Qype: Flughafen Tegel in Berlin

Berlin - Transportation - Public Transport - Airports


An interesting oddity amongst airports in European cities at least. You actually get dropped off by your taxi outside the gate that your flight is leaving from! To facilitate this idea, there's a large parking space and electronic info board where your driver can stop to locate the flight before you drive into the airport.

The advantage is clear - you don't have to walk very far at all. On the downside, there's only 1 security scanner per gate (I bet they didn't use security scanners when Tegel was built!), so it can take a while to get through.

Go and experience this strange place whilst you still can, like Tempelhof before it, it's not long for this world.
