    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

    We flew from Heathrow as it was only 1 1/2 hours journey. Disappointed by T4, it was cramped, under redevelopment and not as clean as the last time I flew from there.

    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

The flight timings were more comfortable being 12 hours + 8 hours rather than 7.5 hours + 15 hours. If there is sufficient volume from Brum to...

    Your wishlist for BHX

    Thanks Mullion, If Manchester already has a first class service, that will be retro-fitting of existing 3 class A/C, similar to the ultra long range.

    Route Development & Rumours

    We are only in Worcestershire, quite close to the M42, so a taxi to and from the airport only costs about £40 there and less in an Uber on the way home. Whenever I am dropping friends or family, I always use the car park @ the station and take them on the monorail over to the airport to make...

    Your wishlist for BHX

    I'd like to see Emirates add Premium Economy to EK39 & EK40. I appreciate that the mid-range metal is either 2 or 3 class. Nice to see them start to roll-out 3 or 4 class.

    Random Stuff!

    I've only been in Redditch for 25 years, so I'm still a blow-in and cannot remember that. I do remember protests @ Bagington as I was contracting for National Packaging at the time who used temporary offices within the airport whilst their distribution warehouse was being built. A struggle to...
