TERMINAL CHECK. Immigration is quick at Berlin’s Schönefeld

Harshil Mehta is the Chief Executive Officer at DHFL, a housing finance company.

A travel enthusiast, Mehta talks about his favourite airport. 

My favourite airport: The Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (SXF), Germany 

What I like about it:  As an international traveller, the last thing anyone wants after those long flights is the prolonged wait at the immigration counters. What I really like about the airport is that you are welcomed by immigration officials just as you exit from the aircraft. This leads to an efficient and speedy immigration clearance. 

What could be improved:  The Berlin Airport is extremely functional, which is a delight for the traveler after a long flight. The only thing that the authorities could possibly transform is the aesthetics reflecting the contemporary world of today. 

Other airports I like: Apart from the Berlin Airport, I really like the Hong Kong International Airport and the Dubai International Airport 

Favourite in India:  Indira Gandhi International Airport, Terminal 3, New Delhi
