Travel to Berlin

Flying to Berlin

Flights to Berlin are served by two airports at present, both modernised but congested, though there is light at the end of the tunnel – Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (BBI) is currently being constructed on a site south of Schönefeld Airport. The opening date has been repeatedly put back however, so it may be some time before flights actually land there. Tegel Airport will be closed six months after the opening of Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (BBI), which is scheduled to take place in October 2020. Schönefeld Airport will merge with the planned Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (BBI) into one single airport. Prices remain stable year-round, but it's far easier to get cheap flights if you avoid flying in the summer months and at weekends throughout the year.

Airlines that fly to Berlin's Tegel Airport include Austrian Airlines, airBaltic, Air France, Aer Lingus, Air Serbia, easyJet, Eurowings, Finnair, KLM, and Lufthansa, among others.

Airlines that fly to Berlin's Schönefeld include easyJet, Jet2, Norwegian and Ryanair.
