NOTHING beats settling down to a cool pint or a glass of wine in the airport departure lounge to get your holiday underway.
For many travellers, the holiday starts when you get through security and find a bar or restaurant to relax in before heading to the departure gate.
Licensing laws do not apply to bars and restaurants in the departure lounges of airports.
It means passengers can buy alcohol from as early as 4am and throughout the night.
However opening times vary by pub.
