Berlin Tegel International Airport
Basics
Tegel is located 5 miles (8 km) northwest of central Berlin. A tourist office at the airport is open from 5:30 A.M. to 11:30 P.M. daily. As with Berlin's Tempelhof and Schönefeld Airport Web sites, Tegel's Web site is in German only. Nevertheless, you can use it to locate:
An airport map (click on it for an enlargement)
A list of buses serving the airport
Transportation links (click on the icons on that page)
Taxi
Good taxi service is provided just outside the terminal. The fare is about 25 deutsche mark ($16) to Bahnhof Zoo Station, the main station in the center of Berlin, and the ride takes between 20 and 25 minutes.
Bus
The most convenient and cost effective way to get to and from the airport is by bus. An airport bus, number 109, leaves Tegel every 10 to 15 minutes from outside the arrivals hall.
The bus route follows the Kurfurstendamm to the Bahnhof Zoo Station--and from there it's an easy taxi or U-bahn ride to most hotels. The bus costs about 3.80 deutsche mark ($2) and takes 30 minutes to the Zoo station, the central station for the western part of Berlin.
Rental Car
Avis, Europcar/Interrent, Hertz, Sixt-Budget, and other car rental agencies are located at Tegel.

Airport Facts
Tegel International Airport (IATA: TXL, ICAO: EDDT) (often shortened to Tegel) is an airport in Berlin, Germany. It lies in Tegel, a section of the northern borough of Reinickendorf. Tegel is referred to as the "Frequent Flyer Airport". Tegel has the most scheduled flights of the three airports serving Berlin. In 2003, it served 11.1 mio. passengers/year.
During the Berlin Airlift in 1948, the longest runway in Europe (2,400 m) was built at Tegel. Modern facilities were built in the 1970s, and Tegel began to replace Tempelhof International Airport as the main airport of West Berlin. Tempelhof, surrounded by urban development, was too noisy and its runways were too short for modern jumbo jets. During the Cold War, because of the special status of West Berlin, air traffic was restricted to Allied airlines (particularly Air France, Pan American World Airways and British Airways). According to a decade-old plan to replace the three airports currently serving Berlin with one, Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport will be expanded and become Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport (BBI). Tegel will then be closed about six months after operations begin at BBI (planned for 2007).
Tegel Airport is notable for its octagonal terminal building around an open square, which makes for walking distances as short as 100 ft. from any airplane, through luggage and customs, to taxi or bus.
