Potsdam-West is a district west of the Potsdam inner city, between Park Sanssouci, the Neustädter Havelbucht and Zeppelinstraße. Between period streets, the waterside and green spaces, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Potsdam-West address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Potsdam-West to BER
For the trip from Potsdam-West 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 by tram and regional train with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. The district lies south-west of Berlin; the route runs via the A115 and the Berlin ring (A10) as well as the A113 to BER. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 50 to 65 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 Potsdam-West
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Potsdam-West address – whether a period building on Zeppelinstraße, an address near Park Sanssouci or one by the Havelbucht. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. With luggage in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to changing trains several times. See how the BER airport pickup works.
