On my last two visits the attendant denied all knowledge of such facilities. Including today "Yes bathrooms. P1. No sir. No bath. Only shower here sir, perhaps you mean departure terminal?" I asked why the signage shows showers and infinity bathrooms but it became clear that I was getting nowhere and I started to feel I was making a fool of myself.

I came here to check they actually exist. I am still not convinced they do. Does anyone have a photo? Wouldn't surprise me to learn that they all sprung leaks and have been taken out of service.

The showers are ... showers. If I had paid the contractor to install them I'd have been unhappy with the fit (assuming a fair price was paid). I think the old T4 facility was better although the attendants could be just as surly. The T4 steam showers in departures were excellent.

CCR breakfast service was very friendly with good humour from one lady serving/greeting. Yes the food/drinks do come from the same place as the buffet outside, only slower and without the mix and match you get yourself. The seating is comfy.
