Berlin Tegel International Airport "Otto Lilienthal" is the primary commercial airport for Berlin. Air Berlin is the dominant carrier with significant operations from the airport, followed by Lufthansa. The vast majority of scheduled flights are to points within Europe. Currently Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines fly to New York City, and Air Berlin provides service to Miami, Punta Cana, and Varadero. Hainan Airlines offers long-haul service to Beijing a few times a week and Air Berlin flies to Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand. The airport has two parallel runways, 08L/26R and 08R/26L. Approximately seventy percent of operations use 26L & 26R when the prevailing winds are from the west. 08L & 08R are most frequently used in clear weather when prevailing winds are from the east.

==Official Spotting Locations==

===Observation Deck===

The observation deck can be found on top of the Terminal Building. It goes completely around the Building, so you can watch perfectly the whole apron. The deck is open from 10AM to 6PM from April to September, and from 10AM to 4PM at other times of year, but may be closed when the weather is poor. The entrance fee is 2€.

The observation deck offers good views of the runways and excellent departure shots from all runways are possible. Lighting is generally good because the runways are located to the north of the observation deck, but backlighting may occur in summer in the late afternoon.

===Meteorstrasse===

Northwest of Kurt Schumacher Platz, on the Meteorstrasse, near the intersection with Uranusweg, well-trodden paths lead up a small embankment overlooking Berlin's Ring Road and most of the airfield.
