I will be flying into Berlin and I’ve noticed there are two arrival airports: Which Berlin airport offers the best rail public transportation?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Both Berlin airports are well connected by public transport.
SXF by train and bus.
TXL by four bus lines but inner city limits.
Info about using Berlin public transport on arrival and for departure.

In most cases, you will simply not have a choice (or, if you do have a choice, the difference between the two airports is likely to be less relevant than differences in flight times, prices, etc.).

Yes, choose whichever one works best with other factors (cost, arrival time, etc). Unlike in some cities, there isn't enough of a difference to make favoring one over the other worthwhile.

If you like being where history happened, choose TXL, which was opened during the Berlin Airlift to provide additional capacity for delivering supplies to West Berlin. Of course, the current commercial terminal was not a part of that operation, but I feel like I'm on hallowed ground when I'm at TXL.
