So has LGW and LHR, schools are breaking up and it’s summer holidays season. There’s your standard normal security woes at peak times and then there’s extraordinary queues every single day (the issue BHX was having)
Last example was this Tuesday morning just gone arrived at 6:30am and through security within 10 mins no fast track.
Another two the week before 20-30 mins. Similar times 7-8am take offs, no fast track.
Going through BHX last summer was no picnic either, it’s not going to transform into something it isn’t ie LHR.
I’m sure this next week will be trouble because the local schools are breaking up and people are flying out all at the same time.
