There are different options for travelling to Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport (BER), depending on the trip. This article explains what to consider before booking for “Business Travel to BER: Organise Team Transfers”.
What matters for this journey
The information on this page does not replace the booking-form details. The options and conditions shown there apply to the specific journey.
A business trip rarely fails because of the flight. Problems arise before or after it: a delayed colleague, several taxis, missing receipts, a vehicle that is too small or a guest with no sense of direction at BER. An airport transfer planned in advance brings structure to the trip.
Before booking: these details must be confirmed
For a smooth process you need more than just an address. Clarify the pickup location or hotel address, flight number and arrival time, number of travellers, amount of luggage, vehicle size, destination address, contact person and invoicing details.
With several flights on the same day, it is better to plan separate journeys than to hope for an unclear shared meeting point.
For teams, a shared minibus is often more efficient than several individual transfers. Everyone arrives together, the luggage stays in one vehicle and no one has to wait for another taxi after landing. For small teams, a car or minivan is enough, depending on the luggage. For larger groups, suitable vehicles are available to choose from, subject to availability. What matters is the actual combination of people and luggage.
Welcome guests at BER professionally
For clients, candidates, speakers or international partners, the first leg of the journey from the airport counts. The driver can meet the guest at the agreed meeting point, subject to availability for the booking.
Send the guest only the information they really need in advance: flight number, meeting point, telephone number for queries and destination address. That way no one has to install a ride app after landing or look for an unfamiliar station.
Prepare invoices and travel expenses properly
An invoice with the necessary details can be requested for the travel expense report. So enter the invoicing details early and keep the booking confirmation.
With several journeys, a simple internal structure helps: journey name, date, travellers, cost centre and contact person. That way transfer costs are not later chased up through individual private receipts.
Do not forget the return journey
The return journey to BER should not be organised only on the last day of the trade fair. Set the pickup time and address in advance. Take into account travel time, terminal, baggage drop-off and possible peak times.
For a group trip, a fixed pickup at the hotel or venue is worthwhile. This avoids discussions about who leaves when and whether everyone has their luggage with them.
Can clients be picked up at BER? Yes, provided the service is available for the chosen booking. The exact meeting point and contact details are stated in the confirmation.
Is there an invoice for accounting? An invoice can be requested. Provide the invoicing details early.
Which vehicle is suitable for a team? That depends on the number of people and the luggage. With several large suitcases, do not book by seats alone.
