Johannisthal is a locality in Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick borough in the south-east of the city, known for its historic airfield and today's landscape park, right next to the Adlershof technology site. Between housing estates, the park and the commercial areas, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Johannisthal address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Johannisthal to BER
For the trip from Johannisthal 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 train and bus with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Johannisthal lies in the south-east especially well placed for the A113, which runs almost directly to BER; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 20 to 35 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 Johannisthal
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Johannisthal address – whether a flat on Sterndamm, an address near the landscape park or on Stubenrauchstraße. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the short distance, the direct ride is often especially convenient; a fixed pickup with a name sign remains a plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Johannisthal to BER?
