The aircraft are equipped with 100 leather seats with a 36″ seat pitch.

You guys don’t know how lucky you are being so close in flying distance to all these wonderful countries.

Tempelholf is the ex Luftwaffe base. Tegel was the West German airport. I’ve flown out of it myself and don’t rate it very highly at all. Horrible small place really.
There are plans to turn Schonefield into a new major international hub and to close Tempelholf and Tegel. I hope to see this go ahead.
I used to fly to Berlin and then drive down or take the train to Dresden, but I’ve come to loath Tegel so much that I now pay the extra £60 and fly to Dresden via Frankfurt.
Dresden is a great airport with a wonderful new terminal, I’m flying there in a few weeks and will post some photos.

It seems to be a daily tussle between Glasgow and Prestwick for business at the moment. Is Berlin Tegel a Luftwaffe base ?
I see Easyjet are in negotiations with the RAF about using Leuchars in Fife as their next operational base.
