Bristol Airport is served by the Bristol international flyer which is a strand of the coach company called National Express. You are able to travel with National Express from anywhere in the UK to Bristol bus station, where you can connect to this service as opposed to the other option which is to catch the train. The advantages to this are relatively straightforward. The coach, although it has to get to the airport, is able to change its route if there are problems. If there are road works it is very easy to divert and get to the airport another way – something that is simply not possible on a train. National Express coaches operate throughout the South West and South Wales to Bristol Bus Station where you can connect to the Bristol airport flyer, taking you directly to the terminal building.
The coaches are able to facilitate your every need with regular stops at service stations for you to get something to eat, buy a magazine or just stretch your legs – it is not nice to be stuck on a train or bus for a long time without a chance to find something to distract you. The coach is able to accommodate a large amount of luggage per person – 2 bags weighing 20kg each and your hand luggage. You therefore won’t have to go without some of your essentials. Taking the coach also means that you won’t incur the cost of parking – every bit of money you can save in the transport is money you can spend on holiday!

Driving to the airport is by far the best option when you are flying out. The main reason for this is that you are completely in control of your journey and are able to do something if there is a complication. Picture, for example, that you are catching two trains to get to the airport. If only one of these trains is delayed or cancelled (an all too common occurrence that sadly leaves us lagging behind our European neighbours) then it can seriously throw your travel arrangements into disarray. You will end up rushing for your flight and, if you are able to catch it, will be much more stressed than you should be; not the best way for you to start your trip abroad! By driving you avoid all of this potential hassle – you drive to the airport, park and are on the plane early. If there are any difficulties on your journey – road works or excess traffic – you are able to take another route because you are in control of your journey. This makes you a lot less stressed and you will enjoy your flight a lot more.
The car park at Bristol airport is well equipped to be able to accommodate you for the duration of your trip. The price is a lot cheaper than many people expect – far surpassed by the cost of public transport – so it actually works out cheaper to drive. You also have the security of knowing that your car is parked in a secure area that is watched over by a CCTV network that will ensure no harm comes to it.
