This time, starting on October 16, I traveled to Dresden, Germany’s historic city1. Flights to Dresden were full and unavailable, so I had to travel overland from Berlin and obtained a SIM at Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL).
I arrived at Terminal C on Air Berlin, which was due to cease operations in a few days after going bankrupt, but had to move to Terminal B to get a SIM. The shop to look for is CAPI. It is a popular store at German airports. You can similarly get one from CAPI at Munich Airport2. At Tegel Airport, it is open until 10 p.m.
CAPI sells Lebara SIMs for travelers. They include 3GB of data. I paid 24.95€. The shop handles activation, so after inserting the SIM and restarting the phone, I was able to connect.
Incidentally, the 5€ printed on the package indicates the included call credit, not the price, so please keep that in mind.
