Tips that make a difference

  1. Compare the four base airlines

    Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair and TUI all have bases at Birmingham, so popular holiday routes often have more than one airline. Check each one.

  2. Price the bags, not the seat

    Low-cost fares often exclude hold bags and cabin bags beyond a small under-seat bag. Add what you need before comparing.

  3. Be flexible on days

    Midweek departures and shoulder seasons are often cheaper than Friday and Saturday in school holidays.

  4. For long haul, compare hubs

    Dubai, Doha, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt and Dublin all connect from BHX. A one-stop trip from Birmingham can beat the cost of getting to Heathrow.

  5. Count the trip to the airport

    Parking and drop-off fees add up. Compare the train via the free Air-Rail Link with pre-booked parking.

Next steps: parking options, the train to the airport and the liquids rule at BHX.
