Holidays from Bristol Airport

Bristol Airport is easy to reach however you're travelling. By train, connect via the A1 Bristol Flyer from Bristol Temple Meads or the A3 Weston Flyer from Worle Station. The Airport Flyer buses also run regularly from the Transport Interchange, just a short walk from the terminal, with routes to Bristol, Bath, Portishead and Weston-super-Mare — some running 24 hours a day, with fares from just £5 each way. And if you'd rather drive, the airport is easily reached by car, taxi or hire car too.

Yes — Bristol Airport has a range of options to choose from, including short stay, multi-storey and longer-stay parking, depending on how long you're away for. It's worth booking online in advance where you can, and if you're driving yourself, make sure to build in a bit of extra time for parking, check-in and security, especially during busy holiday periods. Book your Bristol Airport parking online today, or call our Sales Team and they'll be happy to help!

Just the one — Bristol Airport operates from a single terminal, so check-in, security, departures and arrivals are all in the same building. It makes things nice and straightforward, though it's still worth checking your airline's information before you travel so you know exactly where to go on the day.

As a general rule, aim to arrive around 2 hours before a short-haul flight and up to 3 hours for long-haul, giving yourself enough time for check-in, bag drop and security. It's always worth double-checking with your airline too, as exact times can vary depending on your destination and whether you're travelling with hold luggage. If you're flying during a busy period like school holidays or over Christmas, it's worth giving yourself a bit of extra buffer.

There's plenty to keep you occupied at Bristol Airport before your flight, with a range of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars to choose from, including Brigg & Stow Bar & Kitchen, the airport's main eatery in the departure lounge, and local favourite Soho Coffee Co. for something a bit different. There's duty free too, with World Duty Free offering savings on well-known brands and local products alike. If you fancy somewhere quieter to relax, the Escape Lounge and the 1903 Lounge are both worth a look, both decorated to make the most of the terminal's natural light. There's also assisted travel support for anyone who needs it, and Fast Track available if you'd rather skip the queues. Just bear in mind that opening times and facilities can vary depending on the season, and the airport's ongoing transformation project means things may change over the next few years, so it's worth checking the airport's latest guidance before you travel.

Yes — Bri Airport provides assistance for anyone who needs a bit of extra help getting through the terminal. Just make sure to arrange this either with us or your airline in advance, then head to the Assisted Travel desk in the main check-in hall when you arrive so the team can help with your journey on the day.
