What’s more, there is a bureau de change area for those who need to change over money at the last minute. Car rental services are also provided at the airport for people looking to explore the local area by road.

There isn't much more than the duty-free shop once you are past security so travellers are often told to stay in the main terminal until nearer boarding time.
