These times are given purely as a guideline. Contact your airline to be sure.

What facilities are there for small children?

In the toilet area there is a nursery with a changing-table and facilities for small children.

In the boarding lounges in Terminal 1 there are play areas for children where they can have fun whilst waiting to board. If you choose to do a little shopping whilst in the boarding lounges in Terminal 1, there are some small trolleys equipped with a child seat.

I travel within Europe a lot. Do I have the right to purchase duty-free products when I'm in the boarding lounge?

Although passengers leaving the European Union still benefit from Duty Free shopping, passengers on intra-European flights no longer can. Which is where Travel Value Shops step in. These shops grant reductions equivalent to VAT to passengers travelling within Europe. From champagne to perfume, via watches, jewellery and fifty or so alcohols and wines, all of life's pleasures are available at very advantageous prices.
