The food court provides a full-range of refreshment facilities, with Asian, French and US cuisine on offer. There is an endless variety of services including restaurants, bars and shops throughout the airport.

Duty Free shops, a golf shop, newsagents, leather goods stores and a sunglasses shop offer plenty of gift options in each of the terminals.
