Review of Flughafen Berlin-Tegel

Probably the worst airport I've ever been to. Flew...

Probably the worst airport I've ever been to. Flew out of here in the evening from Terminal C Gate 87, fortunately we decided to go to another area before coming to our gate and were lucky to find some seating. This airport honestly looks like a warehouse that has been converted into an airport with no thought or energy spent to consider customer satisfaction or comfort.

There are very little food choices once inside the terminal, prices on all products are hugely inflated, very little seating available, the toilets looked like nothing more than glorified portacabins, signage is poor and confusing when present.

However if you want to watch (and listen) to baggage handlers chucking bags around whilst you try to relax before your flight you're in luck!

Given that this is one of the two airports serving the capital, I'm appalled that this hasn't been upgraded or improved. Airports are supposed to be places to relax, enjoy and they're the last memory of the place you've visited, this airport really let's Berlin down.

Recommend eating before you arrive, and spend as little time as possible here. There are no gift shops etc inside so buy any last minute gifts in the city before heading over.
