest base outside the UK at BER, making it the dominant carrier. Eurowings and Ryanair also have major operations. Lufthansa provides connections to its Frankfurt and Munich hubs. Berlin is Germany's largest city but does not serve as a primary hub for any full-service network carrier, which keeps fares competitive across many low-cost options.
