Distinguish Birmingham International from New Street
Birmingham Airport connects to Birmingham International railway station through the Air-Rail Link. This is a different collection point from Birmingham New Street in the city centre. The airport says the link reaches the first floor of the terminal, so a train arrival still includes a station-to-terminal movement if your meeting is at the airport.
Put the station name from each passenger’s ticket in your group coach request. For an airport arrival followed by an exhibition or hotel transfer, provide the destination entrance and keep any later New Street collection as a separate stop.

Prepare your Birmingham journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Birmingham Airport (BHX) or East Midlands Airport (EMA), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Birmingham hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- An airport arrival with several stops: If your flight is booked at Birmingham Airport (BHX), use Wolverhampton arrival planning and Coventry arrival planning for the separate hotel or venue addresses. Say whether the enquiry covers one continuous itinerary or individual local transfers, with passengers and bags for each leg.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.

Your Birmingham transport questions
Is Birmingham International the same station as Birmingham New Street?
No. Birmingham International is the station linked to the airport by the Air-Rail Link. New Street is a separate city-centre station. Use the full station name when arranging a vehicle collection.
How do BHX and EMA compare for a Birmingham transfer?
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is about 11 km from the Birmingham map reference in a straight line; East Midlands Airport (EMA) is about 55 km. These figures are not road distances. Base the enquiry on the booked flight and actual destination address; road access and collection arrangements are checked separately.
Can one enquiry cover groups landing at different airports near Birmingham?
List each airport, flight number, arrival time and passenger count separately. If one group lands at BHX and another at EMA, say whether they need separate vehicles or whether you want a combined itinerary assessed. Do not assume a single vehicle can meet both schedules.
What happens if the destination after landing is Wolverhampton?
Use Wolverhampton as the actual destination rather than entering only Birmingham as the wider area. Add the hotel or venue address and luggage count so the quote covers the requested end point.
How do the Wolverhampton and Coventry stops compare from Birmingham?
From the Birmingham geographic reference, Wolverhampton is approximately 19.0 km away in a straight line and Coventry is 27.6 km away. A further destination reference is Worcester, approximately 39.1 km from Birmingham. Compare the time needed at each visit before choosing the pickup order. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
