The machines could be better but all you need to remember is that most
of Berlin is in zones A and B. The new airport is in C.

30 minutes from the centre of the City.

It's a shame it doesn't show up here though:

Yes, well. The new airport has only opened in the last year or so.

It might have been one to file under "of course all the guidebooks are
always up to date"...

When we visited in summer 2012 it was overdue and not yet open.

.... if it were actually open yet. March 2014 projected, it seems, for a
partial opening of just 10 flights a day, full opening at least a year
later.
