Bristol Airport (IATA: BRS, ICAO: EGGD), at Lulsgate Bottom, on the northern slopes of the Mendip Hills, in North Somerset, is the commercial airport serving the city of Bristol, England, and the surrounding area. It is 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) southwest of Bristol city centre.[2] Built on the site of a former RAF airfield, it opened in 1957 as Bristol (Lulsgate) Airport,[4] replacing Bristol (Whitchurch) Airport as Bristol's municipal airport. From 1997 to 2010, it was known as Bristol International Airport.[5] In 1997, a majority shareholding in the airport was sold to FirstGroup, and then in 2001 the airport was sold to a joint venture of Macquarie Bank and others. In September 2014, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan bought out Macquarie to become the sole owner.
In 2019, it was ranked the eighth busiest airport (overtaking Glasgow International Airport from the previous year) in the United Kingdom, handling over 8.9 million passengers, a 3% increase compared with 2018.[6] A passenger survey carried out in 2015 found that 32.5% of journeys using the airport started or ended in the city of Bristol, 9.6% in Gloucestershire, 24.5% in Somerset and 16.9% in Devon.[7]
Airlines with operating bases at the airport include EasyJet and Ryanair. The airport has a Civil Aviation Authority Public Use Aerodrome Licence (number P432) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers and for flying instruction.
Thank you for this. Flying on my own for the first time. Calmed my nerves knowing what to look for a what to expect.
Where you flying to?
@@MetroMark Turkey 🇹🇷
@@bethsamuel1033 yeah, I was like that the first time I flew by myself, but now I don't stress. I'll be flying to Amsterdam, then to Istanbul, then to Iraq by myself next month
This is my favorite English airport to fly into from Heathrow on infinite flight after everybody’s gone to bed over here in the states. Beautiful little strip, too
Gracias por el video, es de mucha ayuda para quienes van por primera vez a Bristol, como yo.
You're welcome
Nice airport. Easy to navigate and not usually too busy when I go there. Looking forward to visiting again soon.
I remember going on a bus ride to Bristol Airport back in April 2021 when due to Covid travel restrictions there were very few, if any flights. The bus station was deserted and the terminal building seemed to be closed.
Nice to see there is some life in the place again
This was back in July so I imagine it's getting busier now
Great tour
Your breathing was creepy
Thank you
First visit here in 2 weeks, so appreciate this, thanks 👍
no problem
Thanks for the tour! Especially in these times
You're welcome
I think it’s badly designed. There’s that long passage way to the west boarding gates that’s almost half a mile long but they never thought of designing it so they could install travelators. Then for some weird reason the boarding gates to the left you have to go down stairs and a few metres later back up. It’s also one of the very few airports of its size that doesn’t have air bridges.
This airport is not fir for purpose anymore. I travel regularly from Bristol Airport as it is quite local to me, saving on time and travelling expenses. From arriving to the airport outside. I won't comment on the dropping people off in cars and the cost as I haven't done this in a few years. I generally catch the Falcon Bus from Exeter to Bristol Airport which is usually a great reliable and affordable service. However where the bus terminus is located at the airport you have to push all your luggage and wheelchairs uphill. No easy feet if you are not very strong. Then you have to negotiate some steps. Once inside it all looks very organised. After check-in its up the escalator to go through security. This isn't too bad either depending on the length of the queues of course which you would get anywhere. After the Duty Free route you are now in the main waiting area. Chaos begins to become noticeable. There is never enough seating so people end up sitting around on the floors as you are required to turn up at least 2 hours before your flight departs. There are further shops here too. You then have to negotiate more stairs to get upstairs to where the majority of the eateries and drinks are. However if you would like to chill with a pint or a glass of wine before your flight you can think again. Expect to stand in yet another queue for up to an hour!!!! Staff look miserable and are painstakingly SLOOOOW. No urgency to serve their guests and make sure they have a great start to their holiday whatsoever. You will be hard pressed to find a seat after you have made your purchases. On the rare occassion you may find a seat with a table expect to clear the dirty crockery from the previous occupants yourself. Although it could take a while to work out where to place them when you have collected them. Usually for me the floor will suffice. Having thought you had enough time to eat and drink your purchases you will be surprised how the time has been used up just queuing for it in the first place. Bristol Airport does have a Lounge area which you book and pay for prior to arriving at the airport. Although this was not fit for purpose either . They have apparently refurbished it this year. I have yet to try so won't comment on this. There are however lots of TV screens around for you to keep an eye on for your flight updates. But be warned Bristol Airport does not usually make announcements about flights and gate departures so make it your business to find out for yourself. Be prepared for a very long walk to your said gate. However again I think this would apply to many airports. You are then caroled like cattle to the aircraft gate if it has arrived or not. So be prepared for another long stand up queue as everywhere else. On your return flight to Bristol Airport after your wonderful holiday you can expect to negotiate more stairs both upwards and downwards and a long walk. Usually you end up queuing on the stairs with your hand luggage and tired children as the latest electronic readers do not work. After you have tried to insert your passport you are then told to join yet another queue for an actual person to check your passport. Once through passport control you now make your way to the luggage collection. You can expect to wait at least an half hour here trying to spot your suitcase. Then we think we are home free just one more doorway to get through - NO there are 3 and usually security waiting to check all your luggage for contraband items. Once outside you can negotiate all the steps again and the downhill slopes to the bus terminus. There is a waiting room provided there with toilets and a vending machine. This is great when it is raining and cold. All in all it seems Bristol Airport is all about the money you are spending at their airport to the total exclusion of your airport experience with them or your comfort.
That's some dissertation you've just wrote there
@@MetroMark I had just arrived home from the flight from hell and needed to off load. I do stand by my comments though as I have just read them again. I hope others have a better experience that I do. Many thanks for the video .

You're welcome
Bristol airport is my favourite

@@MetroMark yes
@@jessie-lou7786 You should check out Istanbul airport. It's totally palatial
I need to know if visa is required for a simple stopover of less than 5 hours at the Bristol airport
From Rzeszów airport to Bristol airport I went only for a weekend to England 🇵🇱🇬🇧
How did you like Bristol?
Are there ATMs on arrival? Can duty free be purchased on arrival?
I really don't know. I've never flown into Bristol. I've only flown out of there once
Where about is the ocs disabled assistants desk in Bristol Airport
I assume its on the ground floor
Mate, I'm sorry I don't know. I've only been there once
It’s my first time traveling there and I want to know if there are taxis outside the airport? Thank you 😊
You can take an Arrow Car or a Bristol Airport Taxi outside of the airport. There's also a bus stop where you can get buses into the city centre. I've never used the taxis but Bristol Airport Taxis have a better rating
@@MetroMarkHola, muchas gracias por el video. Me podrías decir qué es un arrow car y cuanto es la tarifa de los taxis por kilómetro , por favor.
@@marlen9345 No sé acerca de los taxis en Bristol. Solo he estado en Bristol una vez. Sé que puedes tomar el autobús al centro de la ciudad desde al lado del aeropuerto.
@@marlen9345 Arrow Cars es una empresa de taxis de Bristol. Nunca los he usado asi que no se cuanto cobran
Is the fast track security no longer open?
Not sure, mate. I've only flown out of there once
Est ce que l escale dans cet aéroport avec une visa sheingene est possible?
Where are you travelling from? U.K. is not part of Schengen or the EU, so I think that you would need to present a passport here
my work place,
Why are the duty free staff REFUSING CASH PAYMENTS?
No warnings and no signage.
I understand it is illegal to refuse cash payments for an item unless our unelected Tory overlords approves this new standing order to wrestle even more public control away from their banks. Utterly unacceptable.
I have no idea, mate. I never buy anything in the duty free section
