Berlin has 2 Airports
(now that Tempelhof closed in October 2008):Flughafen Tegel: "Tegel" airport is Berlin's busiest and conveniently located just 9 km northwest of the center of Berlin. Recently upgraded, it is well-connected to public transport:
* Buses just outside the airport terminal travel to the center of Berlin and connect with the underground system: 109, 128, X9 and TXL. Bus X9 connects to subway station "Jakob-Kaiser-Platz" (on underground line U6). Buses X9 and 109 both connect to the major subway station "Zoologischer Garten U-Bahn" (also known as the "Zoo Station") near the Ku'damm area as well as to the S-Bahn (surface rail).
* A taxi from the airport to central Berlin costs about € 15 to 17.
Flughafen Schönefeld: "Schonefeld" airport receives over 6 million visitors a year (80% of whom are passengers on low-cost carriers). Once known as Berlin Brandenburg airport (in East Berlin), Schönefeld is located 18 kilometers southeast of the city center. Just outside this airport you can catch the Airport Express bus for a 30-minute ride to the Ku-damm. The 171 bus will take you to the "Rudow" U-Bahn station, to the U7 (Underground Line 7) going to the Zoo, or to the S-Bahn (surface rail system) where the S9 line will drop you off at Alexanderplatz.
