FEX · DB Regio, on a VBB ticketFEX airport express

From

Flughafen BER station, beneath Terminal 1

To

Berlin Hauptbahnhof, via Sudkreuz and Potsdamer Platz

Luggage

A regional train with racks; it is built for the route.

Runs

04:00–01:00

Journey

23 min

It is the same EUR 5.00 as every other way into Berlin. You are choosing on departure time, not on price.

Make sure your ticket covers zone C. An AB ticket does not reach the airport, and the extension sold to fix that costs more than an ABC ticket would have.

Four of you should buy one 4-Fahrten-Karte at EUR 16.80 rather than four singles at EUR 20.00. At three, four singles are not worth it and EUR 15.00 in singles is cheaper.

The journey was about 39 minutes until December 2025 and is about 23 now, so older guides overstate it badly.
