Berlin currently has two major airports that are used for commercial flights. The most conveniently located airport is Flughafen Tegel (TXL) in the northern suburbs of Berlin. However, most low-cost airlines fly to Flughafen Schönefeld (SXF) to the south of Berlin. Fortunately, ground transportation is well organized and cheap to both airports.

NOTE: Berlin Brandenburg International Willy Brandt Airport (BER / BBI) replaced both Berlin Tegel (TXL) and Berlin Schönefeld (SXF) airports as the only airport serving the capital of Germany from November 2020.

German low-cost airlines have basically abandoned routes from Berlin to Great Britain and Ireland. Lufthansa often has very good special fares that can compete with low-cost airlines, especially for travelers with check-in luggage. Easyjet and Ryanair have the most flights from British and Irish airports to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (SXF).

Cheap Flights from London & British Airports to Berlin Tegel (TXL) on Air Berlin

German low-cost airlines have basically abandoned routes from Berlin to Britain. Germany’s favorite low-cost airline airberlin (formerly spelled less hip Air Berlin) used to fly from Berlin Tegel (TXL) three times per day to London Stansted (STN). However, the only way to get to London from Berlin on airberlin is now on connecting flights via either Düsseldorf (DUS) or Nürnberg / Nuremberg (NUE). Most airberlin flights arrive at the more convenient Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL) rather than at Berlin Schönefeld Airport (SXF).

The center of Berlin can easily be reached on public transportation from both Tegel and Schönefeld.
