Airport parking at-a-glance guide

This handy overview gives you a quick rundown of what each type of parking offers at Birmingham Airport.

Off-airport parking: how it works

This is generally the most cost-effective parking for Birmingham Airport. The off-airport car parks at Birmingham Airport are also easy to access. The process is straightforward.

Follow the directions to the car park. Unload your bags and take one of the regular shuttle bus transfers to the terminal. The transfer to the airport takes around 15 minutes and is complimentary. If you have booked a Park & Ride, your car will be parked for you while you head to check-in, either on-site in the car park or at a nearby secure parking facility, so you need to leave your keys at the car park Reception. Your car will be returned to the Reception area for you to collect at the end of your trip.

Here's a quick overview of the process.

Off-airport parking such as APH Park & Ride offers easy parking in security-protected sites, as well as great value for money.

Best for: all travellers can benefit from the off-airport parking for Birmingham Airport.

Meet and greet parking: how it works

Meet & Greet parking offers the ultimate convenience. You drive straight to the terminal and hand your car over to your Meet & Greet operator. While you walk into the terminal building, your car will be driven to a secure parking facility for the duration of your trip and brought back to the terminal for you upon your return.

.

Booking your Meet & Greet parking, such as Birmingham Airport Valet with APH means you can be sure you are booking with an approved and trusted Meet & Greet provider.

Best for: families with young children, travellers with bulky luggage, or those simply looking for the quickest type of parking.

On-airport parking

On-airport parking means you park your own car in a car park close to the terminal entrance. There is no need to take a shuttle bus transfer (although Car Park 5 offers a free transfer bus if required).

The process is simple. You drive to the car park, find a space, take your luggage and walk to the terminal building. There is no need to hand your keys over to anyone. Allow three to five minutes for the walk to the terminal.

With its proximity to the terminal building, on-airport parking is easy and convenient, although not always the most economical option.

Best for: passengers with bulky luggage, families with young children or those wanting simply to park their own car and walk to check-in.

History of Birmingham Airport

The first flights took off from Birmingham “Elmdon” Airport in 1939, a few months before the breakout of the second world war. After serving as an Elementary Flying School, Fleet Air Arm, testing and delivery base for Stirling and Lancaster bombers, it returned to civilian duties in 1946, with two new hard surface runways.
 
1949 saw the start of scheduled services to Paris, by British European Airways, to be followed by services to Zurich, Düsseldorf, Palma, Amsterdam and Barcelona between 1955 and 1960.
 
In 1961, an extension to the terminal was opened as the International Building, and an extension to the main runway that was added between 1967 and 1970 heralded the arrival of turboprops and jet aircraft. By the early 1970s, a million passengers were passing through the airport, which now offered VC10 services to New York.
 
A new terminal catering for up to three million passengers was opened in 1984 and the Eurohub – the first terminal in the world to combine domestic and international passengers¬ – came into action in 1991. By 2000, the airport was handling over 7.5 million passengers a year and a new two-storey arrivals concourse was constructed to link the two terminals.
 
In 2014, an extension to the runway meant Birmingham could now offer long-haul flights to the west coast of the USA, China and South Africa. 

Terminals

Birmingham operates as a single terminal airport, with 115 check-in desks, 27 self-service kiosks and 47 aircraft stands, with 20 of these fitted with air bridges.
 
The terminal has 11,000 square metres of commercial space, including a 20,000- square-metre walk-through Duty-Free store.
 
The arrivals hall is on the ground floor, along with the check-in desks, and the departures hall is on the first floor after security. Facilities at the terminal include duty-free shopping, restaurants, bars and lounges, and special assistance services. There is a range of airport parking options, as well as airport hotels for overnight stays and combined parking and hotel packages.
 
Around 50 airlines fly in and out of Birmingham, including global flag carriers Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Air India, KLM, Swiss, SAS, Brussels Airline, Air France and Lufthansa.

Check-in

The check-in area at Birmingham Airport is on the ground floor of the terminal building. There are self-service check-in kiosks as well as manned check-in desks. If you have already checked in online, then you simply need to drop your bags at the bag drop-off point. Or, if you are travelling light with just carry-on luggage, then you can skip the check-in area altogether and head straight upstairs to security. 
 
- For international flights, check-in normally opens four hours prior to departure, and you are advised to check in no later than three hours prior.
- For European flights, check-in normally opens two to three hours prior to departure, and you are advised to check in no later than two hours prior.
