So we are back at HAM airport two days later on a Sunday late afternoon.Curbside in front of Terminal 1 departures. As you can see the scene hasn't change much from arrival on Friday. Terminal 2 at HAM is closed (this is where LH has their normal check-in) and all remaining operation go through Terminal 1. Both Terminals are connected to each other and after check-in passenger proceed to a central security checkpoint that links both terminals.


Check-in hall at Terminal 1 - where is LH?


Way in the back...


So don't be mistaken. There was a single guy doing check-in. Guess the signage for Business/First/*G was purely decorative. Even had to wait a minute to drop of my bag as there was a guy checking in for Zurich in front of me. LH guy requested to see a Swiss passport (in this case a German one with a residence permit). While domestic travel is easy - crossing a border in Europe definitely is not.

After baggage drop it was time to head to security.


Few people in line (all from my flight). Security staff again made sure people were placing items in the bin in order to avoid manual secondary checks. Worked quite well here. After clearing security there it was again: the void called airside.


Interestingly there was a small Mövenpick Marché next to my gate an its was open to my surprise. Apart from packed sandwiches and bottled drinks you could even get a beer from tap.

Plane was waiting outside and after about 10min boarding was called (this time by boarding groups).
