    Very loud music after security check, not a good start for a quiet flight home. The airport is bigger than I expected. ' shame the whisky's are more expensive than back home in the Netherlands.

    As opposed to one of the tips left in here, my white cab driver was a pleasant individual. Do not avoid the white cabs

    Strange enough, no self check in kiosks for British Airways flights. Also no self-service luggage drop off.

    Remember to park your car at CarPark2. It's linked directly to the departure hall.

    If you're flying with EasyJet, avoid their cafe in their departure lounge if you want a quick bite. Service is slow and takes ages to serve for packaged food.

    User unfriendly, as with british airports in general. Worst feature is long distance walk from taxi drop-off to terminal. And without luggage carts.
