People who grew up in Berlin tend to have become enamored a bit with Tegel. I moved to Berlin later and always hated Tegel (though never as much as I've hated Schönefeld which was a kafkaesque nightmare).
It's true that Tegel was conveniently located and that boarding could be quite fast in terminal A. But if your flight got delayed after you were through security you would be stuck in a crammed space and your only opportunities for food would be overpriced Pretzels. And the whole thing was just outrageously ugly.
- m_fayer 4y agoYeah terminal A was quick and easy if everything went perfectly. If security ever got backed up, as happened often with flights to the US, you'd have long lines spilling into the main circular hall. More amusingly, the lack of table space on which to unpack your computer/toiletries/etc resulted in people hurriedly extracting possessions in an awkward crouch and then clutching the unwieldy bundles to their chest while waiting their turn. Quite a spectacle.
