Pick-up
Meeting you on the way back
Arrivals are met in the terminal arrivals area. The airport sits outside the city, so the collection point is straightforward to reach.
Recommended departure times
When we suggest setting off
Allow around five and a half hours from the Nene Valley for a short-haul departure, more if the flight leaves before 08:00 and the route passes the M42 or M5 peak sections.
Bristol is served by a single road approach that can queue at peak holiday times.
The terminal is compact with short walking distances.
Overnight and very early departures avoid most of the motorway congestion.
