The South West's busiest airport sits on a hill south of Bristol, with no railway station. Instead a 24-hour electric express bus runs to Temple Meads. How to get to Bristol, Bath and Wales from here.
The lack of a railway is a nuisance, but the Airport Flyer is frequent, runs all night, and gets you to Temple Meads quickly. For Bath, the West Country and South Wales, Bristol is a better choice than flying into London and taking the train.
Bristol has few long-haul flights. From Africa, most travellers to Bristol connect through European hubs, or fly into Heathrow and take the train or coach west.
