East Midlands Airport Guide (EMA)

East Midlands airport was opened in the 1970s and now serves over four million passengers each year. There is just one terminal so it's easy to find your way around.

Getting there

There is no train station at the airport so you will need to get a taxi or a shuttle from one of the local train stations which include Loughborough, Long Eaton, Nottingham and Derby. Alternatively you can drive yourself by taking the M1 and turning off at junction 23a or 24.

Shopping and Dining

Almost all the shops are located after security control. You'll find Dixons, Boots, Accessorise among others and if you still have some spare change you can check out the supercars at Best of the Best. There are two bars, a selection of cafes (including Costa and Cafe Ritazza) and fast food chains burger King and Pizza Hut.
