The airport asks for two hours
The FAQ says arrive two hours ahead. Check-in open and close times vary by airline, and the boarding deadline printed on the boarding pass is the cutoff.
Commercial flying uses one passenger terminal
Scheduled passengers use the commercial terminal. The 500 m² business terminal, with its own security and border space, is for private and business flights and is separate from the commercial hall.
Côté-Py is lunch, Monday to Friday
Côté-Py is in the departures hall on level 1, 12:00–14:30 Monday to Friday. Two bars, one airside and one landside, open according to the flights. No drinking fountain is published.
BIQ · Basque Coast gateway with TXIK TXAK Line 11 and Belharra/Bidaiia F&B, but no Priority Pass lounge and a temporary parking-reservation / P5 closure note.
LDE · A single commercial terminal for a low-cost and pilgrimage mix, with a real bus to Tarbes and Lourdes and almost no public food or lounge once the weekday lunch service closes.
