How do I get from Berlin city centre to Berlin airport?

For one traveler the FEX airport express is the way we recommend: €5 in total, 23 min, boarding at Berlin Hauptbahnhof. The first one leaves at 00:52 and is at the airport by about 01:15; the last leaves at 23:52. Berlin Brandenburg sets no single recommended arrival time: check-in and boarding times depend entirely on the airline, and the airport's own advice is simply to allow good time and confirm both with whoever you're flying with.
