    I've been told that one of the lifts is dedicated to fasttrack at busy times so fingers-crossed. With the monorail link and both TUI and Jet2 doing a "day-before bag drop", that is a very serious possibility. I can see queues in the street outside of the station! That is certainly something I...

    We travel on 19th @ 6:30. I managed to get Express Lane tickets the other day which were not available earlier. £5 spent and not needed is far better than 2-3 hours in the queue for security IMO.

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    Just booked a looooong weekend in Amsterdam in September with EasyJet. Looking forward to it as it will be the first time I have made it into the city. Maybe, we will find a good place to have a nice coffee!!

    Hi JFY, Going by what BV had posted, this will reduce the number of lanes. What annoys me when trying to catch a flight and there is a long queue (even with fast-track, it becomes uncomfortable) is when you get to the top, only half of the lanes are open. - Wouldn't ensuring that security...

    Looks like the airport has confidence in the new security area "Premium Fast Track vouchers can only be pre–booked online for a cost of £7 (£20 from 1st July 2024) per person"

    Slap on the back for the man - it just takes a bit of common sense. No, but perhaps BigVern can help. I think this is the area which had shops around just before Security before redelopment, judging by the ceiling area based when we last flew on the 2nd. Personally, I have not seen this...

    A post from a tourist on a Corfu forum Who was caught out at Birmingham airport yesterday? These words are from a follower of ours "We didn't mate, the security was so busy at Birmingham airport it took us over 2 hours just to get through and they wouldn't let us on the plane, it happened to...

    Nostalgia at BHX

    We used to live in Hodge Hill so had a great view of planes landing and taking off. This obviously sparked off my interest in aviation. At Elmdon, the sound of a Vanguard starting up was always special, as was the air-compressor startup of a BAC 1-11. My first flight was from the old terminal...

    And that is the best area - try arriving when Jet2 have a busy patch. 3 border guards and 2 carousels. I have seen queues almost out to the airbridges. This is the first impression visitors get of the city.

    I fully expect the cost of queue-busters to go over £50 before the end of July :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Flying to JSI with Jet2 on 19th June. The flight is too early to be able to buy a queue-buster ticket, so I hope them lifts are working!! :)

    Ryanair

    Just returned from AGP last night on FR2267. Both this and the outbound flight, FR2165 on 02/04, seemed packed to the rafters.

    Emirates

    That would be good. Their 380 is far more comfortable than the 777

    It would help having all of the security lanes fully manned at peak times and all staff fully trained.

    easyJet

    We travelled with EasyJet Holidays last Feb (2023) for a long weekend in Lisbon (wanted to support the new route). Despite the awkward flying times (Lisbon based aircraft), we both have nothing but praise for the service. Looking forward to more destinations.

    easyJet

    I used to fly to/from there with FlyMaybe for a day's work. The last time I did this, they consolidated the last flight with the last one from Edinburgh meaning a coach over.

    When I travelled out on the Sunday, the four lift lanes were being controlled by a staff member opening and closing a "sheep-dip fence" as I call them. As I needed to check baggage in, I had to push pash past 4 lanes of people rushing to get to departures - I'm sure this will get sorted once the...

    Obviously a Maspalomas fan. Wifey & I tend to stay on the bus a bit longer, down to Puerto de Mogan although we haven't been to GC for a good few years now.
