Trains to Bristol Airport

Getting a train to Bristol Airport is simple, with excellent links from the Bristol Temple Mead Station, and so across Somerset and Gloucestershire.

How to get to Bristol Airport by train

To get to Bristol Airport by train, you first need to travel to Bristol Temple Meads, the train station in the heart of Bristol. There is no Bristol Airport train station, so from Temple Meads need to get the Airport Flyer Express bus service.

The bus takes around 30 minutes and departs every 10 minutes. It runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Although Bristol doesn’t have its own station, this process is very convenient. For this reason, many choose to get a train to Bristol Airport over driving.
