Berlin Airports Tegel and Schonefeld

Tegel Airport:

Tegel is situated in the northwest of Berlin, approximately 8 km from the city-centre. You can reach the western city centre from the airport conveniently within 15 minutes.
Apart from the buses 109 and 128 the JetExpressBus TXL connects the airport to the main train station Hauptbahnhof. The Expressbus X9 leaves from the train station Zoologischer Garten. The Expressbuses stop only at the main bus stops and are therefore a quick connection.
The bus or undergound ticket costs € 2.10 (fair zone AB), or € 2.80 for trips to the surroundings (fair zone ABC).

Schonefeld Airport:

Schönefeld is situated in the southeast of Berlin, approximately 18 km from the city centre. The airport is connected with the city centre by the S-Bahn (suburban train) lines S49 and S9 as well as with several AirportExpress trains that run from/to Hauptbahnhof, Zoologischer Garten, Friedrichstraße, Alexanderplatz and Ostbahnhof every half an hour. Tickets for these trains or the S-Bahn cost 2.80 €. S45 and S9 need about 45 minutes for the trip to the centre, the trains take 15 min (from/to Ostbahnhof) to 30 min (from/to Hauptbahnhof), 35 min(from/to Zoologischer Garten). All trains and the S-Bahn stop at the station "Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld".
New: since December 2008 exists a special bus connection (Schnellbus SXF 1) for 6 Euro between the station Südkreuz and airport Schönefeld.
Attention: Since April 1, 2008 you need the ABC ticket from Schönefeld to Berlin because Schönefeld belongs to fair zone C.
