United MileagePlus (Consolidated) - Arrival Facilities - BHX

Hi,

I am booked with my partner on a Business "Z" ticket LHR-IAH-LIM/GIG-IAH/IAH-EWR-BHX.

Are arrivals facilities (showers etc) available at BHX?

If so, does anyone know where they are/who supplies them?

Do I need paperwork to access them and if so, where would I get this?

Does the fact that I am just a general member (I assume that is what "kettle" refers to :D) preclude me from these facilities?

Thanks for your help...

There are no United or *A arrivals facilities at Birmingham. You might check the airport website to see if there are any pay shower facilities you can use. In fact, there are no *A lounges at all at BHX...even for departures.

There are showers at EWR so your best bet is probably to use those before boarding your connection.

There is a Novotel hotel directly in the airport - they should be able to provide a day room, or give you access to the fitness centre for a reasonable charge.

I got a room at the Novotel until noon for free. Had to let them know at EWR so they could reserve ahead of time. When the BHX agent greeted plane over PA system, they asked for my by name.
