Travelling to and in Berlin

By Air

Schönefeld (SXF), some 22 km southwest of the city centre, handles most flights to / from Eastern Europe. Schönefeld airport is a popular airport for low cost carriers, like Easyjet or Ryanair.
The third airport is the central, but tiny Tempelhof airport (THF) in southern Kreuzberg.
