Probably help if they did not keep changing the rules on an almost daily basis!
Queue for security today stretched down the escalators and into the car park this morning! Appalling planning!!!

it never ceases to amaze me how many people don't seem to know that belts, coats and jackets must come off, I pads, liquids etc be taken out of their bags, instead they get to the scanner and hold everyone up by doing it there and not when in the queue....

It is not just passengers who don't understand the security regulations.Airline staff are also not very good at preparing themselves for the security check.
Many times I have been held up by staff from many of BHX's most prominent Airlines,1or 2 that might surprise you.
Bearing in mind they probably have to through the same checks at most or all of the airports they go through,it is rather worrying that they can't get their act together.

The problem, I'm afraid, is the basic intelligence of a samll percentage of passengers, or the idea that whatever the rules, they can flout them. It doesn't take make of either calibre to screw up a system that's already under stress.

"Same seats?
Are they having a laugh - surely EK39/40 will change to the A380. I just assumed it hadn't made the booking engines as yet."

No idea but with EK42 not running in May, it returns again in June, July and August .... to disappear again in September ...
Its either September onwards hasn't been released yet, or there's some serious flight load management going on with slots popping up and down.

All these new services are OK spotting wise but user wise they are creating chaos at the airport. As a regular off peak user of the airport I have recently discovered that there is no off peak period at Brum anymore! Fortunately (as a regular) I know a few little tricks that still just about enables me to make the whole process of using BHX tolerable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the terminal is now too small for the number of passengers it handles. Of course the management will tell us otherwise but they wouldn't admit the truth would they!
EK now reinstating the morning service at least for a couple of months.

Forcing all passengers though the Duty Free shop and into the main terminal, means that 'Eurohub' passengers add to the overcrowding. If there was an option to turn left after security, then flybe and Ryanair passengers could go straight there. There may not be as many shops in the Eurohub, but the main needs are there; food, drink, newsagents and books, chemists, duty free are all there.
Why did the management of this airport decide to change the pick up area outside the terminal at the start of the summer, when they have had all winter to do it? It smacks of a council run mentality and waiting until the new financial year. It has made the traffic flow into the airport very difficult and slow.
I also see that a number of new bussing gates appear ready to use,but I hope that the airport has bought some more busses for these passengers..On the way to work the other day I saw a skip that was full of telephones the airport has discarded. One of the workers told me there were over one thousand five hundred telephones in it. What a waste, yet they cannot restore the glidepath on RW 33.

The article mentions a people mover from the terminal to the airport but where will it deposit them and how will passengers get to the aircraft?I cannot see this making the journey from London any quicker than the current situation.
