A stress-free start into the holidays

Tips for your journey

Holiday time is travel time: around 3.6 million passengers are expected at BER during the summer holidays in Berlin and Brandenburg.  

FBB has optimised and expanded its services in the terminals to ensure a stress-free start to the holidays. BER Runway – booking access to security control – offers several thousand slots every day. BER Biometrics – the contactless use of facial recognition services – was added on 1 July. Various airlines also offer fast bag drop for baggage check-in without waiting times at more than 120 machines in both terminals.

There will be direct flights from BER to 144 destinations in around 50 countries during the summer holidays. Mediterranean destinations are particularly popular, for example, in Spain, Turkey, Italy, France and Greece. The Spanish island of Majorca is particularly popular with around 900 connections, followed by Antalya on the Turkish Mediterranean with 840 connections.

Additional destinations during the summer holidays include Salerno in Italy, served by easyJet, Tunis in Tunisia, Adana in Turkey and Casablanca in Morocco with Eurowings. SunExpress added Diyarbakir and Kayseri to its Turkish flight schedule.

The airport company generally recommends that holiday travellers arrive at the respective terminal two and a half hours before departure.
