Opening BER June 2/3 2012
 

Hi guys,

EDIT: As some of you may have read: BER won't be open on June 3rd. It was announced that the opening will be in spring 2013.
The Holiday Inn Schönefeld has already cancelled the BBQ and the Party. It is very likely that most of the people will cancel their journey.

Personally I only changed my Hotel to http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/de/...ail/directions . If there are some poeple who are interested in meeting, let me know! monty.ger at gmail com

EDIT 31 MAY 2012: To the few people who might be in Berlin this weekend: On Saturday (2 Jun 12) we will meet at the entrance of the "Park Inn by Radisson" Berlin Alexanderplatz at 7pm. It is on the group to decide what to do. http://goo.gl/maps/8CGp





the new BER Airport will be opened in the morning of June 3rd 2012 and TXL/SXF will cease their operations in the evening of June 2nd.

On VFT there are plenty of people who will meet in Berlin and have a look at the new Airport. The HI near SXF seems to be kind of a "headquarter".

At the moment, it looks like there will be no fixed program. The intention is a casual weekend and experience of the new airport. (which is a pretty rare event...)

If anyone has a nice idea of something that fits in the short time frame (Sat 2 Jun to Sun 3 Jun), feel free to contribute. :)
As you can see on the list the arrival and departure is spread over the complete day.

Just a few driving minutes from BER & complementary shuttle service by the hotel is provided. Be aware that this hotel is nearly in the middle of nowhere. As you can see http://g.co/maps/uxj7x a ride to the City is about 20km and the Autobahn 113 will be closed for the transport of the airport stuff during the night.

Of course Berlin offers a lot of alternatives which are likely to be nicer and in the center of the city. All the inner city hotels are connected to BER by public transportation which is not to bad.

If there are open questions or objections please let us know! :)

I'm booked on LH 200 on June 2nd and on LH 171 back to FRA on June 3rd, of course hoping for the equipment change to A380 for that flight...

Overnight stay is at the "Schönefeld" HI... ;-)

Looking forward to see you there!

It is getting bigger than I expected. We are already 55 people from VFT und FT.

Most people are flying in 02 Jun and leave 03 Jun. On of the first planes will be a LH A380 at 6 o'clock in the morning.

The most popular hotels are the Holiday Inn Airport (18) and the Intercontinental (6).

Sounds like a fun weekend. :)

How did you manage a seat on LH171? It's showing J0Y0 at the moment for revenue bookings (and it seems no seats have been released to partners for awards).

confirm....:)
