After landing, baggage reclaim, the terminal route and a realistic meeting point matter more than a theoretical journey time. Direct rail, airport shuttle, taxi and pre-booked pickup are available.
From terminal to train or bus
The airport station is below Terminal 1 on level U2. From Terminal 2 follow signs towards Terminal 1 and the station. Express buses stop outside Terminal 1 on arrivals level E0; BER lists stop A2 for BER2.
RB22 towards Potsdam
RB22 runs via Ludwigsfelde-Struveshof and Saarmund to Golm, Park Sanssouci, Potsdam Hbf and, depending on service and weekday, Griebnitzsee. It suits destinations near a station with manageable luggage.
BER2 towards Potsdam Hbf
The direct bus runs via Schönefeld, Teltow, Stahnsdorf and Kleinmachnow. BER states about 60 minutes. Tickets are sold only on board and an express surcharge applies.
Pre-booked pickup
For private pickup, check the flight number, confirmed meeting place and messages after landing. Included waiting and flight-change conditions are those displayed before checkout. Vehicles for families, hotels or groups up to 19 may be available.
Hotels and addresses
Enter the complete Potsdam destination rather than the city alone so route, vehicle and price can be calculated correctly. Check BER pickup to Potsdam.
