Birmingham handling?
Just wondered if anyone had landed at Birmingham International EGBB recently in an SEP - any recommendations on handling agent and how much to expect to be charged?
Thanks!

Re: Birmingham handling?
Last time my mates landed at Birmingham in their Grumman AA5B, it cost £65 in total (+/- £2 due to memory loss ! ) 
Needless to say we don't go there any more.

Depends where you're going & what you're in but Coventry & Wellesbourne are to the South, Halfpenny Green to the NW, Tatenhill to the NE and various farm strips in the area (Baxterley - Charity Farm possibly the closest?).
If you're going to the NEC, could try Coventry then bus/train to B'ham International/NEC

Re: Birmingham handling?
It often makes me wonder why we proceed to offer endless alternatives to peoples questions rather than answering it! All of these other options may be cheaper but if the destination is Birmingham then the cost of travel in time and mode quite easily wipes out the savings of going to other places.
I have been into Birmingham many times for meetings in the city and at the NEC and the airport are efficient and friendly and in this day and age £65 quid is nothing for the handling service I can wipe 65 quid out in half an hour of wasted time.
I have used Execair on a number of occassions 0121 782 1999 who were friendly and even drove me to the NEC.
Birmingham offers no less than 5 handling agents so one of them should be able to help!

Now hopefully the weather will co-operate or it will be the train.
