A young gentleman at Swissport in East Midlands airport check-in saved us from misery and ensured we were on the flight we had booked to be on
Parking is so very expensive!
The staff need to go on a customer care course. And for heavens sake sort out the sizing of what baggage allowance I’m actually allowed to take AND what will FIT into the contraption that measures it all! Horrendously stressful experience that ended in injury to my Neice’s Hands on the way outbound!
No complaints regarding the airport the staff are helpful unlike the baggage company at Edinburgh
Birmingham Intl is easy to get to its well signposted and there are plenty of staff about if you need any help
bought something at Edinburgh ( clothing) airport and didn't get duty free price??
Loos were not as clean as Edinburgh airport
Circuitous route to departures through shops was irksome and I find that overwhelming smell of perfumes etc physically nauseating
V dirty toilet
It’s not the best airport ever but not the worst to be honest it does look old though
Restaurants and bars were ridiculously expensive! Consequently I waited until I was at my destination for refreshments.
Security was over the top took 3/4 hr to get through made me go everything twice awful experience and this is not the first time last time I came through I nearly missed my flight. Needs sorting out staff not interested.
