Terrible airport. Make sure you eat and shop before you get here because there is a very poor selection of shops and restaurants. Airport Staff are all operating in slow motion. Slow check in, painfully slow Security which is hugely inefficient. Only one lane open and this one lane can accommodate 4people loading trays at once but they only allow 2 people at a time, slowing everything to a crawl. Guy at passport check also took a full two minutes of me standing there to open my passport and look at it. Why?

In the last 2 weeks I’ve flown from 3 other airports; Heathrow T5, Bristol and Canary Islands. Hannover is the worst! The airport is setup to generate CASH. None of the other 3 had 100ml limit, need to BUY (€1.50) a ZIP LOCK BAG!!! Did not allow water in and had no water fountain (is that even legal?). The scanners etc were the same as the other airports. They just want you to buy their drinks and ziplock bags. Fortunately we flew BA so they let us check our bags with liquids in. AVOID THIS AIRPORT!

This airport is a big disappointment for me, especially when it comes to security staff. I have never experienced anything like this before. Absolute disrespect, unfriendly and rude attitude. I travel a lot and often, and I use a solid transparent plastic zippered bag for my cosmetics. For many years, it has been accepted at many airports around the world. Except at Hanover Airport, where they told me that my bag did not meet the standards (it was too big) and that they would either confiscate my cosmetics or I would have to buy a new bag from a vending machine for €1.50!!!! However, you can only pay with coins. Since I didn't have any coins, they confiscated my quite expensive cosmetics (including toothpaste) in a very harsh way. I think security management should teach their employees to behave a little more politely. I will try to avoid this airport in the future, one experience was enough.

Hannover, Germany Airport Nice airport Normally seems not too crowded 😔 For KLM, Take Entry via Terminal A

I recently traveled through Hannover Airport (HAJ) in Germany, and it was a surprisingly smooth experience. From the moment I arrived, everything felt well-organized and easy to navigate. The clear signs and logical layout made it simple to find my way around, even though it was my first time there. The staff were great—really friendly and helpful. At check-in, security, and even the cafes, everyone I interacted with seemed genuinely happy to assist, which made a big difference in my overall experience. Speaking of cafes, the food options were pretty impressive. There are plenty of places to grab a bite or a drink, ranging from quick snacks to sit-down meals. The variety was nice, and everything I tried was tasty and fresh. One thing that stood out to me was the comfort level in the terminal. There were lots of comfortable seating areas, and I appreciated the many charging stations available. It made waiting for my flight a lot more pleasant. Plus, the airport lounges looked really inviting for anyone needing a quieter spot to work or relax. Getting to and from the airport was hassle-free, thanks to the efficient public transportation options and the close proximity to Hannover’s city center. Whether you’re catching a taxi, renting a car, or hopping on a train, it’s all very convenient. Overall, Hannover Airport made my travel experience easy and enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re flying in or out of Germany. It’s efficient, clean, and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a good trip.
