    We paid £178.00 to park at Bristol Airport for 5 days 😩Train travel from here would be tricky but we have family in the south east who would let us park. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Yes, Bristol airport should really have been at the old Filton aerodrome - near the M4 and GWR. But, yep, NIMBYS... so now they are stuck with an airport with terrible transport links and v limited ability to take long haul aircraft. (A joint Cardiff/Bristol airport would have made even more sense).
