Air Berlin flights usually leave from terminals A, B and C. They're all under the same roof, so you don't need to stress too much when you're heading to the airport. Most of the shops at Tegel Airport are located before security. Once you get through the checkpoint there are some duty free shops and stores selling last-minute essentials. Most of the restaurants are in the airport's public area too. The departure lounge has a few sandwich shops, perfect if you're in a hurry.
