Bag drop for my next flight closes 40 minutes prior to departure...
I also see that MCT for I/I is actually just 45 minutes, which seems strange if every pax needs to go through this process.
the only airports in the UK with an airside transfer route are LHR and MAN
btw, this means that people transiting at any other UK airport need to check whether an ETA is required
if you provide information on airlines / time of day / time of year ... people might be able to provide more advice
there have been various articles recently about building work at BHX resulting in very long security wait times at certain times of the day
