I've traveled a lot over the past year, and I have to say Birmingham is one of the friendlier airports I have to go through. The renovations have been a huge plus.Upvoted 1 week ago
Scot Raymond HanleySeptember 8, 2013The airport has been renovated. Any tips prior to 2013 are no longer valid. That being said, local fare includes Jim and Nicks BBQ. If you have time, try their Pork plate for a taste of southern BBQ.
Ernest SvensonJune 17, 2013Of all the airports I've ever had to make a rapid descent, emergency landing at, this is the best. And the $6 meal voucher that Delta gave us covered half of the meal at Chick-Fil-A. Sweet!
ElizabethOctober 18, 2015Such a clean and easy airport. If you're flying Delta, head to concourse F for the best sky lounge with a rooftop access area to pass time during long layovers
Only need to be here an hour before flight. Not a busy airport.- Brian StraussAugust 16, 2016Very easy to get in and out of. Extra bonus points for the on-site rental car facility and the Jim N' Nicks BBQ.
The downstairs Starbucks is open until 11pm. Pre-Security. Of course, you can't take food or drink through the TSA checkpoint.
Unlike most big city airports- you really DO need to use a quart sized bag for your 3-1-1 liquids. They are REALLY nice if you "forget." So be nice back:)
The renovations are beautiful! Birmingham is really stepping it up. Make sure to stop by Jim N Nicks if you have time to eat! The catfish is the best!
Kathryn SolerNovember 28, 2014Beautiful greenery art work on the concourse. It soothes my soul in a natural way.
Since the remodel, it's a pleasure to fly into Birmingham. Make sure to hit up Good People Brewing in concourse A.
Fellow native Birminghamians, let your voice be heard. I can live with having such limited direct flights, but we shouldn't have to pay the same as ports that offer a sufficient # of DF's!! Chaps me!
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportSeptember 9, 2013If you are traveling into Birmingham for Empowerment Week, be sure to check out the many options for ground transportation:
FBO makes it super easy for a drop off or fuel spot!! Lots of parking for people meeting you.
Joey IngramFebruary 5, 2015They have added some nice eating selections with Good People Brewing Co. And Jim n' Nicks BBQ. TSA is always a pleasure here.
Delta Base ATL but home sweet home for 7 years as a F/A Crown room nice view anyone welcome <3- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM)February 21, 2014How do you know if you are selected for TSA Pre✓™? Here’s what to look for on your boarding pass.
- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportJune 6, 2012Want to have a smooth transition through the TSA checkpoint? Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
ConnorMay 23, 2015Morgan Freeman announces airport information. For Alabama or Auburn Merch go to concourse C for a store that has a much larger selection rather than Hudson Stores
LarryJanuary 7, 2019Quick an easy too check in an get too your gates an also the same when arrive, quick trip too baggage and out the door.
Megan BrownMay 9Take a little time and learn something about Civil Rights! Nice exhibit at gate C-1.
Wonderful airport right in the heart of Birmingham.
Stephanie SimonSeptember 1, 2014Great airport! Clean, fast security and good food options (Jim 'n Nick's, Good People).- ConnorMay 15, 2015If you want to get Alabama or Auburn memorabilia go to Terminal C to the large store rather than a Hudson Shop. Morgan Freeman's recorded voice plays in this airport to tell you about airport safety.
Wow! Welcome to the 21st century BHM. New concourse A & B look like a modern airport with food & shops AFTER you go thru security! Finally!- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportMay 16, 2012The Cell Phone Lot is a parking area provided for drivers waiting to pick up arriving passengers. This lot is a free service with no time limit. The Cell Phone Lot is located on Airline Drive
Carrie BoothApril 17, 2013If you're still craving BBQ there's a Jim'n'Nicks at the airport...you can even have pulled pork for breakfast!
Subomi AJanuary 31, 2013The turkey & cheddar with cucumber sandwich from Starbucks is pricey but just what I needed for the long day ahead.
For the first day of operations the new bhm is very nice. Lots more choices than 5BUCKS for coffee. And better food selections.
Grab a drink at Good People to relax before your flight!
Most of these tips are outdated with the new concourse. Plenty to eat inside. Enjoy the free wifi and plentiful outlets.- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportApril 25, 2012Some airlines may stop checking bags up to 30 minutes prior to departure and begin the boarding process earlier in order to comply with these new federal regulations.
Leigh RawlsOctober 14, 2013Very clean and there's a free play place for kids. Also, the PSA announcer sounds like Morgan Freeman.- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportApril 11, 2012Our interactive terminal maps are great to use when trying to pinpoint airport terminals and amenities.http://flybirmingham.com/passenger-terminal.html
Marissa MenardJanuary 17, 2014Parking garage is straight out of a Saw movie and you'll starve to death in the terminal. BUT free wifi and takes less than 10mins to get through security usually
TSA lines are relatively short. A few good restaurants. Friendly open atmosphere.
Security is pretty fast an hour early is good and plenty of time for couple beers. Live life™
Jon DarveauJanuary 5, 2015Nice little airport, security is pretty easy and generally laid back atmosphere
Easy in. Easy out. Cell phone lot very close to terminal but sometimes exceeds capacity.- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportSeptember 4, 2012Did you travel through BHM this weekend? Please tell us how BHM is performing by taking a short passenger survey. http://ow.ly/drQ2p
Curtis FaulkApril 13, 2013Try the new Good People bar in the airport. Excellent locally brewed beer.- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportApril 9, 2012Did you use #BHM to travel during Easter weekend? Did we exceed your expectations? #BHM values your opinion, visit
- Best airport in the world to come home to, but bummer taking off from because each terminal is secured, and then no Starbucks or drinks?
Jason SkawkFebruary 7, 2014While Mortal Kombat is a very good game, I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.
TylerFebruary 25, 2013If your flying out at 6am on a Monday be here early because the line is crazy long, to get through security!- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM)August 14, 2014United and Southwest passengers now arrive and depart on Concourse C
John DinkelMarch 29, 2013New concourse is open and now the food choices are great. Way to step up your game BHM!
The bar at the end of The terminal (concourse C) always has a good pre-flight drink to offer...and personal pizzas!
Darryl HarrisApril 17, 2013The new concourse is very nice. It's a great improvement on the tired old BHM airport- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportJune 26, 2012Haven't traveled in awhile? Here are some great travelling tips.
