Anecdotal, but I was flying out of a German airport last week. Luggage, peculiarly, was checked at the gate, there was no separate area for checking hold luggage.
The gate was announced about an hour before the gate closure, and by the time we'd got to the gate (~5 minutes) we were informed that the bag drop was closed. We had a brief argument, and they reluctantly took the bags. Insane.
- matt4077 8y agoBerlin Tegel? That airport has no centralized check-ins anywhere. I have no idea how you would spend any amount there without just going to the gate indicated on the screens everywhere. Most people who don’t know it don’t even notice the difference. They just see it saying “A21” and follow he signs to A21. It’s actually a rather well-liked concept because check in, passport control, and security only serve that one flight at a time. It’s faster, and you will never miss your flight because of people in front of you in a queue booked on a later flight. Alas, it requires more personnel, and the airport will close soonish.
- fredley 8y agoI agree it's a different but good design, however the issue was our flights weren't even on the board, and when they were bag drop was already closed!
- odiroot 8y agoTegel is literally my most favourite airport in the world and one of the few reasons I still bear living in this city.
