Our ongoing upgrade is going to change your airport for the better, as we install the latest security technology and overhaul the terminal.
It might look and feel very different, but we'll get you moving as quickly as we possibly can.
What this means for your journey
Our upstairs space is currently significantly reduced, so you'll be waiting and walking through unfamiliar areas in the airport. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean there are longer wait times. Our new walking routes have wayfinding signage to help you on your way, and our friendly customer experience staff will always be on hand to help.
Prepare ahead - our top tips for customers
Each airline has its own check in time. Customers are reminded to turn up in line with when their check in opens. This detail can be found on their booking.
Customers travelling with Jet2 or TUI can drop their bags off the day before, and on the day they travel, head straight to security.
Check in Zones in the terminal:
- ➡Zone A for Jet2
- ➡Zone D for Emirates
- ➡Zones B & C for all other airlines
Please leave all compliant liquids and electricals in your hand luggage. Customers should follow these instructions:
- Liquids, pastes and gels, up to 100ml should be left in hand luggage during the security search.
- All electricals to remain in hand luggage during the security search.
- When going through security, please ensure all items are out of pockets including phones, keys, coins, and tissues etc, and remove all belts - watches can be left on.
Things are changing for the better
In June 2024, BHX will unveil its new Next-Generation Security system, which has been designed to deliver a speedier and simpler pre-flight experience for customers. The new-look security area will be capable of serving significantly more customers per hour at peak times.
