I flew from and to Tegel once or twice per week on average last year. I find Tegel to actually be quite ok. Getting there on the TXL is quite convenient from many places in the city, and most importantly doesn't take very long (as opposed to Schönefeld/BER, which is rather far out). The interior could use a remodeling, but the layout is convenient because it has a security checkpoint per gate. I'm sure that is more expensive to operate than the single checkpoint per terminal model that is common these days, but it is quite efficient for getting to your gate.
- chobeat 7y agobeware that the TXL bus is not gonna reach Tegel anymore, they are changing the lines.
- phreeza 7y agoSurely the bus named after the airport will continue to run to the airport? I think it will no longer go up to Alexanderplatz, and instead end at Hauptbahnhof.
- chobeat 7y agoI understood it differently: it will start in Alex but not go all the way to the airport. Your point makes sense though. It should start in September.

- jashmatthews 7y agoI'm fairly sure the TXL bus is just stoppingn at Hauptbahnhof now instead of going all the way to Alexanderplatz.
- Symbiote 7y ago> I flew from and to Tegel once or twice per week on average last year. Rather than building new airports, we should be making flying significantly more inconvenient, to discourage this cost to the environment.
- iso-8859-1 7y ago> Schönefeld/BER, which is rather far out Depends where in the city you need to go to. Ostbahnhof to Schönefeld is 16 minutes with the RB 14, 17 minutes with the RE 7. A vastly better experience than the TXL bus which is often crowded.
