Birmingham: Upcoming Flights & Passenger Travel Plans

[Nethercote2019]

Thought I’ll throw my hat into the ring as I’m flying later to Frankfurt for a long weekend holiday and meet up with a few friends , then off to a few more destinations from BHX for work purposes in the coming weeks.

Anywhere new 🤣

Just got back from Amsterdam excellent break till I arrived at airport for my flight back. What a complete utter shambles they say 2-3 hours to get through and they ain't joking passengers squaring up to security people fainting. It was better when the police arrived and warned staff of serious health & safety issues

Flew out to Fuerteventura with EasyJet Yesterday on G-UZHT. Pax on board 160 something as the crew couldn't remember but knew it was that figure...ish. full on the way back though. Delayed two hours as late in from Rome. Couldn't refuel as storms passing over Fiumicino. BHX was a dream to go thru until the departure lounge. Never ever seen it like that... absolutely rammed.
Another first was the 3hr 30mins flight time and it was smooth all the way. Fastest I've ever had to the canaries. Easy were very good with delay updates btw. Surprised even me as I'm used to them not giving a damn about their customers. All in all a good experience 👍👍

Flew back last night from Fuerteventura to BHX on G-EZOU. Again a smooth and fast flight at 3.35hrs. Must be the lack of hurricanes in the Atlantic as to why it's so calm. 180 on board out of 186 so not too shabby. Fuerteventura Airport is so light, airy, beautifully air conditioned and well thought out. A design I wish BHX had. Two weeks was enough as the heat got a bit unbearable at times... unusually. Normally so temperate down there...damn Calima 🥵
Arrived into the south terminal and was greeted by a sea of Jet2 personnel at midnight! You can see where the extra cost of holidays goes. Superb operation at BHX. Didn't have to wait too long for the bags. About an hour from walking down the steps to walking out the airport...mainly because of the big queues for E-Gates in the south.
All in all a good experience from EasyJet and BHX 😁

One thing of note. The legroom in the CEO's was definitely better than the NEO's!

Totally agree regarding amount of Jet2 staff 'hanging around', especially on departures. Yes, even a minor reduction in staff, (multiply by number of airports!) would save money, which could be passed on, yet service could remain the same.

Booked my Egyptair flight while I was away last week. Looking forward to this trip next month.
