Very poorly signposted in the airport. We had to ask where departures were after dropping off our bags as we could find no signs!

Great airport, organised and runs well, very clean but it needs more seating by smaller gates.... also food here is so so expensive(even more so than in iceland normally. (17 gbp / 25 usd for 2 pizza slices)

Expect to walk. When traveling from back towards USA go straight to immigration control. Lines were long, but moving. Could be a problem if your layover windows is short. Gate waiting areas are small too
