I don't know Birmingham airport, Stan.

But as nobody else has replied - yet ...

I usually hole up at the nearest petrol station to arrivals.

A quick Google suggests this could work for you. What do I put here then?

thanks, i also goggled and found an esso garage on the main coventry road thats only 10 minutes away...looks like theres a subway there as well for tummy nourishment... ... - .- -.

I stayed overnight at. A hotel for a morning flight - their shuttle bus dropped us just short of the terminal - one stop on the monorail as much easier apparently......

i wont be staying at a hotel alistair but driving up from swindon, hence where to wait for their flight landing.. ... - .- -.

Mossing the point

There’s a monorail form the terminal to i think the station with a mid stop - there you can just scoop them up and be on your way - the mini bus driver said he never goes near the drop off area

Would need to google it for specifics - and it may be just too complicated, but thought I’d mention it

i see what you mean..

i think i read that you can park for free [20 mins?] at the railway station and use that monorail you mentioned.. ... - .- -.

I'm from the area.

Park up at the International Station drop off car park. You can leave the car for 20 mins for free, but probably stay in the car for longer. (no ticket required)

Get the people flying in to jump on the Skyrail monorail system (it only has 1 stop) and come over to the station, then down the escalators and out the door. Turn right and they will see you parked up in about 20 footsteps. __

Blimey, I have just arrived home and landed at Birmingham at midday.

There are still a few delays due to the snow and a shortage of baggage handlers. So expect delays of around 40 minutes or so.

my pick up is on boxing day at around 11 pm so i doubt anyone will be about then Jim  ... - .- -.
