What’s that saying, "it’s better to be too early than too late"? That couldn’t be more true than when checking in for a flight. Remember to give yourself enough time to arrive, check-in and get through security. As a guide, we recommend allowing yourself the following amount of time before your flight:
| Birmingham Airport Check-In Times | |
|---|---|
| International | 3 hours prior to departure |
| European | 2 hours prior to departure |
| Domestic | 1.5 hours prior to departure |
All check-in desks are located on the Ground Floor of the terminal. Passengers can enter via Entrances A, B, or C, following signs to their airline's check-in area.
Desk assignments can vary, so passengers should check the flight information screens on arrival for the most accurate and up-to-date details. For specific airline zones and contacts, the airport’s online Airline Directory is the best source.
Self-service kiosks are available on both the Ground and First Floors. These allow passengers to check in, print boarding passes, and in some cases, baggage tags. Availability depends on the airline.
