At the end of the day you've deleted all of my posts anyway so what's the point. I actually think you are completely wrong though as adblockers gates don;t make a penny for the forum they just choke off the number of users. Contributors are also vital to keeping people engaged, so really what...

I saw this article on line which shows BHX is the worst airport in the UK for delays: UK's best and worst airports for flight delays revealed - full list Packing your bags and planning a holiday this summer? Check out which airport might be the best to travel from and what might be the worst...

This is a further article from the BBC which states BHX was worst in 2021 too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-65530682 I think the BBC article is useful as it states the problem got a lot worse in the second year as average delays were "only 12 minutes" in 2021 but now it's...

TBH I don't think you guys actually use the airport very much if you don't know how bad it is. I'm not here to spout propaganda for the airport I'd like it to be a gateway to the city and the region that I can be proud of. As it is it's a million miles from being a world class airport and it's...

I'm happy to change the thread name when the reality changes. The article is, after all, less than 2 weeks old. I travelled through the airport last week and I don't see it getting any better.

I don't think so really. I think the key point is BHX is the WORST in the UK. I have a choice which airport to use to I think you should also consider that EMA is the best in the UK. Did you read the second article? It's exactly the same this year. Also BHX was still the WORST when...

Hi, I saw this article on line which shows BHX is the worst airport in the UK for delays https://news.sky.com/story/uks-best-and-worst-airports-for-flight-delays-revealed-full-list-12876150 I think this is really bad as one of this things I expect from a regional airport vs LHR for example...

I disagree, because the forum only gets paid when people click on the ads. If you want to support the forum just allowing the ads to appear isn't enough you need to click on them. I'd like to see ads there that are relevant to me as a user because with affiliate ads the forum can get paid a...

I was at BHX last Saturday and it was carnage. Package holiday makers were queuing out of the door. I spoke to a lady from Manchester and her TUI long haul flight ( I think to Thailand ) had been moved from Manchester. She said it was the 2nd or 3rd time that had happenend and it might be the...

First of all, thanks for all your work managing the forum and I understand what you are saying but like a lot of people right know I also have to be careful where I spend my money. I also think by contributing to discussions on the forum I am also adding value by stimulating discussion with...

Yeah, that's what I'm saying I think they should hurry it up. Stuff can get build really quickly in Dubai though compared to the UK.

I made a business journey at very short notice so I couldn't do the pre-booking but I actually used to do these journeys quite a lot a few years ago and park in what is now car park 5 and it wasn't all that expensive. I know you can pre-book but that isn't really the issue. A lot of people...

I think the powers that be need to understand that airport customers have free will and how easy and cost effective the airport is to access will determine whether they use it. Some of the turn up rates at the airport car parks are obscene. I can understand that airports like Heathrow can do...

I'd like to see more use of DWC for passenger flights. This airport is designed specifically to handle an enormous amount of cargo and traffic. Most of the tourist passengers flying to Dubai want to go to this area anyway as this is where JBR is and all the tourist hotels and bars. It't also...

Hi all recently flew Emirates and I have a few opinions but I'm happy for other people to share theirs too. I booked a business class ticket and it said it include the limo transfer but when I got to the airport there was no car there. The handler said I should have booked this in advance but...

Hi all, I've been travelling a lot more post COVID and recently through BHX. I thought I'd post a couple of discussion topics and tips here to stimulate debate. BHX is my closest airport by far, I can get there in less than 30 minutes by car but I don't have a public transport despite living...

The have cancelled EDI, NCL and STN and reduced MAN. They must be making some dough out of it otherwise it would be toast.

2016 is when AA also flew JFK. Whenever I flew on United the business cabin was either full or nearly full. I think the extra capacity hurt yields and LFs. Before AA flew this route tickets were quite expensive compared to LHR. To me this flight would not necessarily have been an automatic...

Some of these routes might be viable for Easy but they will also serve maybe 3 days a week as is the norm for LCCs, I don't see anyone competing with the frequency of Flybe. Probably be cheaper though if you are less fussy about when you fly.

They have 11 E175s at the moment according to Airfleets so I guess at least 2 are going if they are looking for a fleet of 9. We shouldn't be surprised to lose routes like this if Easy are being courted to come in.
