Introduction
Are you having a flight in the morning from Berlin? Whether you are going to have a serious business meeting or have wonderful vacation ahead of you, there is nothing worse than being late for the flight at Berlin Airport. In this blog post, let me share few more useful tips and the alternatives to avoid such situation and make the journey smoother in the early hours to the Airport. Let’s dive in!
The Night Before
Preparation is key when it comes to getting to Berlin Airport early in the morning. Here are some essential steps to take the night before:
1. Double Check Your Travel Documents
Make sure, that before you go to the airport you have all mandatory documents for the trip ready. Make sure that all necessary papers such as passport, boarding pass and any others are easily accessible. So, it is always better to keep them in a separate folio or a travel wallet so that at last moment no mishappening occurs.
2. Set Multiple Alarms
The first of the benefits of waking up early is that it can be difficult to get out of bed if you’re more of a night owl. Always set several alarms to ensure you are not over-slept. Also add suggested location for alarm clock/phone in bedroom: Sleep younger, turn off all sources of light and put your alarm clock/phone out of reach of the nightstand so that you don’t turn it off immediately when it rings.
Transportation Options
When it comes to getting to Berlin Airport early in the morning, there are several transportation options available. Let’s explore a few of them:
1. Public Transportation
It also has a well developed local transport in form of rails with trains, trams and bus services with their terminals in Berlin. The best and fastest means is the Airport-express, which connects principal railway stations to BER Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL) and Berlin Schönefeld Airport (SXF). These trains mainly commence early in the morning and afford the rider the opportunity of arriving on time.
If you are planning on being based further out from the city centre do not panic! Any buses which transport passengers from one region of Berlin to another are also available during the early hours to transport passengers to airports. If one is planning to travel to the festival site, it is perhaps wise to check the transport timetable early enough and then plan for some other time just in case of early morning or evening delay.
