That sort of artsy fashion, plus the underground music scene, plus 170 museums and a host of renovated monuments have all helped fuel a surge in tourism. The fact that discount airlines like easyJet have made Schönefeld Airport, in the former communist East, their German hub has also given the city a boost. The number of visitors from abroad is up 2.5 times since 2003. Just as dramatic is the influx of foreigners moving to Berlin to live - they now make up almost 1 in 7 of its 3.5 million inhabitants.

The amenities kit rivaled a department-store cosmetics counter and contained not the usual pair of amorphous tube socks, but ones with heels. From one of my four windows, Maserati champagne cocktail in hand, I spotted an easyJet plane, its 34 rows brimming with my people: coach folk. But today I had traded my peanuts for canapés. All 48 seats on this 757 built for 220 passengers were front-of-the-bus as Flight 3 flew from London's close-in Stansted to New York City's J.F.K...
