I met a friend off the EK flight last night (fri). The flight arrived at 19.45 and his bags came through at 21.00. He said it was chaos in the 'one terminal' No one seem to know what was happening and why the baggage was late arriving. (The flight wasn't full). I wonder if it had anything to do with this:
Birmingham Airport to open merged terminal : Birmingham Airport News Stories
Imagine if you had to park your car. By the time we set off from the airport it was 21.10 - that would equate to around £12 in parking fees, if you arrived 15 mins after the flight had landed.
A total shambles.
