bentoTips:
  - label: Transport
    title: Take tram 6 — not Flughafen-Süd
    detail: >-
      Official airport guidance: from Bremen Hbf ride BSAG Straßenbahn Linie 6
      toward Flughafen and alight at “Flughafen” (curb by Terminal 1 check-in),
      not the end stop Flughafen-Süd. Typical ride ~15–17 minutes; daytime
      weekday frequency is high (commonly ~6–10 min). VBN Preisstufe I Bremen
      (zones 100/101) EinzelTicket is €3.40 adult / €1.70 child from 1 Jan 2026
      (BSAG/VBN). Deutschlandticket covers the tram. Taxi Hbf ↔ airport is
      published by the airport at about €18 and ~15 minutes by road.
    summary: Tram 6 to “Flughafen” in ~15–17 min; VBN EinzelTicket €3.40.

  - label: Security
    title: Pack the classic 100 ml bag
    detail: >-
      Central security after check-in serves all departures (Terminal 1 main
      hall, then split to A and B gates). Standard EU liquids still apply: ≤100
      ml containers in one transparent 1 L bag, electronics out. Independent
      mid-2026 German media round-ups list Bremen among airports without a CT
      liquids waiver — do not assume FRA/BER/MUC-style rules. Airport guidance:
      be in the terminal at least 2.5 hours before departure; with a boarding
      pass and no bag drop, be at security no later than 60 minutes before
      boarding start.
    summary: No published CT liquids waiver — plan the old unpack ritual.

# Bremen Airport Hans Koschnick (BRE)
Bremen, Germany · Europe
Tram-to-curb city access and a solid €30 Priority Pass lounge make BRE unusually easy for a regional German airport, tempered by classic 100 ml security, a leisure-heavy board, and a lounge that shuts at 21:00.
## Airportist Score

**7.6 / 10**
- Comfort: 7.5
- Navigation: 8.2
- Food: 7.2

## Best for

- Tram 6 from Bremen Hbf in ~15–17 minutes (€3.40)
- Priority Pass THE LOUNGE until 21:00 (€30 walk-in)
