the loser - BHX. minus 4 pax on their Stats that everyone holds so dear if nothing else.
I agree the speed that baggage is delivered is a lottery at times depending on the time of day the operator you have used and thus the handling agent. Although that can go for other airports as well and you then have to factor in any extra travelling time but it if you live 50/50 from two rival airports it is not so bad. Today I just dropped my youngest at Liverpool Uni and coming home most of my journey was on 70mph roads and I averaged 35 over 215 minutes with no crashes but roadworks until 2022 - it is pathetic and I would prefer to wait 90 minutes in my local than risk several hours on the road worrying when I will get home. Don't even get me started about trains.
By the way not excusing the delay which is clearly an ongoing problem at BHX which if is being addressed is not working.
