The first floor contains open lounges (seating capacity of around 1000 persons), kiosks, banks, public toilets and vertical circulation to other levels. The Mezzanine contains business/first class lounges (overlooking the first floor), museum, toilets and vertical circulation. The lounges in all levels as well as the restaurant overlook the apron.
