🏢 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.

🏢 Terminal Information
Leipzig–Altenburg Airport (AOC) is a regional airfield located in Nobitz, primarily serving general and corporate aviation. Since the cessation of scheduled commercial flights (historically by Ryanair), the terminal facilities are quiet but functional for private pilots. A key attraction on the airport grounds is the 'Flugwelt Altenburg Nobitz' aviation museum, which displays a collection of historic aircraft including a MiG-21 and a Transall C-160. The museum also features a small café, making it a worthwhile stop for aviation enthusiasts.
