Passengers will only use one terminal at East Midlands Airport, common to all flights. The airport building is inconspicuous and quite unsightly, but it is very easy to navigate.

The terminal is divided into an arrivals area and a departures hall, which are not connected to each other.

You can make the transition between arrivals and departures via an outdoor walkway in about 2 minutes.

Transfer between flights

East Midlands is not primarily a transfer point and therefore the airport does not have the option of direct transferring at all without leaving the transit zone.

You always have to go through passport control, come out, walk between the arrival and departure halls and check in again.

If you plan to transfer on your own in the East Midlands, expect a net transfer time from arrival to departure gate of approximately 40 minutes.
