Birmingham Airport - Picture Thread

[Jon Dempsey]

Exactly what Wifey & I said about Ryanair. They do exactly what it says on the tin, they get you there and back and on time.

Must have been odd occasions because they have always been spotless when we have travelled with them.

Fantastic pictures, BHX looks really busy right now. Good to hear about the two A321s! :good:

Have Ryanair stopped cleaning their windows to save money?

Noooo, they open a new route and let the fire tenders do the cleaning!!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Are they still pushing you to buy those scratch cards?

It's been a while since I've flown with Ryanair but the last time I did it seemed as if they were asking every 15 mins or so

Oh yeah they are.

They do pretty well from selling food and drink though on the flights, they must make alot with the prices they charge.

AMSTERDAM SCHIPHOL NEXT I THINK ON KLM OR FLYBE but will i beable to find a flight for £19.95 ??????
I dont think so, LOL

I think you'll be looking at over £100 with either :s_sad

BMIBaby used to offer some great fares to AMS, I used them on quite a few occasions. Their fares to Scotland were also very attractive when compared to the competition.

Flybe do seem to be towards the top end of the pricing scale, especially to the casual traveller who is open to which destination they go to.

Re: My day trip to Dublin on 2/9/2015

I was up at 04.15am to start my day, feeling excited.

On my bus at 05.20 (The new 900 buses are fantastic)



Bus arrives at BHX 05.45



Another busy at Birmingham Airport begins.



Flights departing BHX upto 10.00am



Quickly went through security, took 2 mins and got a coffee from All bar One and this is what i saw





On this side of The International Pier, there were x 2 Lufthansa A321 aircraft, i can only assume one was for FRA and the other MUC.





Lots of aircraft departing just after 06.00am ready for the big boys to arrive shortly, not so the case for the UA026 from Newark which was delayed.







GOOD MORNING BIRMINGHAM, wakey wakey. I can hear alarm clocks going off all over the city. Some people however who works in Airports and like crazy plane spotting folk have been up since 04.00am







AA arrives from JFK (On time) at the annoyance of United staff.

By now, one hour had passed and ready to walk over to the other side of BHX where Flybe/Ryanair depart from via All Bar One to grab another coffee.


To board my flight, those lucky people on the other Ryanair are off to Faro on the sunny warm Algarve.


Off we go (sorry for the quality) and Air Transat arrives from Toronto.


Departing off Runway 33



Typical Ryanair noisy chaos




WECLOME TO DUBLIN (fáilte roimh dublin)
Its a rather cool September morning, even cooler than BHX, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr




Baggage reclaim much bigger than BHX with 10 large carousels, however its low ceilings and rather dim lighting doesnt make it feel very welcoming.





Hope you enjoyed folks, aircraft photos will follow shortly on the DUB thread.

:coco:

Lovin the photobook Brum X. Great idea! :rockon:

Hi all.Photos enclosed from a visit last Friday 4th Sept for the very rare TU154.Bit of a delay this time but a family illness meant no spare time last week to edit pics.

Full set on https://flic.kr/s/aHskjZQft3

Regards,simon.

 

[Aviador]

Lovin your pictures. I didn't realise the Tu154 was still flying. It was one of my favourite aircraft types when I was a kid.

 

[Brum X]

Great pictures, i always look forward to the photos you post. :smile:

Thanks for posting them Ray

I haven't been around for a while and not taken any BHX stuff. Thought I'd go out yesterday and get some shots round the perimeter (actually found the path down by the railway line)

Nice view now that the Hanger has been demolished

 

[Ray Finkle]

The view from the car park is fantastic now that the hangar has gone, it would be great if they would demolish the other one too :smile:

It's a nice walk along the path by the railway and there are some good views. It's also a handy way of getting to the viewing area without paying the hefty car park charges :good:

I got a few pictures of the inaugural Budapest flight. The light wasn't great so the pictures are slightly grainy.
