Birmingham Airport is getting a face lift, with a new £50 million security area being built to improve the airport experience.
We’d like to remind you to arrive at the airport with sufficient time before your flight. At the moment, we’re recommending giving yourself three hours for flights to Europe and Africa, and four hours for long-haul flights. That way, you’ll have plenty of time to check in your luggage and make your way through the security queues. Arriving any earlier than this won’t mean you can check in or pass through security early.
On that note, don’t forget that if your flight takes off before noon, you can drop your bags between 2pm and 9pm using our day-before bag drop, making your departure day easier click here for more details.. You can do this for all flights except those to the USA. And, just so you know, if you’re driving to the airport to drop your bags, you can use the Premium Set Down Car Park for up to an hour, for the special price of just £4 – just let the customer service booth know you’ve used the bag drop as you exit the car park.
You can enter the terminal using the main doors in zones B, C and D to reach our check-in desks which are on the ground floor. You’ll find these entrances by passing through the covered walkways that’re in place at the front of the terminal.
If you plan on arriving by monorail, it stops at the airport right where you need to check in with us.
Rest assured, our team will be on hand to provide help and support wherever needed. Together with Birmingham Airport, we’re doing our best to make sure the facelift has the littlest effect as you pass through the airport. At the same time, we’re excited to be working behind the scenes to improve your future experience.
