Title: BHX luggage problems.
Post by: rookie on Aug 08, 2026, 21:32
Just saw a story in BBC reporting that alot of passengers are being left stranded on holiday without their luggage due to issues at BHX. Not a great start to anyone's holiday!

Lots of complaints on the Birmingham airport group. Toilets are in a bad state too.

I don't like travelling through Birmingham in the last couple of years. Overcrowed and dirty

More problems for BHX last night. Massive power cut throughout the area and toilets majorly overflowing according to FB posts

I had a flight into/out of BHX a few years ago,the place was a building site,much needed improvements from what I was told. Clearly it`s still a stink pot.

I've started avoiding flying out of it in recent years after Cosford Airshow. Removing the escalators and relying on lifts only to security is shambolic. They do have stairs but its at staffs discretion when it is busy as the security queue can start downstairs, then lift up and then another queue to security. I won't get in a lift. I now take the train down to London and fly from Stansted each year since the redevelopment.
