Buses are generally the best, fastest, and cheapest way to travel to Flughafen Berlin-Tegel Airport (TXL).

Tegel Airport is generally the more convenient of Berlin’s two major airports. Berlin-Schönefeld (SXF) is to the south of the city and the preferred airport of low-cost airlines. However, note that Air Berlin mostly flies to Tegel.

Berlin-Tegel Airport is in public transportation zone B, thus an AB ticket is required to travel to most parts of Berlin. A taxi from Tegel-Airport to Berlin Hauptbahnhof is around €25 – expensive compared to the €2.10 currently required for an AB-zone ticket.

• Passengers transiting to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport require an ABC-zone ticket (€2.80).
