Tegel Airport
The main passenger airport of Berlin (Berlin Tegel Airport) is located to the west of the city and is adjacent to the Tegel district. It was built in 1948, but for civilian transport it became available only in 1960. Today it is so loaded that there is no opportunity to launch new flights. But in the vicinity of Berlin, the Berlin Brandenburg International Airspace is already being built, with a capacity of 45 million passengers per year.
Direct flights with Berlin are connected Russian cities Moscow and St. Petersburg, and all over the world such cities 130 .Despite the extreme workload, all airport services work very quickly and clearly, which makes it possible to make connections between flights very short .But Russian passengers flying with a change at Tegel Airport must be attentive: the transit zone of the airport operates mainly only for AirBerlin flights, that is, in some cases it is necessary to go beyond the transit zone to change the flight, accordingly there is a need for the Schengen visa .
Navigation at the airport is simple and clear. There are numerous recreation areas, restaurants and cafes with a variety of cuisine, a small but quite convenient duty-free zone (Heinemann-dutyfree) for passengers.
Every 10 minutes from the airport the TXL express bus leaves, which delivers passengers to the city center, to Alexanderplatz. The road takes about half an hour and passes by most of the city's attractions, so it's not only the most convenient way to the city, but also the most beautiful. In addition, buses 109 and X9 go to the Berlin Bahnhof Zoo.
