I'd arrived at airport 3 hours before the departure as of some busy traffic cause the summer. However, I passed the whole check in 20 minutes.
As of my high status in Star Alliance, I could use the business class desk:

Turkish Airlines makes their check in process on the landing floor along with Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines. Then you have to go to the main departure floor:

The way to the duty-free:

There is a big departure screen in the duty-free area:

I didn't buy anything at the duty-free. Instead of that, I did some spotting before the dark. There wasn't a lot of traffic in those hours.
