Peak season:
The most active part of the year in regards to tourism is from May to September. This is when Birmingham is blessed with more sun and warmer weather. Cheap flights to Birmingham are more expensive during this time but it isn’t impossible to get a good deal, especially if you book your flight tickets early. October sees a couple of events too, making flights to Birmingham more expensive but giving you great festivals to attend. Make sure you bring a raincoat though as October can be unpredictable with the weather.
Off Season:
November through to February is cold and dark. The nights draw in a lot quicker and the temperatures plummet compared to the summer. Tourism is very low during the winter though so you can find the cheapest flights to Birmingham then, and a visit over Christmas can be great due to the German Market which normally takes place on the run up to the big day.
