Berlin Tegel International Airport "Otto Lilienthal" is the primary commercial airport for Berlin. No airline maintains a hub there. Lufthansa is the dominant carrier, but there are also numerous flights by Air Berlin and DBA. The vast majority of scheduled flights are to points within Europe; currently only Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines provide transoceanic service; both to New York City in the United States. The airport has two parallel runways, 08L/26R and 08R/26L.
Official Spotting Locations
Observation Deck
The observation deck can be found on top of the Terminal Building. It goes completely around the Building, so you can watch perfectly the whole apron. The deck is open from 10AM to 6PM from April to September, and from 10AM to 4PM at other times of year, but may be closed when the weather is poor. The entrance fee is 2€.
The observation deck offers good views of the runways and excellent departure shots are possible. Lighting is generally good because the runways are located to the north of the observation deck.
