Bristol Airport — Bristol, United Kingdom

Bristol Airport is the main gateway for South West England, positioned in North Somerset roughly eight miles southwest of Bristol city center, near the village of Lulsgate Bottom, from which the airport historically took its name. Despite serving a large and busy region, the airport operates from a single runway, one of the highest-traffic single-runway fields in the United Kingdom. Its elevation of 622 feet makes it noticeably higher than most British airports, situated on rolling hills above the Bristol Channel. The airport code BRS covers a route network heavy with European leisure destinations alongside domestic links to Scotland and Northern Ireland, and it has long been a base for low-cost carriers such as easyJet and Ryanair. Unlike many airports of its size, Bristol Airport has no direct rail connection, so passengers typically rely on coach or bus services, including a dedicated flyer route into the city center and onward to Bristol Temple Meads railway station for connections across the national rail network.
