Airport Departure lounge redevelopment: what you need to know

Last updated: 2 February 2026

As our Departure Lounge redevelopment enters a significant new phase, there will be some temporary changes to your journey through the terminal:

  • after clearing Security there is a new temporary walkway leading to the Departure Lounge, where all current facilities remain available
  • there will be no impact on flights or check-in during this period, and all food, drink and retail outlets remain open
  • seating areas available in Departure Lounge with additional seating added after entering new temporary walkway
