If you do go North, which is 2 minutes from the usual domestic gates, just go away from the main drag, the outlying sections or the terrace can be quieter.

Note that bacon rolls stop being served at 09:30 hrs, but the other breakfast items such as porridge and continental breakfast will go on after that until about 11:45 hrs.
