- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM)September 4, 2013Forgot where you parked? Don't worry. BHMAirport Operations can help you locate your car. 205-599-0726
Shamara B.March 11, 2013If you can help it, avoid early flights through this airport. In an effort to do the right thing, you'll find yourself at the airport before the employees.
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportMay 30, 2012Airport Remote Parking: $1/hour or $10.00/day The remote lot is intended for passenger parking their vehicles for an extended amount of time.
Marla H.August 31, 2014Very nice AP but the baggage claim is slow. Plus they just shoot out your baggage without a care. Make sure nothing valuable is in there.
Many upgrades to airport during COVID. Heavier traffic but more accommodating.
David AustinMay 4, 2013Get here early enough (1.5 hrs) so you won't have to wait for ever to check in
Megan BrownMay 9, 2024If you’re eating at red mountain don’t wait just seat yourself! It’s about the only option!
The new section of the airport is really great. So modern!!
Melissa BentonMarch 14, 2013Fast and easy airport to get through. Only need to be here an hour ahead of time
So far very pleased with the new terminal! Very nice!
Skyler McKinleySeptember 26, 2010Really simple airport. You can get through security and board within 10 minutes of arriving. Also, the intercom voice sounds like Leo's secretary from the West Wing.
Put a smile on or your will stand out. People are friendly
Jason FisherApril 21, 2012The smallest airport I've been to so far, but the cool thing is they have free wifi throughout the whole airport. ✈
New sections of the airport are open and looking awesome! Bonus: no more Tarmac walks in the rain!- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportAugust 22, 2012The Rental Car Facility can be found on the ground level of the parking facility across from baggage claim.(
wm. dexter jonesDecember 21, 2011try the smoked, pulled pork sandwich at the Sam Adams spot (see the photo)...yummy!
This is the 5th time I've arrived 2 hrs early "just in case" and left waiting.....it's the Monday before X-mas; this airport is NEVER busy. Be here one hour ahead instead, don't be like me!- Susanna PaytonApril 3, 2013The new terminal is half way finished & looks promising! Jim n Nicks BBQ is excellent!
- wm. dexter jonesDecember 21, 2011southwest might be the best In the business...52.5 lbs, no charge. Delta would've hit me for at least $40 for that.
- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportApril 5, 2012Birmingham tourism information can be found at the Information desk on the ground level near baggage claim. The Information desk can be reached at 599-0500.
I like this airport but the Fox News stuff has to go.
In response to the last tip that just appeared--Starbucks is at the end of Terminal C.
Jonathon TaylorMay 31, 2024There’s nothing wrong with the airport, but getting out by Uber is practically impossible especially late at night
Kara Lynn M.July 19, 2011Delta had great customer service here! Flight got canceled, I was rebooked in 10mins, flight departed early, and NO baggage fees! :)
Monday mornings are the only time I would suggest you get there an hour+ before your flight.- Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International AirportApril 5, 2012Please pardon the construction, BHM is building a better tomorrow for our passengers and visitors. For more info on the construction visit Read more
Headed to NY for a week of meeting & setting up new business team. Exciting stuff!!
They are doing construction so all flights are going through one terminal right now so long security lines during peak times
It seems the only place in terminal C to get a bottled coke/soda/pop is all the way down across from Starbucks
Frequent travelers- Leave extra time for security. No first class line, no Clear lane. They do have TSA Pre-Check.
David CaldwellDecember 25, 2010Don't count on security being quick. Only one magnetometer per checkpoint. At peak times (like Sunday or Monday after Thanksgiving), it's a bear.
Ian TaylorOctober 8, 2012Pretty fast check point . I have to say that it is the fastest I've been through
Food is limited even BEFORE security. Super short security lines though. You get through in under ten minutes. Least I always have.
New Sam Adams bar now open on C concourse, no more smoking area on C now so have to go to the curb outside security
Leslie AnneApril 9, 2012No lines no need to get here early. Nice change to all the other airports I've been in
The restroom by the Concourse C business center is clean and empty!
Chuck OlsenSeptember 15, 2012Make sure your airport taxi takes credit cards if that's important to you. I didn't find out until I reached the hotel.
