Rail leaves from Flughafen BER – Terminal 1-2, directly under Terminal 1 on level U2. From Terminal 2, follow the signed passage through level E0. BER is in fare zone C, so you need a Berlin ABC ticket (€5.00 single in 2026). Buy it before boarding; validate a paper ticket or activate a digital one before starting the journey.
