BERLIN — More than 20 years in the making, Berlin’s new airport is set to open on June 3. With its 70-acre steel, glass and granite terminal, Berlin Brandenburg Airport will bring the city’s passengers into the world of 21st-century air travel. And that, for many, is precisely the problem — they prefer the 20th century.
I love Tegal, it is small (compared to Heathrow) and functional. From plane to taxi is no more than a 10 minute walk (maybe 15, depending on how much luggage you have). If you want to, you can catch a bus from the airport into the city centre, given that you're carrying bags and that taxis are fairly cheap, a taxi is the best option. All cabs are clean and cool. Depending on the journey we've paid between (No Euro symbol on my keypad, so all prices show £ but mean Euros) £20 and £45. All the drivers we have had have driven a correct route and not took the piss.
If you really want to, you can get a travel pass at the airport. They have a couple of varieties, we normally go for the one that cost £35 one. They allow you to travel on all trains, buses and trams in Berlin for 5 days. They are fantastic value. It is true that we have only been asked to show them once in all thee time we have been there, but on that occasion, we were able to provide them, unlike a fellow passenger who was taken off and promptly nicked. We prefer worry free travel, and again, they are fantastic value for money. There is one that is available that gets you discounts on various tourist attractions, also worth it if you plan to run around the various and numerous museums and attractions, it may well be worth it.
