Hamburg airport has been dogged by German airport security strikes check before you leave for the airport
Flights from Hamburg hit by Berlin airport strike
3 June, 2018 Early this morning Hamburg Airport had a huge power failure. Air traffic control not effected, but baggage handling is.
Update:-Tuesday 14 March 2017 Yesterday 460 departures got chopped at Berlin Tegel Airport, Schoenefeld 143. Union behind strike action ver.di likely not to announce future strikes in advance blaming strike-breakers from yesterday. Ryanair had brought in own ground workers. Union did however state no further strikes before the end of the weekend.
This leaves everyone wondering about travel on Monday the 20th.
Update:-13 March 2017 Baggage handlers back on strike today in Berlin airport, 25 hour strike. Monday 4am till 5am Tuesday. Union and management a mile apart on any agreement soon. As usual you know what to do. No luggage, get to airport early, call airport to see if you are leaving, although this maybe unreliable.

23 March 2014 Frankfurt airport workers to strike this Thursday, March 27th. Expect severe delays. Can you change your flight?
and
Lufthansa Germanwings Pilot Strike
Lufthansa strike page
Update:-23 March 2014 As expected Lufthansa pilots vote for strike action after two years of negotiations. Lufthansa pilots promise to give 48 hours notice of strike action. Shocking yes, but they don't have to. Make sure you have a plan B. In the past it's been hard to find a hotel room or car rental and not just in Germany. Make sure you have a German visa so you can leave international arrivals for a hotel, rather than sleep on a cot in no man's land. Perhaps book a hotel at both ends of your trip and cancel on the day. We will be updating as the news comes.
Expect Swiss Air, Air France, EasyJet, Tuifly, Air Berlin and British Airways to put on extra planes to catch windfall of new passengers. German railways Deutsche Bahn will also put on extra rail cars if given enough warning.
