If you're really hungry, The Sandpiper and Frankie & Benny's both offer more substantial meals. Both restaurants have bars, which is perfect if you need a small pre-flight tipple. If you're travelling with children you can let them run off some energy in the soft play area. Half an hour of free Wi-Fi is available for every visitor to the airport, so you can keep on top of emails and social media updates.

Practical Information

You don't need a passport to fly within the United Kingdom. Photographic identification is required for security reasons. You'll be asked to show this at the boarding gate. Flybe have a full list of acceptable ID types on their website. As a rule of thumb, official ID cards with a photograph on them are accepted: for example a driving license, NUS card or a recently expired passport. For domestic flights, try to arrive at least one hour before departure.
