What you only find here

Other sites say the ibis is a "7-minute walk". On our map route it is about 15 minutes to the terminal. We worked out the walking routes to the terminal on the map, including the stretches of Airport Way with no pavement on the map and the steps on the last part, so you know which hotel you can really walk from.
