- Who it suits
- Early flights and late arrivals from Terminals 1, 2 and 3, and anyone who wants no outdoor walk with luggage.
- Why we would choose it
- Two covered pedestrian skybridges join it to the terminals, so there is nothing to book and no weather to plan around.
- The compromise
- It is usually the most expensive airport hotel here, and it does not link to Terminal 4.
- Worth paying more?
- For a flight before 07:00, usually yes: you buy a later alarm and a morning with no moving parts.
Getting to your terminal
