Passengers can choose from a limited number of facilities. Services reflect the remote and secluded nature of the island, and all of the essentials are here. Little time is needed to check in and clear security as this small airport is well-equipped to handle its light throughput.

Money:

travellers are advised to come to Benbecula with cash in their wallet, because there are no banks or ATMs in the terminal. Exchanging currency should not be an issue as all incoming flights originate from within the UK. Be sure to do any outstanding banking ahead of time, because facilities are limited island-wide.

Shopping:

in Benbecula Airport is not a first priority, but there are a few onsite retailers you can visit while waiting for your flight. Most of the shops are newsstands and small gift shops. There are no duty-free shops at Benbecula.

Eating:

aside from a few snack vendors scattered throughout the airport, the main place to get a proper meal and something to drink is in the cafeteria. Diners will find a reasonable selection of hot and cold food. The airport caf� is a popular restaurant in its own right and is open to non-ticketed visitors.

Business:

there are no business facilities in Benbecula Airport, as the Outer Hebrides are in no way a business traveller destination. Most of the hotels are privately-owned operations unlikely to have much more than a fax machine on hand. The Dark Island Hotel is closest to the airport.
