Security check is one of he tightest I ever met. But.. When they saw something like a knife on the introscope, they became highly alerted. Their attitude changed to very friendly and even dreamy, when they found out that something was Ju-52 model

nice eastern airport, former major capital airport of East Berlin (capital city of the German Democratic Republic) during the cold war right behind the south-eastern wall of former West-Berlin. And the airport still looks like DDR. I like that! :D

Germanwings take off from their own terminal, quite ok but if you forget plastic bag you have to pay 50 cents per each. There is one ATM near cafe.

Better transport than to Tegel Airport, much less busy airport than Tegel meaning flights almost all on time. From the front gates there is nice view over parts of the apron. Be aware of very late posting of gate numbers, it appears shortly before the gate actually closes.

Der Flughafen ist zwar in die Jahre gekommen, dies ist jedoch auch gleichzeitig der Vorteil des Flughafens. Kurze Wege! Meiner Meinung nach ist das das wichtigste am Flughafen...Nach der Sicherheitskontrolle gibt es einen normalen Duty-Free Shop sowie die Moglichkeit bei Burger King

It is quite old airport, you can just feel it. Even though did not have any problems, only had to wait in queue for security. Did not really explore it, but overall was great! Easy to reach by train or bus.

Seemingly random airport layout with nowhere to view the apron well. Had to stand in line for 45 minutes to get to the gate because each gate has individual passport control stations. Waiting area at the gate was barely big enough for the 200 or so passengers travelling on my flight

A quite small airport for a large capital like Berlin, especially it's much to aged and there's nothing modern. The WiFi is very good and fast but you have to wait a very long time for check-in as well as for the security check! All in all we can conclude, that it's better, when the

Not enough seats available while waiting. Might have been because we had our flight during rush-hour, but having to sit on the ground for nearly an hour isn't very comfortable nor really acceptable from any modern airport.

Schonefeld airport is easy to access and the security check even though it's always crowded it's pretty fast. Apart from that, the airport is pretty bad, small waiting area available on most of the gates and poor facilities.

Every Easyjet Airport is faster. The security rows are extremly slow. You have to calculate 1 Hour before departure for securtity. And then you dont have time for a toilet stop! Its the old DDR Interflight Airport which has some refurbishings....

Arriving at Schonefeld was good. After disembarkation and entering the terminal, we walked quite far to reach immigration and baggage reclaim. This due in part because my flight used the new low cost section of the airport. Immigration took longer than I expected from an European a

Small and very old airport, only positive is the relatively fast connection to Berlin via S-Bahn trains. But all other things are bad: slow security, dirty waiting areas, uncomfortable seating. Not enough shops and runway is far away from terminals. Avoid this airport!

The journey to Berlin Schonefeld Airport was very good. We took the S-Bahn from Central Berlin to the airport.

We arrived 3 hours before departure, so more than enough time. But, what became immediately clear was that the facilities were dated even before getting past check-

Poor airport... I kept asking myself if this airport is in Europe and in Germany. Not only food and retail services are few, but toilet maintenance and cleaning is just a complete joke.
The only good news about this airport is customs/security which is fast and professional.

This place is old, dirty, smelly and just simply terrible. It looks like there is a new airport being built adjacent to the old place. Hope this is correct - I found it when trying to return my rental car. there was no lounge and I had to wait in a dank corridor for my flight.
