๐ข Terminal Information
Hamburg Airport operates two terminals (T1 and T2) functioning as a single integrated complex connected airside. T1 handles most international traffic including major carriers, while T2 primarily serves low-cost and charter flights. The terminals share a common departures level with seamless passenger flow between sections. Approximately 17 million passengers annually pass through the airport's 34 gates. The compact design ensures efficient connections with walking times: check-in to gates 5-12 minutes, maximum gate-to-gate transfers 15 minutes. Security processing typically takes 10-20 minutes, with shorter lines at T2. Schengen and Non-Schengen areas are clearly separated post-security. Immigration for non-EU passengers adds 10-25 minutes depending on traffic. The airport features modern amenities including duty-free shopping, restaurants, cafes, and airline lounges. Ground transportation is excellent with S-Bahn S1 providing direct connections to Hamburg city center in 25 minutes. The airport's strategic location in northern Germany makes it a convenient hub for Scandinavia and domestic German connections.

๐ข Terminal Information
Wangerooge Airport (AGE) in Germany functions as a very small, regional airport, primarily serving the island of Wangerooge in the North Sea. It caters to general aviation, private aircraft, and local air services, with flights often depending on tides and weather conditions. Crucially, the airport *does not host scheduled commercial airlines*, meaning all air travel operates on a non-scheduled basis. Its terminal facilities are extremely rudimentary, typically consisting of a single, basic building or a simple shelter that provides minimal amenities for passenger processing. The layout is minimalist, offering direct access from a small landing strip to a basic waiting area. There are no complex multi-terminal configurations or extensive ground facilities; all operations are conducted within this singular, minimalist setup. Walking times are negligible, typically mere seconds from arrival to aircraft, emphasizing its functional role in providing essential island access.\n\nSecurity procedures at AGE are minimal, consistent with its classification as a small, regional airfield not serving scheduled commercial traffic. Formal security checkpoints with advanced screening equipment are not present. Security is typically a matter of visual checks, adherence to local aviation safety protocols, and direct coordination with pilots or local operators. There are no significant wait times for any checks. As a domestic airfield, there are no immigration or customs facilities on site; these functions would be handled at larger, designated international entry points if applicable. Passengers should expect a highly informal and direct process, reflecting the very low volume of air traffic and the unique operational environment of an island airport.\n\nAmenities at Wangerooge Airport are exceptionally sparse. Passengers should not expect any airline lounges, dedicated dining facilities, or retail shops. Any available provisions would be extremely limited, possibly from a very basic local vendor on the island, and travelers are strongly advised to bring all necessary supplies, including food, water, and personal items. Seating in the waiting area is basic and often outdoors, and very limited. Accessibility features are rudimentary, primarily consisting of ground-level access. Travelers requiring assistance must coordinate thoroughly in advance with their air operator or local contacts. Family facilities, such as children's play areas or dedicated nursing rooms, are entirely absent. The airport's primary purpose is essential island connectivity, not passenger comfort or convenience.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow adequate time for connections. Check with airline for specific requirements.
