I am trying to decide between two flights from Milan to Berlin.

The first is with AirBerlin. It leaves Bergamo at 1pm and lands in Tegel.

The second is EasyJet, it leaves Malpensa at 3.30pm and lands in Schonefeld.

Price is virtually the same.

From what I can tell, Bergamo is a good 1 hr 45 mins out of Milan, and as that flight leaves at 1pm it would not leave me much time that morning to see more of the city before leaving (I am only there for one night).

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get into central Berlin from Schonefeld? I can't find any info on it. Also is this possible by train?

Also has anyone flown with either airline and have a recommendation?

Cheers!

There's information on Schoenefeld official site:

The train takes about half an hour to get to Zoo Garten.

It's very easy to get into central Berlin from Schoenfeld. You either walk for a few minutes from the small airport to the train station, or take a free shuttle bus. The train then takes you to the main central stops in Berlin (the ones I recall are Ostbahnhof, Alexanderplatz, Friedrichstrasse, and Zoo).

Thanks for the advice and links - I will go with Easyjet! Now I just have to wait (impatiently of course) for them to release their flights for April... They have released some but not for this particular route so I just have to pray that they do have that flight on the day I need it (based on times for March).
