Have you considered the Express Lane for security at £5 or arriving early?
I flew out on a Wednesday morning easyJet to AMS a couple of weeks ago with cabin baggage only, arrived at the International Railway Station at 06:00 for a 08:00 flight where I left the car, got the Air-Rail Link to the terminal then stepped out straight into the fairly short queue for security, no lifts! We were through in 20 minutes
I can't wait for my next BHX flight, hopefully I will be through in 10 minutes next time with the improved system
Why should anyone have to, or even be offered the opportunity to pay anything to get through what is (another) impediment to air travel? As a cynic I just see congestion as verging on deliberate to create a revenue stream while also saving staff costs.
Charging for fast lanes isn't exclusively a BHX thing, its more a "rip off Britain" symptom.
