Southampton Airport

Southampton, United Kingdom · Europe

AGS regional airport at Eastleigh with a covered footbridge to Southampton Airport Parkway (~99 steps), CT security that still caps liquids at 100 ml (no clear bag; electronics stay packed), Unilink U1 at £2.60, and a Spitfire Lounge that Priority Pass can enter — except through Wed/Sat/Sun midday closures. Do not confuse with Bournemouth BOH.
