Berlin travel tips
- Factor in transit time. A 20-minute faster security line isn’t worth it if the airport is 40 minutes further from where you’re staying. Always check ground-transport time first.
- Check the live wait time right before you leave. Security waits can swing by 30+ minutes in a single hour at major Berlin airports.
- Set an alert. FlightQueue can notify you when wait times at your Berlin airport spike so you can leave earlier.
