AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
If connecting internationally to domestic, budget extra time as you'll clear UK immigration and may need to reclaim and recheck luggage.
Domestic-to-domestic connections within the terminal are quick since there's no need to pass through immigration or customs.
Loganair and easyJet passengers should check in via self-service kiosks quickly, as ground staff support for missed connections can be limited outside peak hours.
Signage is clear and distances are short, but the single security checkpoint can back up during the busy 6-9am and 5-8pm banks.
There is no landside/airside train or shuttle, so all transfers are a walk of a few minutes at most.
