Sounds like it‘s designed for those who want to minimise their airport time ie regular business travellers?

One good thing about BER is the distributed security points. If you don’t like the look of the Q at one walk to the next until you find a quiet one.

Since 2018 I have been using Munich Airport's ePassport line to exit Immigration and Passport Control to the gate. The lane is at the extreme end of the hallway you enter to go through through to the transit area. The particular gate is for ePassport holders only from the EU but also Oz, NZ, Canada. You have to have 20/20 vsison to spot and resd the small signage hanging above that queue. cheers, William

It was just pointed out to me that there is also “Priority” entrance - possibly the same area. See photo in this article.

SYD+1 noticed it a couple of weeks ago leaving on QR (flying J but also OWE). One or both of those allow the BP to scan and open the smartgate to the otherwise empty security screen lane.

When we both flew out of BER in April (BA J to LON) we were told that there wasn’t a Priority lane. So apparently rolled out since then.

There was definitely a priority lane in May. (I was able to use it as *G flying LH J.)

Not sure if this is the same one, but it was in the middle of Terminal 1.

Yes. I believe the photo in the link is the Priority line *and* would appear to be the same place for new timed entry?

BER has two dedicated lanes for those who book in advance. It is free and can be used by anyone. You can book online on BER Runway (website). You select which airline and what time you want to go through. You can also book for your whole party - so if you are a family traveling together, you just make one reservation. After booking, you receive a QR code which you scan at the e-gate. Other airports offering this service include Miami, Seattle, Los Angeles, Newark, JFKT4, Orlando, Phoenix, Calgary + more . its called SEA Spotsaver, LAX reserve, Newark reserve, etc.
