This page adds route-specific notes for Alt-Hohenschönhausen–BER while keeping the booking process deliberately simple.
Alt-Hohenschönhausen lies in the heart of Lichtenberg and combines Berlin's history with everyday life. The former Stasi memorial, the Obersee and the Orankesee give the district its own character. Between prefab housing blocks and detached houses by the water, families, pensioners and newcomers live side by side. But when the holidays call, it quickly becomes clear: BER is anything but quick to reach from here. A booked airport transfer takes you from Alt-Hohenschönhausen to Berlin BER Airport and picks you up again after landing. The Berlin Airport Shuttle gets you safely to your destination.
Public transport from Alt-Hohenschönhausen: tram, S-Bahn, patience
Alt-Hohenschönhausen is served mainly by the tram. The M5 and M6 take you to Lichtenberg or Alexanderplatz, from where you continue by S-Bahn or regional train towards BER. If you walk to Hohenschönhausen S-Bahn station, you have the S75 available, but you still have to change. In total, that means two to three changes and 55 to 75 minutes of travel time.
The tram is reliable in everyday life, but in the morning it runs on a tight schedule and is crowded. Riding the M5 with suitcases at rush hour is no fun. And anyone who wants to get back from BER to Alt-Hohenschönhausen after 11 pm has to rely on night buses that creep through the east of Berlin on endless detours.
Taxi and ride apps: decent distance, variable costs
From Alt-Hohenschönhausen to BER it's around 27 kilometres. A taxi charges 42 to 60 euros for that. The route via the B1 or Landsberger Allee and then the A113 can be done in 35 minutes with clear roads. During the morning rush hour, that quickly turns into an hour. UBER and Bolt basically work in the area, but the prices jump significantly depending on the time of day. Anyone heading to the airport on a Sunday morning pays little. Anyone flying on a Friday evening experiences the surge price in full force.
