Travelling and flying has become more burdensome due to the largely applicable proof and documentation requirements. It is therefore important that passengers prepare well for their flight and, above all, arrive at the airport on time. 

Two things are essential for planning your arrival:

1. All departures and arrivals go from BER’s terminal location Terminal 1-2. Terminal 5 is currently not in operation. 
2. Passengers should be at the terminal two hours before departure and proceed through security as quickly as possible after check-in. 

Passengers and meeters & greeters are asked to find out in advance (digital display boards on site, website or app) whether their departure or arrival is in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. Information on the correct terminal at BER is also provided by the respective airline. All Ryanair flights are handled in Terminal 2.

Basic rules:

• The direction for passengers with to Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 is identical. 
• Passengers arriving by car should take the exit Airport Berlin Brandenburg Terminal 1-2. 
• The railway station under Terminal 1 offers a direct connection to both terminals. 
• The car parks at BER can be used equally for both terminals. 
• From Terminal 1 it is only a short walk of about 5 minutes to Terminal 2. The crossing is via Arrivals Level E0 of Terminal 1 and is signposted.

• If travelling by car, the terminals 1-2 are easy to reach via the A113 and the B96a.
