When I returned to the Hauptbahnhof after collecting my luggage from the hotel the departure board said that there is no Airport Express this week because of engineering works. So I will have to travel to the airport the slow way, using the S-bahn: taking the S5 to Ostkreutz then the S9 to Schönefeld. I arrived at about the same time as planned, but it was as well that I'd been at the Hauptbahnhof in good time.
Fairly quickly through security, etc. then the interminable wait for the gate. We took off on time at 16:55 and touched down at 17:32. I reached the exit by 17:50 and could spend 40 minutes lingering over a coffee in Costa before going outside to wait for my booked National Express coach. Which was 30 minutes late.
