It's essential to confirm the terminal prior to getting to the airport when you depart or have a transfer to another flight, because the terminals in bigger airports could be a long distance from each other and travellers often require extra time to get to the necessary one. Birmingham Airport has 2 Terminals.

Terminal 1 – Air France, Czech Airlines, Emirates, KLM, Lufthansa and others

Terminal 2 – Aer Lingus, British Airways, Brussels Airlines and others
