Often, when there are stories run in local newspapers the airport will respond with the queue time. However, from my experience, BHX management use the statistics that paint them in a better light. Statistics can say whatever you want them too. This is certainly the case with BHX. For example...

Not a problem 🙂 Hopefully what I was told was correct. It does make some sense I guess, the press release about the £10m stand realignment in January did quote someone high up at the airport saying that this will enable the airport to direct inbound aircraft to T2 stands if none are available...

Hi Ray, From what I’ve been told yes, all domestic flights will continue to depart from the T2. Specifically gates 11-16. I believe this is the “domestic half” of the south terminal in the baggage/immigration area. Also. Take with a pinch of salt as we will wait and see, but I was also told...

It’s my understanding that the work being done around the Eurohub is mainly to accommodate the entire operation of Jet2, whilst it mentioned in the 2018 Masterplan, I don’t think back then anyone would have envisaged Flybe 1 going under and no one would have predicted Jet2 having potentially...

Hopefully the end date of 23/03/31 is a typo 😂

Because money talks.. Yes, I believe the corridor will be moved to go behind the new WHSmiths to the No.1 lounge and toilets. I think the entrance to the corridor will be as you enter the little incline towards gates 40-68. Might just be me, but I find the timing of all this activity quite...

From what I’ve been told Next will be split down the middle and half taken for a larger JD store and the other half a larger WHSmiths. Costa Coffee - No I believe it is closing permanently and will reopen as a Starbucks franchise by SSP. All the airport colleagues/crew I know who use the Costa...

The next concession isn’t reopening. As “Next” anyway. Also Costa Coffee in the North departure lounge is to permanently close end of this month.

I believe you were correct, today I’ve noticed only gates 1-3 in use and the rest of the gates around South Terminal are blocked off. Some activity happening in regards to moving equipment away from the gates and a large lorry on the apron 😀

Hey, Does anyone have any photos of the South Terminal from the early 2000’s and can anyone confirm to me whether AllBarOne used to be a Wetherspoons around this time. I flew to Edinburgh around 2007 on BMIBaby and I have vague memories of eating in Wetherspoons before my flight from this...

Hey, been viewing these forums for a number of years.. never posted before so go easy 🙂. I’m just curious if anyone in the know has any clues as to what airport management plan to do with the South Terminal ? I’ve seen various rumours and talk of work being done on the exterior to accommodate...
