Bristol Airport

International airport about eight miles southwest of Bristol city centre, near Lulsgate Bottom. Mostly serves European routes, with heavy Ryanair and easyJet presence; useful as a quieter alternative to Heathrow for the second leg of a UK + Europe trip. Buses (the A1 Airport Flyer) and taxis run to Temple Meads station and the city centre; allow about 30 minutes by road in normal traffic.
