For shorter layovers, stay airside and explore the airport s gardens, rest areas, play zones, and art installations, or relax in a transit hotel.

You will find shower facilities, themed zones, and a wide choice of dining options in each terminal, making it easy to refresh and enjoy a meal between flights. Wayfinding is clear, and transfer desks are available if you need assistance.

The terminal offers duty-free shopping, bookshops, and convenience stores, so you can stretch your legs and pick up travel essentials while keeping close to your gate. Information desks and clear signage help you navigate between security checkpoints and departure areas.
