I don't know about any one else, but this airport really winds me up.
Living so close you would think it would be really convenient, but I fly a lot and can almost never use it due to the lack of decent destinations or frequent routes I tend to take. The affordability compared to the same routes from other airports is also often astronomical in comparison.
Then you find when you do actually find somewhere you want to go from BHX, the flight times are completely unreasonable (can put up with that) but the days the planes go just don't make sense. Planning a mates stag recently and the destination we wanted to go to was available on two airlines from BHX, but they flew on the exact same days of the week. Completely stupid.
Baggage claims and customs are also a joke, seems they are having issues again today too:
