Altglienicke is a locality in Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick borough in the south of the city, at the boundary with Schönefeld and therefore especially close to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). Between the old village core, the Kosmos quarter and the detached-house estates, many people need a plannable way to reach BER. A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Altglienicke address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Altglienicke to BER
For the trip from Altglienicke to BER, enter your pickup address, date and time in the booking form and see the available vehicle classes with the total price before you book. Instead of changing between S-Bahn and bus with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Altglienicke lies at the southern city boundary especially close to BER, right on the A113 corridor; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 15 to 25 minutes. This is guidance only – the real journey time depends on traffic on the day. See the full overview on Berlin airport transfer.
From BER back to Altglienicke
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Altglienicke address – whether a house in the village core, a flat in the Kosmos quarter or an address near the city boundary. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the short distance, the direct ride is especially convenient; a fixed pickup with a name sign remains a plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
