Micha Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi my english friends My dad and I want to visit Duxford in this year's summer. Our closes airports are SXF (Berlin-Schönefeld) and TXL (Berlin-Tegel) - from June just BER (Berlin-Brandenburg International) at Schönefeld. My questions are, which airport shall we fly to and if the airport is further away from the museum, what's the best way to reach the museum? And does anyone know a hotel nearby or in Duxford? Thanks, guys =) greetings from Berlin! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary West Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Stansted airport is 20 minutes drive from Duxford and on the same M11 Motorway. Id try and use Air Berlin if they are still doing that route - cheap and a great service. Sorry no ideas on Hotels, but Google shoule help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speckled Jim Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sure Standstead has a travel lodge... or something of that ilk... fairly miserable, cheap and great for plane spotters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 We stayed at Duxford Lodge, 5 minutes away from the museum, we stayed on a Bed and Breakfast basis and the breakfast was great, to save money we ate dinner at a pub just around the corner from the hotel. http://www.duxfordlodgehotel.co.uk/findus.htm Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Stansted is so close to Duxford that a few years ago I had a stopover in stansted (ok a long one..must have been 8 hours) and decided to rent a car, drive to duxford, visit the museum and drive back. Yes the car costed a few £, but it was totally worth it !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripehound Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Stansted is so close to Duxford that the leader of the Red Arrows said 'Hello Stanstead' over the radio during a display at the latter a few years back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcn Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'd say the Holiday Inn link was your best bet. As has said its on the rail link from Stansted and its close enough to walk to the museum from there and they've just done the place up. If I was coming i'd hire a car, pick a weekend where both Duxford and Shuttleworth have displays and do both. They are only 45 minutes drive max apart.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Micha, Let me know whan you plan to visit. I live about 20 mins away from Duxford and if convinient would be glad to meet up with you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) cool =) when is one of these airshows? I want to book the flight for 2 days before and the return flight one day after. Is it also in May? Because from June on we have just one airport here in Berlin (TXL is getting closed then) and they haven't started their summer flight schedule therefore yet Edited February 20, 2012 by Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
