Airport parking at Jersey

Three car parks contain spaces for 650 vehicles. The short-term car park is directly in front of the terminal, and holds about 125 cars. A medium-term lot, with 250 spaces, is just beyond. Slightly farther away, but still within walking distance, is the long-term car park, for 175 vehicles. Pay stations for the car parks are located inside the terminal building - one in the departures concourse, and one in arrivals.

Getting to and from Jersey

Although the island is small and distances between towns is not great, traffic can be a problem, so allow adequate driving time. From the airport, follow the roadway south until it joins with the A1; this leads directly into St. Helier. The Jersey Bus Service runs between St. Helier and the airport every 20 to 30 minutes; the buses also stop in St. Aubin, St. Brelade and St. Peter. Taxis are also available outside the terminal's arrivals concourse; fares to St. Helier and other popular destinations are in the €9-€15 (£6-£10) range.

Amenities at Jersey International Airport

Two ATMs are located in the center of the terminal, and there is a bureau de change in the arrivals concourse.

The airport's duty-free shop is located beyond the security checkpoint. Dining and refreshment options are offered at the Island Quarters cafeteria, the World News Café coffee bar, and the Bar Roc.
