    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

    A rather random question but something I’m intrigued about… Having flown out the airport a lot recently with easyJet I’ve noticed how random their gate assignments are - sometimes over at 14/15/16 sometimes in the 40s, even boarded at 60. It made me wonder is there any logic at BHX as to where...

    Using Birmingham Airport (Questions & Reviews)

    Flew at 6am this morning (well 7 after a slot delay). Absolutely sailed through security about 4:15am not even 5 mins and queue didn’t stop, absolute breath of fresh air. Fast track had 0 advantage. Lounge was absolutely packed though so time in bar might be trying to find somewhere to sit down!

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Saw quite a few people looking like they were preparing to spend the night in the terminal when using the jet2 twilight check in this evening - hope they get a hotel room. That’s a long delay!!

    easyJet

    Gap showing between Iceland and Israel on the easyJet holidays destinations (you can’t click on it) only new realistic country that would fit there in terms of alphabetical order is Ireland, but find it hard to believe easyJet would go into Irish market up against Ryanair? All very intriguing 🤨...

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Must be havoc for scheduling especially with the longer flights where crew run the risk of going over hours

    Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

    Any reason why Jet2 afternoon departures seem to be averaging 1hr+ delays? Noticing it with some TUI flights too - it seemed to be the case before the IT issues too. Some even up to 4/5hrs today. Is it the usual summer slot delays? Or is it BHX specific? Worried about a flight we have later this...

    Security, Immigration & Border Control

    I agree that the whole thing seems to be shambolic and just awful PR. Having flown loads recently from other airports due to price, now have several flights booked from BHX and dreading them all after latest experience. Many people will feel the same. I really think as previously said...

    Thanks for quick reply! Hope these issues don’t affect the chances of future expansion by EZY at BHX

    easyJet

    Just had a week away with easyJet holidays. They really are a fantastic operation. Excellent flight both ways, super crew. Really hoping they expand even further at BHX. Just landed back at BHX and the crew said thanks for flying with us ‘on behalf of the Birmingham and Gatwick based crew’. Is...

    Security, Immigration & Border Control

    Think a lot of people’s experience will be dependent on airline/flying time. Flew to Tunisia with easyJet last Sunday. Queue was shocking - made worse by EZY only opening 2 hours before departure. Waited in queue and called through 20 mins before departure to rush to the gate. Was first in line...

    Ryanair

    Bulgarian airline news site seems to suggest new route to Plovdiv from November 2024. One to watch out for. https://trafficnews.bg/plovdiv/nova-avioliniia-otkriva-letishte-plovdiv-305021/

    Looks like ARN won't return after all. Great pity, just hope the FR route stays now. https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/221227-ewns23cxld
