Berlin Tegel Airport was once the primary airport for West Berlin but now serves the entire city.
The unique hexagonal design of Berlin Tegel Airport’s main terminal, which uses the IATA callsign TXL, makes this airport extremely easy to traverse, as crossing the terminal’s open plaza can lead you straight to your flight. While most flights originate out of the hexagonal Terminal A and the adjacent Terminal B, a handful of flights also start or end in Terminals C, D, or E. Take a look at an airport map to help you find your way around.
