Airport train station guide

The Berlin Brandenburg “Willy Brandt“ airport (IATA-Code BER) opened on 31 October 2020. As Europe’s most modern aviation hub, the airport links Germany’s capital city with all Europe’s central transport axes. Terminal 1 is centrally located on the BER complex, between the parallel take-off and landing strips. Directly connected to Terminal 1 is Terminal 2. The former Schönefeld Airport, on the northern edge of the airport, becomes Terminal 5. All three terminals are easy to reach by public transport. There is a free Mobility Service available for travellers with limited mobility. The BER airport has excellent links to road and rail networks with robust public transport services both sides of the city border. Public transport links include the S-Bahn and regional trains from Berlin and the cities around the airport. Deutsche Bahn (DB) has integrated the BER airport into its network and oofers long-distance rail connections. In addition, passengers can reach the BER in just 35 minutes on the new airport express FEX from Berlin’s Central Station via the Gesundbrunnen and Ostkreuz stations. The regional 22 train from Potsdam, with a journey time of just under an hour, also serves the airport. The S9 and S45 S-Bahn trains also run every 20 minutes directly to the city centre. Passengers bound for BER's main terminals should book to and travel to a new airport station called "Flughafen BER - Terminal 1-2".

Child and youth passengers

The definition of "Child" and "Youth" varies by country and operator. This is why we ask for the age of young passengers.

Sometimes children below a certain age can travel without a seat for free. If you want to guarantee a seat for child passengers, enter '6' as the age of the child.
