From Thursday 14 March 2024: View from eastern end of the terminal airside where the access to the terrace is. The piles of earth on the right are probably the height of a six storey building or so when approaching from the A38, so quite a lot going on there.

Just passport control, and there's a special short connection lane too. After passport control there is a section for baggage screening to the right, but I always just head straight out towards the gates and that's never been a problem. I tend to travel relatively light though, hand baggage...

There's a fly-through video here as well: Which confirms my suspicions about the canopy for the bus gates: it doesn't extend far enough to allow you to board/disembark without getting soaked in the rain. Who designs this stuff? Clearly people who don't use public transport themselves. Would it...

I'd also be interested in knowing what they're planning to do about the Border Control area, which seems too small to cope these days. There wasn't a single arrival in the last 12 months where I didn't have to wait 10-20 minutes in the western walkway or central walkway to even access the stairs...

I have no insights there, but I would guess that once the new transport hub is open the airport flyer operation will move there as well. At least it will be just a short walk to the terminal across the bridge then, without the need to lug bags up multiple flights of stairs and across a busy...

So happy that the A1 airport flyer now drops people off right in front of the terminal building again, and picks them up there as well. Makes a huge difference in terms of experience. Big thank you to whoever sorted that out. Now we just need to get the airport flyer back to pre-pandemic...

The construction site for this is massive, basically engulfing most of the remaining surface car parking north of the terminal if I saw that right. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to snap some pics earlier when passing it on the A1 bus, and I guess there isn't much to see yet anyway besides...

Does the tweet not show up as part of the post for you? (Edit: I just tried in a private window, and see it doesn't. My apologies, I didn't realise. For me it shows the tweet as part of the post.)

Bristol Airport @BristolAirport A1 FLYER BUS RELOCATING TO THE TERMINAL FORECOURT From 00:20 on Sun 29th Oct, the A1 Flyer Bus will be operating from the terminal forecourt for all arriving and departing passengers until further notice To view the A1 Flyer Bus timetable, visit >>...

Not impressed with the fast track service yesterday around 16.30. Took 20 minutes to get through, with performance/throughput monitors saying 29 minutes wait time in general (I assume that's the average wait time for the non-fast track queue).

So when can we expect an application for the next stage towards 15mppa to go in? Probably need to do that pretty soon in order to get it through by 2030? ;)

I wonder how many passengers are connecting. Was quite surprised to learn that in case of Brussels airlines it was about 90% or so (this was the number for one particular flight, don't know if it matches the general average).

Personally I think airline-specific threads per airport subforum are fine and match exactly what I'm interested in. I personally don't care about what Wizz is doing in, say, Cardiff or Birmingham or Edinburgh, I just want to know what's happening at my local airport :) I wouldn't want to...

Well spotted, didn't realise. Although that's not really what I'm confused about. I mean an elderly person with luggage, or a family with kids, might well take a bit longer to get up to the terminal than me with a small bag of hand luggage. What I'm wondering is where the extra 10 minutes in...

I noticed a curious airport flyer journey time inconsistency: According to the airport flyer timetable, it takes ca. 18 minutes from West Street / Parson Street to the Airport (this seems right). Then another 5-10 minute walk from the bus station down at the MSCP up to the terminal. Now, if I...

It's really nice. Like a mini supermarket basically, and it's landside. It's just nice to know you can grab some basics on the way home even when arriving late at night. Best recent addition to the airport!

Looks like not all A1 bus drivers are up to speed on how ticketing works to the airport. Asked for a return on the way out. Driver says they don't do returns any more. Tells me to just tap my card, and how it will charge now for a single, and then on the way back it will only charge the...

According to this article the A1 airport flyer service is due to increase in frequency. And not a minute too soon. Mind-boggling how it only runs every 20-30 mins during peak summer holiday season. I have to say I'm close to giving up on the airport flyer after using it for over a decade, no...

Once per week?! :ROFLMAO:

I don't know if I agree with the idea that Bristol's hilly cityscape makes tall buildings look incongruous. I think it could make tall buildings fit in more naturally actually, like for example the Bath Rd high-rise being built at the moment (unpopular opinion, I know). Without the hills it...
