Called Air Berlin. Really nice guy on the phone. He said not to worry. Our first flight that is suppose to land at BER, would de sent to the same airport that our next transatlantic flight would then leave from if the airport isn't done. He said they are getting lots of calls about it. I guess they already had a trial run when they were suppose to open before and didn't open but had all kinds of planes scheduled to land there.

I recently relocated to Berlin (one week ago today!) and was disappointed to find that I came into Tegel.
I am really looking forward to the new airport, but will probably be gone before it opens!

Berlin Newspaper Tagesspiegel reports about a possible new date in spring 2014 - Berlin/Brandenburg politicians still see a date "late in 2013". But indeed March 17 2013 seems to be definitely cancelled.
What a shame!

TK only flies to TXL, so you should be fine. Hopefully those aren't seperate tickets with a short connection.
