It is all very well and good to tell people that they should fly from Bristol airport. Of course, there are numerous benefits to the airport itself that do draw many thousands of people every year. The service at the airport is fantastic with there being very few queues (the service is very efficient and is quick because of this) and someone always on hand to give you a bit of help should you need it. The departures lounge and arrivals area are state of the art with a large variety of shops and restaurants located throughout the two areas; obviously attractive if you forget to bring something or need a coffee before you fly off. However, it isn’t enough to have such a reputation; all the airports close to Bristol are pretty much the same in that respect. What is needed is a wide range of destinations that are simply not offered anywhere else.

This is certainly the case at Bristol airport, where flights on offer are to destinations that are simply inaccessible from Birmingham or Cardiff. You can hop across the pond to New York or fly over to Malta to soak up some sun. Should you want you can catch a flight to Eastern Europe and Krakow or Kaunas to try and have a holiday with a bit of a twist (Western Europe is quite similar whereas the east offers a completely different culture to experience). Should you choose to fly out from Bristol airport, there is no doubt that you will have a holiday to be remembered.

Bristol Airport Check-In

One of the best things about Bristol is the lack of queues. Check in takes just a few moments, and you’re in. Similarly security only takes a minute or two, and a flight to Amsterdam and the rest of the world that KLM connects to is a fifty five minute hop. After a drink and a sandwich, and a browse of the newspaper, you’re there. Compare this to travelling with BA and you have a two hour minimum journey down the M4, the Severn Bridge toll, expensive car parking at Heathrow and then the long and tiring queues to check in and get through security. Forget Bristol’s slightly tacky ‘charter airport’ feel, it saves you a world of hassle and stress.

The only issue that may be had with check in is if you are using Ryanair. Currently, Ryanair is the only budget airline that is flying out of Bristol which means that a lot of people are competing for flights there. Ryanair only operates using online check in which, theoretically, speeds everything up, yet it can cause more problems than it solves. If you forget to print off you documents, or you lose them on the way to the airport, there is no facility to replace these documents when you are at the airport which means that you could miss your flight or even lose it to someone else! This, however, happens very rarely and despite initial scepticism, it does actually prevent the monotony of queuing and helps to speed up the system somewhat.
