Thanks for your help. Both East Midlands and Luton are options I'd considered, the flights from EMA are just at funny times and Luton would be a 90 minute drive. Guess you can't have everything

I think I may speak to clientco and find out if they could be flexible on home working 1 day a week.

BHX would be the obvious choice but there doesn't appear to be any direct flights.

How far is LTN from you. Sleasyjet fly Luton to Berlin.

I did a quick search and it comes back at £108 flying out on 3rd and returning on the 8th Jan.

My dad used to go to Berlin every night drop of a load and be back in Blighty for breakfast.

Plenty still do that, especially around the Stuttgarter Platz.

you dont say where your flying from other than its approx 100+miles to heathrow, where are your nearest airports and what is it you'd like to know?

air berlin has great hostesses if that's any help
german wings has a tasty BLT sandwich with semi-passable bacon
lufthansa gives you a crappy sandwich but you mainly park connected to the terminal so saves 15 mins of the bus tour around the airport

That's a long way to go for a dump (or indeed, a pot noodle).

With a bowl of spaghetti on his lap?

Commuting to Berlin from Uk

Anyone had to do it? Any advice?

Looking at the airport schedules it's looking pretty dismal. Either leaving on a Sunday afternoon or driving 100+ miles to Heathrow first

Cheers,
