Bristol Airport lies at Lulsgate, in the hills south-west of the city, and is the main airport of south-west England. It has a single terminal and is a major easyJet base. It is the most convenient airport for Bristol, Bath, Somerset with Glastonbury and Wells, and for continuing to Devon and Cornwall. Being on high ground, it is sometimes affected by fog.

Practical tips
- Documents: most visitors need a passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for before departure (see documents and ETA).
- Drop-off and pick-up: almost every UK airport charges even for a short stop outside the terminal; pre-booked car parks are cheaper.
- Security: rules on liquids and laptops in hand luggage depend on each airport's scanners; check the official website before you travel.
- Payments: contactless cards are accepted almost everywhere, including on trains and buses.
