ATMs and money changers
At Birmingham Airport, all exchange offices and most ATMs are operated solely by Travelex, with very unfavourable exchange rates.
You can withdraw money more conveniently from the Barclays ATM located in the public area in the corridor between arrivals and check-in area B.
However, it is most convenient to pay for transport to the centre with your own contactless card without having to withdraw money.
Drinking water
Cold drinking water fountains, where you can fill your own empty bottle for free, are located in many places throughout the airport, including the transit area.
Travelling with children
There are several stations in the transit area of the airport with errand strollers that can be rented for free. However, a deposit is required 1 gbp, which can only be made in cash.
Baby changing rooms are located throughout the airport.
Larger children can be entertained in the SkyZone, where there are playgrounds and small attractions. SkyZones are located in the transit area at departure gates 1-20 and 55.
