The Post unpacks what passengers can expect at Terminal 2.
1. What comes first at Terminal 2?
The first phase of operations at the expanded Terminal 2 involves a reconfigured coach hall opening. The hall is a covered area with 41 parking spaces for limousines, tour buses and cross-boundary and resident coaches.
Ticketing counters and boarding points for cross-boundary coaches and limousines, currently at Terminal 1 and Car Park 4, respectively, and tour bus boarding spaces in Car Park 1 will all be under the same roof at the new site.
The arrangements are expected to help ease traffic at Terminal 1 during peak times. Airport bus stops will remain at their current location.
