FAQs
Birmingham questions we are asked
- Why choose Birmingham over Heathrow?
- For many Northamptonshire travellers Birmingham is a shorter and more predictable drive, with a single terminal and shorter walking distances.
- How early should we leave for a Birmingham flight?
- Around four and a half hours before a long-haul departure and three and a half before short-haul, adjusted for the time of day.
- Do you cover return collections from Birmingham?
- Yes, and we recommend booking the return at the same time so the collection is already arranged when you land.
