bristol airport

Bristol Airport recommends passengers arrive at least two hours ahead of their scheduled time of departure to ensure all of these essential processes can be completed.

We endeavour to make your journey through the airport as quick and efficient as possible, but this may take longer when flying at the busiest time, between 06:00 and 07:30. Bristol Airport cannot be held responsible for missed flights resulting from late arrival at the airport.

1) Ways to check-in

Online Check-In

Many of our airlines offer online check-in and bag drop facilities including easyJet and Ryanair. Passengers are advised to check the details on your flight confirmation email for how to check in. On the day of your flight simply visit the bag drop desk or head straight to security with your printed boarding card.

We have a set of six self service kiosks as you enter the terminal for the following airlines; Air France, KLM, and Air Southwest.

At the airport: Check-In Desk

On arrival to the airport check the information screens for the correct check-in desk. Once you have checked in we recommend you go straight to security as most of our restaurants, bars and shops are after this point.
