Terminal Information – Departing

This is only a guideline. Always check your boarding pass for up-to-date terminal information.

From City: This small and central airport only has one terminal. The departure lounge is optimised for business travellers with two coffee shops, free Wi-Fi, and a 'silent airport' policy. Shops include Aelia Duty Free and Links of London. There's also a restaurant, a bar and a sandwich shop.

From Gatwick: Aer Lingus depart from the South Terminal while easyJet fly from the North Terminal. If you're flying to the Isle of Man and arriving at the airport by train you will need to take the free inter-terminal shuttle to the North Terminal. Both terminals at Stansted Airport boast a huge range of shops and places to eat. As a rule of thumb you'll find eateries on the upper level and stores on the ground floor.

From Heathrow: Aer Lingus fly from Terminal 2 and British Airways fly from Terminal 5.  Double-check your departure terminal before heading to the airport as Heathrow has three stations (one for T5, one for T4, and one for T1, 2 & 3). Terminal 2 (also known as the Queen's Terminal) was recently refurbished and is full of luxurious shops and eateries. Terminal 5 is also known for its luxurious atmosphere. Don't miss out on Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food restaurant.

From Stansted: Stansted Airport only has one terminal. There's a good range of shops and places to eat all in the central concourse. With a James Martin restaurant and a Halo Fizz Bar it's easy to enjoy a bit of pre-flight luxury. Other places to eat include Itsu, Giraffe and Pret a Manger.
