Halensee is a locality in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough in the west of the city, on the western Kurfürstendamm, around Rathenauplatz, the S-Bahn station and the Halensee lake that gives it its name at the edge of the Grunewald. Between period streets, the Ku'damm and the city ring, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Halensee address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Halensee to BER
For the trip from Halensee 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 travelling on the S-Bahn with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Halensee lies in the west right on the city ring (A100); the route runs via the southern ring and the A113 to BER in the south-east. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 40 to 55 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 Halensee
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Halensee address – whether a period building on Kurfürstendamm, an address on Rathenauplatz or one near the S-Bahn station. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Instead of carrying suitcases up stairs and through changes, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Halensee to BER?
Around the Kurfürstendamm and the S-Bahn station, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport. As an alternative to hailing a metered taxi on the street, you can pre-book a private transfer to or from BER: the price for your route and vehicle class is shown before you confirm, and the driver waits at the agreed address or at the airport. The transport is carried out by external, licensed transfer providers. Read more about booking an airport taxi to BER in advance.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly on Kurfürstendamm and around the S-Bahn station – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and shops sit on the Ku'damm and its side streets; if you combine a walk by the Halensee with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The lake and Kurfürstendamm also make the locality a destination in its own right.
Families, groups and business travellers
Travelling as a group, everyone stays together in one vehicle, from a business car to a minibus for larger parties. On the way from the Ku'damm to the airport, one vehicle for everyone pays off. The booking system shows which vehicle class is available for your passenger count and luggage; for larger groups see the Berlin airport minibus for groups. For business travellers, the addresses on Kurfürstendamm are typical start and end points.
Halensee, Wilmersdorf or Grunewald – which pickup address?
Halensee borders Wilmersdorf to the east, Grunewald to the south and Charlottenburg to the north. East begins Wilmersdorf; south lies the Grunewald. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
