I mean, sort of. The A gates which all had the separate security for each gate worked great. You could rock up 25 mins before your BA flight and just cruise right onto the plane.
That stopped there though, did you ever fly from B or C? Tolerable enough if you're catching a commuter to Munich or something at 7am, but once it's filled with tourists it was appalling, far too small, far too crowded.
Living in the west of the city, I'm quite happy having the airport moved further away for noise reasons though :}
- odiroot 4y agoI flew a lot from there, because I lived 10 minutes away from the airport (by bus). I mostly flew from C (cheap EU flights), sometimes from A and D (Asia, UK). I don't recall ever flying from B. I agree that A gates was a sweet spot but even C was great. The airport optimised for getting you out of there ASAP, both for departures and arrivals. I usually managed to get from the plane to my living room within 30 minutes (just with a carry-on, naturally).
- bobthepanda 4y agoAt least my experience visiting Berlin, A was a bit of a nightmare to fly non-Schengen from. Totally disorganized since having only security in the little gate area was already a tight fit.
