Bristol Airport uses one terminal for all flights. The building is very compact and has been under capacity for some time, especially in the morning peak hours.

Therefore, be prepared for a shortage of seats, even after passing through security.

Queues for security can take up to 30 minutes, as can passport control on arrival from abroad.

Transfer between flights

While no airlines offer guaranteed transfers at Bristol Airport, with dozens of low-cost airline routes, travellers often plan their own connections here.

Even if you only have hand luggage, you always have to go through passport control to the public area of the terminal and check in again.

In total, the transfer procedure can take up to 60 minutes. To ensure you also have a buffer for any delays, we do not recommend allowing less than 150 minutes for your transfer in Bristol.
