It's the mornings when they can't cope. If your flight is between 6:30 and 9:30 you're going to be queuing for a long, long time - rest of the day is usually OK - but the schools haven't broken up yet.I flew In the afternoon 2 weeks ago took 20 minutes to get through.
It's £20 nowPay the £5 security fast track. It’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Out of interest did you fly with Jet 2?Absolute shit show, feels like an upgrade we didn't need. Arrived super early 2 hours ago and only just got into spoons for a swift one. Much worse behind us, so glad we didn't aom for our usual 2 hours before departure.
If you're heading away over the summer, give yourself plenty of time.
That has been withdrawn for peak early morning flights …Pay the £5 security fast track. It’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Bring back Baginton! Loved sitting in a field waiting for the plane to be ready.

It took longer to get back in the country than get out of it for us we landed about 1.30amDefinitely a morning problem.
We flew out late Monday afternoon with Jet2 and bought fast track tickets and sailed through in about 20 minutes.
Flying back in early hours of Tuesday morning so will see if there are any problems the other way.
On coach now waiting transfer to resort. Tbh didn't know about fast track until we were there and only available pre-purchase not on the day. Tbh wonder if it's a tactic to make it extra slow, to encourage more people paying fast track, although £20 ok on your own, expensive extra cost for a family.Definitely a morning problem.

I like East Midlands. Never had any queuing there before.Worst airport in the country with the dump East Midlands not far behind.
I’ve arrived at 6am with fast track and queued for over an hour to get through security. I just find it a bit of a dump in general as well.I like East Midlands. Never had any queuing there before.
Getting around baggage checks, ehEMA used to have signs welcoming you to “the gateway to Loughborough”!
Never flew from Cov, but picked my parents up from there once. My Dad passed their suitcases over a fence when they had landed
We arrived at 3am and it was like Piccadilly Circus!How much of a "Morning problem" is it at Birmingham?
I'm flying out of there at 6am in September, surely there aren't going to be mad queues at pre-5am? Or am i mistaken?
I saw an article a few weeks ago with people queuing outside just to get into the terminal at 5/6am.How much of a "Morning problem" is it at Birmingham?

Never flown from Birmingham and have no intention of doing so any time soon. The flights tend to be more expensive than Heathrow so just go from there, its only an hour down the m40 and you save yourself a lot of hassle.It's the worst airport I have ever flown from for its size. The CEO who is on 700k a year gave himself a pay rise and recently came out justifying it. He should be fired but somehow still remains.
Gatwick, especially the North Terminal, is easily the best airport in the country.It's the worst airport I have ever flown from for its size. The CEO who is on 700k a year gave himself a pay rise and recently came out justifying it. He should be fired but somehow still remains.
Could list a hundred things wrong with they airport but I've already posted enough about it on this forum. Would just advise to boycott it. Was at Gatwick yesterday and was through security in less than two minutes.
Not if you buy direct from the Airline - I flew last Friday for an 08:00 flight and got through in 15 minutes. Non fast track took over 2 hours apparentlyThat has been withdrawn for peak early morning flights …
On the UK I only use Heathrow and that's only twice a year. Luckily in Bangkok flights are 24/7 no night time flight ban.Not if you buy direct from the Airline - I flew last Friday for an 08:00 flight and got through in 15 minutes. Non fast track took over 2 hours apparently
15 minutes for fast track is a lot longer than any other airport. When I use it at Gatwick the whole process takes less than a minute.Not if you buy direct from the Airline - I flew last Friday for an 08:00 flight and got through in 15 minutes. Non fast track took over 2 hours apparently
Just tried to book mine with Jet2 not given the option of Birmingham.Not if you buy direct from the Airline - I flew last Friday for an 08:00 flight and got through in 15 minutes. Non fast track took over 2 hours apparently
