About Bristol
The largest airport in the South West of England.
Bristol Airport is the South West's main aviation gateway, serving the West Country and South Wales from a single terminal at Lulsgate Bottom. It handles around 10.5 million passengers a year (2024, a record), with a route map dominated by short-haul European leisure plus growing scheduled services to Dubai, Iceland and Eastern Europe.
Carriers are led by easyJet, Ryanair, TUI, Jet2 and KLM (with daily Amsterdam connections opening up the wider world via Schiphol). Bristol's terminal has been progressively expanded over the past decade, with further capacity upgrades planned through the late 2020s.
Geographically the airport sits in undulating north-Somerset countryside. It's reached by the A38, a major artery that gets congested during morning peaks, particularly during the summer travel season.
Getting to BRS
A38 from the M5 (junction 18 or 22), the airport is signposted from both. From Bristol city centre, allow 30 minutes off-peak; from Cardiff, 60 minutes; from Bath, 35 minutes.
There's no train station at the airport. The nearest station is Bristol Temple Meads, with the Airport Flyer (A1) bus running every 10 minutes to the terminal.
The Airport Flyer (A1) connects with central Bristol and Bristol Temple Meads. National Express coaches link to Cardiff, Birmingham, London and the South West.
Cycle storage is available at the terminal, the Festival Way cycle route reaches central Bristol.
How parking works at Bristol
Official car parks are arranged as Drop & Go (forecourt), Express (multi-storey), Silver Zone (longer walk) and Long Stay (5-minute shuttle). All four are operated by the airport itself.
Off-airport operators cluster south of the airport along the A38 and A368 in Wrington and Lulsgate Bottom. Independent rates are typically cheaper than the airport's own Silver Zone, particularly during summer peaks.
Tips travellers wish they'd known
- Silver Zone is the airport's own value option but books up early during school holidays, book independents 14+ days out for cheaper alternatives.
- The A38 north of the airport gets congested from 7-9am, leave 20 minutes earlier than usual on weekday mornings.
- Drop & Go costs £8.50 for up to 10 minutes (raised from £7 on 5 January 2026), £10.50 for 10-20 minutes, and increases sharply beyond. The free option is the Waiting Zone car park at the Car Rental Centre (up to 1 hour free) with a courtesy shuttle to the terminal.
- Off-airport park-and-ride operators along the A368 typically beat on-airport prices by 30-50% for stays of 3+ nights.
- If you're returning late on a Sunday, build in a 15-minute shuttle margin, independent operators see Sunday-evening queues.
