Flying from Birmingham
Birmingham serves the Midlands and is the UK's seventh-busiest airport, with strong Ryanair and Jet2 short-haul leisure networks plus full-service connections via KLM, Lufthansa and Aer Lingus to global hubs. Emirates, Qatar and Air India operate the long-haul slots. The terminal connects to Birmingham International station — eight minutes by train to Birmingham New Street — which makes it one of the better-connected UK airports for rail passengers.
Arriving in Crete
Heraklion Airport is 4 km east of central Heraklion, the largest city in Crete. Bus 1 runs every 15 minutes to the city centre. The May–October leisure schedule is intense; winter capacity drops sharply but doesn't disappear. Crete's size means you can fly into Heraklion (HER) or Chania (CHQ) — match the airport to your accommodation cluster to save the 2-hour cross-island drive.
