Bristol Airport Recensioni 

Expensive parking, 45 mins to get from parking to terminal, no seats in terminal, dirty toilets, bus ride from airport to plane, slow passport, checks and up down stairs everywhere. Horrible airport.

Just returned from Bristol Airport and never again. What a fiasco from start to finish! Queues everywhere, even in the early hours. Over priced parking, and everything inside the airport. Aircon was pretty non existent, making the airport so hot..getting to the plane was a nightmare. Having to stand outside waiting for the bus with no shade. Flights were good and on time but getting back to baggage collection was worse than Gatwick. With 4 adults and 5 children the walk up and down stairs through what felt like a rat run was awful.. the old man who was sorting car keys out for parking was rude and horrible customer service. He really needs some training. Anyway, won't ever be going from Bristol again

I drive 2 hours to Heathrow to avoid this airport regularly and I am not a man who lives to drive.
The place is vastly overcrowded. The design is poor. The security cue is a rip off. Almost everything about the airport seems designed to make the journey as miserable as possible.
I hope and pray they can expand and do something about the mess that has to be one of the worst airport experiences in the UK.

The only reason 1 star is given is it’s the only way to get a flight to my destination.
Parking is extortionate , as is dropping off, so overcrowded when inside which is surely a high risk situation.. Unable to sit anywhere due to sheer numbers of passengers , with many having to stand or lean on walls, no concern for elderly or vulnerable passengers comfort, expensive outlets for refreshments and overall a very poor experience.

We used Bristol Airport about 10 years ago and thought what a great airport. Easy to navigate and spacious.
However on using this Airport for a return holiday flight last week thought it was awful. On our departure flight 17/06/26 Security checks badly organised and slow, restaurants all full with people using the seating to wait as very little general seating. On our return journey 27/06/26 the wait for Border control was from the runaway drop off through numerous corridors, stairs up and down just appalling!
Also traffic congestion leaving the airport very slow and awkward.
Will not choose this airport again!

This airport used to be user friendly. Not any more.
Not enough seating, ridiculously long walks to the gates which include stairs. Shocking design!
When you return they might put you on bus from the airplane.
So last night our flight was two hours late. When we landed there were no buses available for ten minutes. Then a bus turned up. You'd think it would drop you near to the passport control. Oh no! Dropped off for another long walk with more stairs- so dangerous with people pushing and all their bags. Then a great queue at passport. Some e-gates closed but made to wait for them despite some of the passport officers sat in their booths twiddling their thumbs. This was at 2.30 in the morning!!
Then eventually we went to the taxi office which I had pre booked. We were late but they had my flight number. Had to queue behind several people who hadn't booked. Only one staff.
Then waited for the driver to walk from the transport hub despite being messaged with his car information. What a complete waste of time! There should be an office in the transport hub where you can register your booking at a machine. But instead there is a grotty cabin . Yuck!
If this is progress I'll stay in the past please!

We as a family travelled with Jet2 from Bristol who were remarkable with their service and efficiency, totally blew our mind. However after our speedy check in it all went down hill. Bristol Airport staff are non existant, No information desk about the airport. Ladies and gents toilets at both ends of the terminal prior to security shut off due to cleaning and maintenance. Little or no seating available around check in areas unless you sit in a coffee bar etc, which you need to pay extortionate prices for a simple drink. attended the Bristol airport luggage desk near arrivals to purchase an adapter and the lady behind the counter had her head in her hands playing a game on her phone. proceeded to security which was very lengthly and arrived in the departure lounge and "Oh My God" I could of cried, no seating, people sat on floors, bars chocca block, so we stood for over 1 hour 50 minutes until one of my children started to feel unwell and we had to sit on the floor. no air conditioning, i dint want to board, I just wanted to take my family home. seeing the friendly jet2 team at the gate lifted our spirits.

Bristol Airport seemed to be money lead with NO customer care from the staff of the airport we saw..... Sorry Bristol, NO MORE.... Just booked our next holiday with Jet2 from Birmingham to avoid such a disgrace. I wish I had a pleasantry for your airport but I dont.

Long corridors, stairs lead up and then down and up again. There are no escalators. Disinformation about gates. Poor air conditioning. Very expensive parking. The toilets are dirty and smelly. The messages are loud and incomprehensible. Horrible Airport

Do yourselves a favour… miss this airport at all costs. Limited seating, limited restroom facilities and when you do find a toilet (that isn’t broken), it’s disgusting. Car park is good though! Will never use again.

Amazingly on the way out to Majorca on 14/6/26 I have a straight face review on the machine instead of several angry faces. Early flight, still the same carnage but at least the staff were marginally more polite when my liquids were tested and it's for our safety so fair enough. A smile would be nice. On the way back horrendous - they are "improving" so miles to walk and stairs to climb, no lifts in sight - apparently you have to ask on the plane if you need assistance. I don't need assistance, I have COPD so can't climb stairs but am not disabled and this should be made clear. Parked in Silver Zone where buses used to stop outside - not any more, more walking to the Transport Exchange or similar, lugging our bags, to find more queues and a woman screaming at us to find our green ticket. Finally collapsed exhausted on a Henry Moore-style bench outside Silver Zone reception while my husband went in to retrieve car key and was burnt through my dress by the boiling hot material - those benches are dangerous. Bristol Airport never learns from feedback and seems to seek to make the whole experience longer, more laborious and difficult

Overpriced parking £200 for 1 week, no seating in airport as so many people there

Stood in airport now.veey little seating unless you are in a restaurant. Hundreds of people sat on the floor.very poor

What complete chaos- nowhere sit, over over-crowding. Had to head to any gate to sit down.

I fly a lot and live just north of Bristol. However, I will avoid Bristol Airport as much as possible. IMHO it is the worst airport around. Which, I believe is mainly due to its remote location and its total monopoly of transport options, parking, etc. Hence, it charges a premium for all aspects of your journey. Furthermore, it has too many flights clustered up at specific times. This morning, case in point, we arrived at 5am for a 7:15 flight. It took over 90mins to get thru' bag drop and (fast track) security. The place was absolute chaos. AVOID Bristol Airport if you can.

Awful airport, what a shambles. We arrived at 3.30 am for our flight at 6am. Just one flight of at least 11 departing at the same time. All this expansion, but no seating available while we hung around for over 2 hours. Lots buy drinks then just sit on the seats at the different cafes until their flights are called. Then it's a long walk to a boarding gate. Coming back is even worse to get to baggage claim area. I'd advise anyone to use another airport if possible. This one is a joke!

My friend and I have to have assisted travelling. We came back from Malta and due to such disorganisation ended up struggling and having to walk from the plane right to where our taxi was picking us up. There were not enough staff to help with wheelchairs, we felt completely abandoned. It was a terrible experience.

The shambles at Bristol Airport continues!
Plane pusher breaks down so miss our slot for Keffalonia by minutes. Now have to sit on plane for over 2 1/2 hours for new air traffic control slot.Absolute joke. 😡

Purchased fast track for security. The lane was closed and they routed us to the end of the normal queue.

When I requested a refund, I was told that when the queue is closed, they always route fast track people to the front. This is wrong, just a lie to refuse a refund for the service they failed to provide.

Ethan helped me throughout the whole process and took the anticipated stress out of the equation for which I am extremely grateful, thanks Ethan 👏👏

I want to preface this by saying I know its a tall order to call this the worst airport but I'm a seasoned traveler who frequently travels for work. I've been to some bad airports and have had some bad experiences, but this by far takes the cake.

So this morning I got to the airport at 4:15 AM for a 6:15 AM flight. When you arrive at the silver zone airport parking you have to “sign in” and give your key by dropping it in the kiosk, where they will then move your vehicle from the spot you parked at to a different spot when you come back. This is insane to me in the first place, and there were so many people there this morning, I waited 15 minutes just to drop off my key.

Then I get to the terminal by boarding the bus. There are insufficient luggage racks to hold everyone’s luggage, and people get crammed in where there is next to no room with all the extra luggage that’s rolling around on the floor. But fair enough, it’s a short trip to the terminal, it’s bearable but it could be better.

So I arrive at the terminal, luckily the airline I was flying there wasn’t a queue but the EasyJet line had a massive queue of around 200 people waiting to check in… at 4:30 AM.

Then I check my bags, drop them off, and go to security, another massive queue. There is a kiosk where you can pay something like 15 quid to short cut the queue, it’s a racket if you ask me. 

I finally get to the security checkpoint and my bag gets flagged for inspection. There are 4 workers screening bags, there are at least 20 bags that need to be screened. So I’m waiting, 20 minutes pass and they finally get to my bag. But they didn’t want to look at my bag, they wanted to look at my wallet for some reason. They take a look at my wallet because it has coins in it (less than 10 seconds) and let me leave. 

Then I get to the terminal, I have to go through a large duty free section before getting to my gate that meanders around. The path is just big enough for 4 people to walk side by side and people are slow. Then as you exit, you pass through a restaurant section, then up the stairs, then back track the opposite direction up stairs through another restaurant section that I HAVE to go through just to get to my gate. There is a set of stairs that leads up but it’s blocked off for emergency egress, and there is a lift next to the blocked off stairs that has another massive queue. 

It took so long that I was second to last before boarding and literally 3 minutes before gate closure, flight time 6:15 AM.

So on my return flight back I have to pick up my car from the Silver Zone parking. As stated above, you park your car and then they will move it again. I get my key and head to the parking lot to find a parking attendant relaxing in the car next to mine with the engine running. He notices me, abruptly turns the vehicle off and leaves. If that wasn't bad enough, when I got in my vehicle I all of my mirrors, steering wheel, and seat were moved!

And the cherry on top? If you just want to get dropped off and not deal with Silver Zone it will cost £8.50 JUST TO DROP SOMEONE OFF AT THE AIRPORT! Literally extortion.
