Sleeping at the airport: Germany, Hamburg Airport

Sleeping at the airports is a good way to save money and time while traveling, but it can be very tiring if the airport is not suitable.

Our first airport to describe will be Hamburg.



Actually, I am writing this post while being at the airport. A guy just asked me to leave the comfortable couch that I found, because it is not allowed to sit there.

Well, this airport is very big and there are comfortable sits everywhere. But not couches with table and plugs. The floor upstairs, where McDonald's are, is closed after 21:30 so there is no way you can continue sitting there.



You need to go and find another place. The problem is that on the ground floor for some reason the plugs are not working. At least ten of them, that I tried.

Everything on the ground floor and the first floor is closed after 21:30, and some counters for check-in closed even earlier. The airport is empty and you can only see the staff that is cleaning.
And some people, like me, who are trying to sleep.

But the lights are never out so it is kind of hard to sleep with all these lights above you. It depends on how tired you are I guess... And nobody expects to find an airport without lights. That would be scary I think 😨

But it is 21:30! It is too early to sleep, too early not to be hungry and too early not to be thirsty. So, make sure, if you ever plan to sleep at Hamburg airport, that you go and sit on the under-the-ground-floor floor! There is a whole new world there!

You can eat, drink, charge your phone, sleep and nobody will ask you to move away because the area is about to close.
There are some positive things, however. The WIFI is free and fast and unlimited! Also, the temperature is very good, you are not freezing nor sweating. The bathroom is also very clean, which is something very satisfying for public toilets.

Of course, all the information is for Terminal 1, because I have no idea what was happening in Terminal 2. But, from my quick visit, I would assume that it is the same situation.




In conclusion, I must say that Germany has some very good airports to sleep at. I have visited Frankfurt, Berlin, and Nuremberg and all of them were very comfortable.
So, If you are traveling somewhere and you need to make a stop at another airport I would suggest you choose Germany.
