Just gone through the “new” security area and liquids >100ml were allowed. We were told all liquids and electronics to be kept inside. Not a silly question clearly :)

Silly question perhaps but - for those arriving via train and accessing the “new” security area, can you take >100ml liquids? Or are they keeping the “old”/current rules the same throughout the airport for consistency until 1st June? Just wondered if anyone who has travelled recently is aware...

Having used the new 3D scanners at other airports, such as FCO, I think (hope) it’ll significantly cut waiting times. At FCO, there can be huge queues and only a few lanes open, and the queue still takes just a few minutes. Think about the fact that people only have to put through their...

I wondered more so from the outside re how things are looking. I remember seeing a Timelapse from BHX officials a few months back but hadn’t seen anything since, and haven’t flown from BHX since Jan. Amazing, 2 months today. That’ll fly by :)

Has anyone seen/heard/got recent photos of how the security development area is coming along? :) When they says "June 2024", do we know if this is start/mid/end of June? I have to admit, I'm extremely excited for the new security area to open. As a frequent flier who typically travels...

I forgot easyJet used to have a base in Madrid, I always wondered why they had so few routes from there. Why do you think there’s no chance of IBX coming back? Funnily enough, I noticed BHX on the IBX route map on their in-flight magazine when flying MAD-FCO last week. Not sure if they just...

Surprising and disappointing indeed! Thinking/hoping it’s only a matter of time until we have a second operator on the route… Anecdotally, the flights always seem to be full, and other passengers I’ve spoken to were surprised that the route can’t sustain 6-7x weekly flights. I appreciate this...

Madrid now showing as 2x weekly until the end of the bookable schedule which is very disappointing. It originally showed as increasing from 3x weekly in winter to 4x weekly, which then went down to 2x up to June then 3x onwards. I recently moved to Madrid and visit family and friends in BHX...

I hope everyone had a great Christmas ☺️ If you get a moment, please could you sign and share this petition for Iberia Express to reinstate flights between BHX<>MAD? 🙏 This is to be shared with the BHX & IBX route planning teams. https://chng.it/JsHzPmGSCv

I’ve noticed Madrid is going down to 2x weekly April-July then back up to 3x weekly from August onwards. This was originally showing as 4x weekly from April. Does anyone know why? Aircraft shortage or lack of demand? Hoping there will be more supply to Madrid soon (come on IB/EZY!)

Does anyone know when easyJet are likely to release S24 flight-only tickets for sale on their new BHX routes? They announced new routes from Larnaca to Glasgow, Belfast & Nantes in the past 24hrs, and those are already for sale for S24 on their website and app. Meanwhile, BHX is still only...

Exciting, I’ll look out for these on my way to Madrid over the next couple of weeks! Does anyone know when easyJet will put their new routes for S24 on sale for flight-only bookings?

I didn’t see that coming! Looking at their “X” (Twitter) account, they’re following 4 airports: BHX, MAN, EMA & LTN 👀

Is the current construction for the new security area only? Or also a terminal extension? Does anyone know if this project has resumed post-COVID? https://www.birminghamairport.co.uk/about-us/planning-and-development/development-projects/terminal-extension/

It’s a pity, as BHX-ORY could perform really well with the right equipment. A 220-seater A321 is excessive for such a short hop considering the size/demand from BHX, so it seemed like a losing battle from the start. A 150-seater A220/A319 or similar with higher frequency would have probably...

Such amazing news about the new routes that have been announced. 28 routes next year with easyJet is amazing, and great timing to launch the base with the new security area opening in June 2024. I completely agree, I’m really impressed with the attention to detail given to the timings -...

A very pleasant surprise to see Emirates A380 this morning at BHX! First flight of the day, over to Madrid. It looks like works have started on the new security area and mezzanine! https://www.birminghamairport.co.uk/media-information/news/2022/10/works-begins-on-new-bhx-security-area/

What do we think the chances are of Iberia Express returning to BHX? I’m slightly biased as I live mostly in Madrid now and return to Birmingham frequently to visit friends and family, but it does seem more seats could be added to the route. Not too long ago, we had Ryanair, Monarch...

The anticipation is killing me :nailbiting: I hope we won’t be wondering for too much longer :happy:

I can’t wait to find out! Does anybody have any guesses? Obvious routes are domestic such as EDI, GLA, BHD. I’m curious as to what European routes they may commence. Smaller regional cities such as south of France? Little/no competition, but less demand. Higher yield routes such as AMS &...
