  Love the new look website. So much easier to use than before!

  Just flown through Birmingham on way to Dublin yesterday (Sunday). Couldn't believe how quiet the terminal was, and what a breeze it was to go through security. Is this airport always so serene?

  BHX varies wildly between eerie quiet to total carnage depending on the season, day of the week, time of day etc. During peak periods they never seem to have enough security staff manning the desks and there are some proper jobsworths.

  I think Birmingham Airport are completely deluded if they think hs2 will bring them more passengers! I live in London now, but used to live in Kidderminster back in the days when Brian Summers was in charge. He was a really nice guy, but totally wrong in thinking low cost airlines would be a flash in the pan. Now what have they got? Who knows what will happen to bmibaby, all Ryanair do is park planes there, and Flybe have done nothing in ages!

  I use Brimngham Airport a few times each year and I completely agree that it is really hit and miss. Sometime you go in and get through really quickly, other times it can take ages to get through security (even at 6am!). Other than that it is quite a good aitport to fly from with just enough to entertain you airside without the need to walk miles to your gate.

  I really don't understand why Brum management are spending millions on a runway extension, when they could just go after easier wins in Europe and western Asia. How come Manchester has flights to Asia with Qatar Airways and Etihad, but Birmingham has neither? If Dubai is in range, surely these two should be too?

  Tom, I agree these are natural routes, and am sceptical too about the runway extension, but let's hope we are both wrong!

  Birmingham Airport seems to be the best option for most low cost airline in the midlands. Having used both Birmingham and East Midlands I know that Birmingham International is far superior.

  I wouldn't even call East Mids an airport! A few sheds and a runway do not maketh an airport.

  I agree with you about the lack of flights to Europe from Birmingham - I'd add Vienna to that wish list too!
  
  But do you really think flights to Washington DC would work from Birmingham - I know they are re-starting from Manchester, but only with a 757, and there's lots of other through links with Star Alliance partners that way.
  
  Surely there's enough choice of Washington flights from London already?

  I was just looking at destinations on the US East Coast, which might benefit from having flights from Birmingham. Boston might be another - but see Boston flights page for more on that!
  
  Dulles Airport is a major hub for United, and also the DC Metro region has a lot of high tech industry. I don't think it is top of the list, but it should be a major city which can be reached without the runway extension.
