Berlin - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
Our home city is Fairfax, VA. Getting from Berlin to the WMA is harder and more expensive than you think. Recently (United) start running direct flights to the WMA (Dulles), but it's only seasonal and it's not a contract carrier. In our experience the Berlin airport, while nice and new, is not what you'd expect for a major European capital in terms of offerings and flights, perhaps in material part because Lufthansa continues to exert so much pressure in favor of Frankfurt as Germany's primary airport. - Aug 2023
