Seriously, I really can't see how the unpleasant experience of travelling from the northwest of Birmingham to EMA is less than flying through BHX. By the time you've parked somewhere near Melbourne, and nowhere near the terminal, then socially distanced on a transfer bus lugging 20kg each of "holiday essentials", the comparatively short walk from the BHX onsite carparks to the terminal must be a less stressful experience - but each to their own.
Love EMA its my home airport and grew up falling in love with aviation there at the old aeropark but have to agree it is pretty tight in the departures at EMA and always seems to be building work going on.
Needs a new terminal really to push on.
