The inauguration flight of LHs A380 named Berlin from New Berlin Willi Brandt Airport (BER) is cancelled by Lufthansa - because both luckily and surprisingly the new airport is not opening in June, but furthermore delayed (politicians say Aug/Sept - I think and hope Oct/Nov/Dez)!
German media today reports about the surprise-cancellation of the opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport (originally planned for 2007, then Nov 2011, then June 3 2012) - supposedly due to problems with some fire security systems:

That is very good news for passengers: it means some more months of easy travelling from the worlds best airport, which is Berlin Tegel (TXL), where you only need 15 minutes by cab from the city center, and where you only have 15 meters from the taxi drop to your individual check in, and than another 15 meters to your individual gate. The longer travellers can use this really user-friendly, fantastic architectural layout, the better!
The only problem is the cancellation of Lufhansas A380 flight from/to FRA, which I can easily get over...
