Gate-side polo shirts at Terminal 1
Lacoste sits airside in Terminal 1 at BER, handy if you’re early for a Eurowings or Lufthansa departure and want branded basics without trekking landside. It’s a standard mono-brand boutique: polos, logo hoodies, trainers, caps and travel-ready outerwear, all in the current seasonal color runs. Stock skews classic menswear, with a smaller but present women’s section on the side wall. Think airport pricing, not outlet; expect a polo to run roughly what you’d pay in a central Berlin mall.
The shop usually keeps the same hours as the main Terminal 1 airside stores, opening from early morning bank around 06:00 through late evening departures. That makes it one of the few places still open when the 20:00–22:00 bank to FRA, MUC and other hubs is boarding. Staff handle quick size swaps and VAT-form questions in English and German, so you can be in and out in under 10 minutes if you know your size.
Stock leans hard on the crocodile logo: classic piqué polos, zip-up sweatshirts, tennis-style sneakers and soft-shell jackets that work for a 2–3 hour intra-Europe leg. Accessories run to caps, small leather goods and the occasional cabin-size duffel around the 150–200 € mark. If you’re chasing outlet-level deals, this isn’t it; promo racks, when they appear, are usually limited to a few past-season colors or odd sizes.
One practical tip: check your boarding pass before you start trying things on. Once you’re committed to a non-Schengen gate at BER’s Terminal 1, walking back to shop more eats 10–15 minutes you might not have during tight evening connections.
