There are currently two terminals, with one additional passenger terminal close to completion. Terminal 1, which handles most of the longer-distance international flights, is connected by a tunnel with moving walkways to Terminal 2, which handles most domestic and regional flights. The newest terminal, Terminal 3, is being built to handle the new Airbus A380s.
Banks, ATMs and currency exchanges are found in both terminals; and in addition, there is a post office, a range of bars, cafes and restaurants – and a food court as well. Duty-free shopping options are plentiful. Health club and fitness facilities are also featured, as are a swimming pool and spa.
There’s a 24-hour welcome desk in the Terminal 1 arrivals area; and on the departures level there are two additional information booths - located opposite the food court, and opposite gate 19.

Transportation: buses, taxis and limousines link the airport with the city centre, which is just a few miles away. Buses leave every 10 minutes from 06:00 to 22:00, from the bus stations opposite both terminals 1 and 2. Pre-paid taxi service is also available to the city around the clock from the taxi stand outside the arrivals area.
Parking: the airport has two parking facilities: Car Park A and Car Park B. Short-term parking is available in Car Park A; and longer-term requirements are catered for in Car Park B. Both facilities provide reserved spaces for disabled drivers. Parking is paid at the time you leave the car park, either in cash or by credit card; and pre-paid season passes are available.
If you’re planning on parking for longer than one day, the use of Car Park B is recommended, as rates are considerably cheaper. Although Car Park B is located farther away from the terminals, there is an airport shuttle service provided that operates frequently.
