BRISTOL Airport is reminding passengers that there are a number of parking options, including a free waiting area for an hour, just over 1.5 miles away from the site.

A courtesy bus service runs from car rentals, which is next to the waiting zone, and takes customers who have been dropped off, to the terminal every 15 minutes, around the clock.

It offers the same regular return service. Further information can be found here.

Bristol Airport is expecting to see an average of over 35,000 customers per day during August.

The airport has five different parking areas and on its website you can find a short video, map, postcode and what3words location showing how to access these.

• The Silver Zone, the most popular long stay choice for customers.

• Multi-Storey Car Park, which is under a 10-minute walk from the terminal.

• Meet and Greet, which is a concierge service offering the ultimate convenience in airport parking.

• Drop and Go, which is ideal for quickly dropping off family and friends.

• Short Stay and Pick Up, which is a short walk for customers who are being collected and perfect for stays of up to six days.

All of these specific car parks offer special assistance, further information can be found here.

A map highlighting where to find each of the car parks is available here. All car parks are fitted with CCTV.

Rupert Lawrie, commercial director for Bristol Airport, said: “There are plenty of parking options at the Airport to avoid dropping off friends and family on the roadside near the airport and in laybys, causing congestion and a safety risk to all road users.

“These options help to avoid inconsiderate parking in local communities.”

Every car park is sign-posted. If any customers are unsure of where to find a particular car park, they can drive into any of the car parks and around to the exit barrier where they can press the help button and speak to a member of the team for further directions.

Bristol Airport also reminds passengers that the Airport Flyer bus service runs daily.

The A1 operates up to every 12 minutes, and the A3 is hourly. Both connect to local bus services and trains.

Bristol Airport also recommends signing up to the newsletter for further information and discounts for parking and the Flyer.
