Many thanks to any helpful, knowledgable souls...
In June I left the hotel around 4:30 and the streets were deserted. First class checkin was nobody (I was the only one in F on plane). There was a line of maybe three people at passport control. I don't remember a secondary security check. If there was one, it was pretty cursory. All in all, a very quick process. The lounge was fine. Comfortable chairs, which is a considerable improvement over the general waiting area.
