Yes, Hamburg Airport (HAM) has indoor smoking areas airside, after security. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 share a single airside zone once you clear the checkpoint — the Lucky Strike smoking lounge between gates A17 and A18, plus smoking areas at gate A33 and gate C08. Landside, the Airport Plaza between terminals and the outdoor areas by the entrances offer open-air smoking space.
Hamburg Airport (HAM), officially Helmut Schmidt Airport, is northern Germany’s main aviation hub. The compact two-terminal layout makes it one of the more convenient German airports for smokers, with shared indoor smoking areas after security.
Inside Terminal (After Security)
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 share one airside smoking zone once you pass through security, so the same locations serve both terminals:
- Lucky Strike smoking lounge: between gates A17 and A18 — the main airside smoking lounge.
- Gate A33: a smoking area in the A-pier gate zone.
- Gate C08: a smoking area in the C-pier gate zone. Note that gate C08 is not wheelchair accessible.
Outside Terminals
Outdoor smoking areas are at the terminal entrance on Level 0 (arrivals) and Level 1 (departures). The Airport Plaza — the open-air walkway between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 — is a popular spot with seating and partial shelter from the weather.
