Restaurants and shops

The airport's facilities are commensurate with its size. There are only two shops in the terminal: a duty free shop after security and a WHSmith mini-market also in the transit area. Both shops open 2 hours before the first departure and close after the last departure.

There are no shops in the public area of the airport.

About 200 metres south of the terminals there is a regular shopping centre with a supermarket, drugstore or clothing store.

Restaurants in the transit area take the form of three bars connected to cafés. In the public zone you will find Costa Coffe (4:15-23:00).

Luggage storage

There are no luggage storage facilities in the terminal.

ATMs and currency exchange

The exchange offices and ATMs at the airport are operated by Travelex with very unfavourable exchange rates and high withdrawal fees.

The regular banks at Southend Airport do not have ATMs. However, it is not a problem to pay for transport from the airport by card and eventually withdraw money more conveniently in town.
