Traveller Comments....

"In these districts there are dozens of clubs and bars which go all night (don't even get going until 3 AM!) and you can easily get back to Tegel for a morning flight because public transportation starts early." (billp)

"The security personnel are OK and will let you stay overnight but they take your passport for the privilege." (Mick McGrenaghan)

Terminal D. photo source: Allen S. and Ben S.

At first let me say this was my first 'sleeping in an airport' experience. But I really expected for me to get some sleep, because Im falling asleep easily when Im tired. But I didnt get a second of sleep ! To say: It was my responsibility.

so:
Inoffically it is allowed to sleep in the airport, if you have to, but still you only may stay in terminal D. No one said anything to me, but asked me to stay in terminal D at least between midnight and four a clock in the morning. thats the time the first flights go on and it's a bread shop which opens at that time (4h) too (delicious breakfast!). But you can sleep till 6 if you wish to.

There were 16 small metall chairs (for about regulary 20 airport-sleepers, but they aren't comfortable anyway.. (not for sleeping though).
It's heated there, but after two or three hours of lying aroung, it got cold for me.
The lights dont go off and are very highlighted.
The Floor is hard but more or less clean.
The toilet was big and clean enough for having a little cat wash in the morning.

So at least bring following things for sleeping at airport Berlin Tegel and you can get good rest:

eye mask
water to drink
something to lie at (i.e. these thin rubber mats for camping would help)
some kind of blanket (or something you can use as)
Pillow (or something you can use as)
