FACILITIES

Parking
 
The Exeter Airport parking facilities consist of four parking areas that come with different benefits and different rates. The first Exeter Airport parking area is designated for quick stop-offs and pick-ups, enabling passengers a hassle-free arrival at the main terminal building. The second Exeter Airport parking facility is reserved for longer stays of days to week, which it offers at a premium rates. The third and fourth Exeter Airport parking facilities offer short and long term parking respectively at standard rates. Exeter Airport parking has designated bays reserved for Disabled passengers, which can be found immediately outside the terminal building.
 
Entertainment
 
Owing to the disparity between check-in and departure times, passengers often face a wait of at least an hour before they can begin the boarding process. Exeter International Airport offers an incredible array of restaurants and bars at which people can while away this time prior to departure. For the short waits (and caffeine fixes), there are a great selection of coffee shops in the terminal building that come complete with wireless Internet (such as Café Ritazza).

For the hungry, there are many restaurants where breakfast, lunch and supper can be bought for both the bargain and luxury passengers (Village Grill, Upper Crust Baguettes, Tastte! Sandwiches, the Airview Bar).
 
Internal Transport
 
Airports are large and sprawling places and as a result, it is important for passengers to know what kind of internal transport and related facilities are offered by the airport organisation to get them from A to B. First and foremost, the Exeter Airport parking facilities are regularly patrolled by shuttle buses that transport passengers to and from the parking area and terminal building.

Once inside the terminal building, passengers should find that making their way around on foot is nothing but easy. For disabled passengers, there is comprehensive assistance and support readily available. For airbuses parked at a fair distance from the airport gates, there are shuttles available.
 
Departure Lounges
 
After the Exeter Airport parking facilities, the check-in counters and Duty-Free store, the premium Exeter airport lounges are the best place to kill the hours prior to departure. Exeter airport features two lounge areas:
 
•    Air-side Departure lounge
•    Air-side Executive lounge
 
Together, these areas of calm cater for passengers of all ages and all needs. There is wireless Internet as well as phoning and faxing facilities; baby-changing rooms and restrooms; hot, cold and alcoholic beverages available as well as snacks for those pre-flight hunger pangs. There is also ample literature (magazines, newspapers and journals) available for one’s reading pleasure.
