First Class Lounge

It’s a quick journey from the platform to the terminal – lifts and escalators will whisk you to check-in desks in a matter of minutes. If you’re meeting someone, domestic arrivals are to the left as you enter the building, and international arrivals to the right. It’s also well worth buying your train tickets ahead, as ticket machines and counters at the become busy at peak times. With trains departing regularly you’re unlikely to need the waiting room, but you’ll find it on platform one.
