Have some money for the drop off carpark as it can be very expensive in a short time period
- Early mornings trying to get a coffee amongst the holiday makers? Costa at gate 48 is empty
In car park for arrivals... If over 30 mins you will be charged £12!
Darren McDonaldJuly 28, 2012Be careful when purchasing fast lane security tickets ours didn't work after purchasing - until a helpful member of staff aided us
Make sure you buy an express security pass, security here is super slow.
The new Departures passenger security area has just opened and boy is there a queue. Going thru security has gone from a 2 to a 20 minute ordeal. Give yourself plenty of time
Instead of queing for the self service checkin machines by desks 65-69, use the ones by desks 1-5, they're usually empty!
Give yourself at least 30+ for security as the cues are crazy.!!
Lots of shops closed down! Not many options lately! :(
Make sure you have your toiletries in the clear plastic bag the right size...they charge for the same bags other airports give for free..wtf
Herman SconnOctober 27, 2012Don't expect any help from the staff, if you can find any. They claimed they couldn't contact the baggage area, even though security told me they can as it is there job!
Go through priority security for £3 and skip the queues!
OceanClub 7June 17, 2013It's worthwhile to spend 2 GBP for hi-speed Internet.......the free Internet is far too slow
Tom HartJuly 29, 2013Wetherspoons is a rip off and ask for what you don't want because you won't get what you ask for bro
Very poor signage. You'd need to go downstairs if arriving from the train to check-in, then go upstairs again to the departure lounge. Airport needs a redesign.
Save the expense and queue's by living abroad in the first place.
Emma KirkmanApril 11, 2011Flying out of gate 46 - 50 before 8 am? Don't follow the signs for costa coffee. NOT OPEN early in the morning.
