Flying from Birmingham: your airport options
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is clearly the best place to start for most people who travel to Birmingham. This airport is located approximately eight miles east of the city centre along with the NEC and Birmingham International train station and is the largest airport in the West Midlands.
Some routes do not use BHX airport, which explains why such long transfers between airports are so common in Birmingham. The Heathrow Airport is located approximately 115 miles to the southeast of the city and offers the most comprehensive international connections. So, Birmingham to Heathrow transfers are the most popular transfers in such routes. Gatwick Airport is approximately 150 miles to the south from Birmingham, so the Birmingham to Gatwick transfers have very similar patterns.
The East Midlands Airport is approximately 40 miles to the north-east of Birmingham while Coventry Airport is located 20 miles to the east of Birmingham and is used for business and general aviation. Manchester Airport is approximately 75 miles to the north of Birmingham while Bristol Airport is about 95 miles to the south-west of the city.
Long-distance transfers are also not confined to airports only. Transfers from London to Birmingham are made via the same route whether it is a business client coming in for the day or a team going south for the day. Travellers from Gloucestershire use Cheltenham to Birmingham Airport transfers.
Choosing your vehicle
Typically, most city transfers are done via Business Class, Standard fits the fourth passenger, and Business XL, which is the people carrier in the range, is the one you would want to choose if you are transporting three people with five to six luggage pieces. First and Executive classes are available if your arrival is important as well as the journey.
Any number beyond five passengers calls for a second vehicle instead of a bigger one, so please let us know the total number when booking.
Group transfers to and from the airport at Birmingham are made in multiple vehicles instead of a minibus; thus, please specify the total number.
