finally Lufthansa attitude towards Berlin resulted in a huge expansion by EasyJet ( Second biggest hub after LGW) and Ryanair/laudamotion.

Finally the airport is fast. You walk 100 meters from the check-in counter to the plane and 50 meters from the plane to immigration and luggage carousel.

Fast, but there is nothing to do. And therein lies that dilemma, or going really late to these "fast" airports and presuming they will still be fast or you will miss your flight, or going earlier and sitting around having nothing to do.
