The last time I was here I remember there being about two places to eat once you got through security, but now there is the standard 'Duty-free' area, bars and restaurants that you would expect. I also loved the (non-smoking) roof terrace - something that you don't see very often at airports these days with increased security worries. A nice place to get some fresh air on a sunny day. Parking is still a nightmare here, even if you're just picking someone up. You see lots of 'alternative' parking areas on the way to the airport, from pubs and farms down to individual houses with large driveways offering long-term parking facilities, and if anyone is coming to pick you up, they often lurk outside the airport and just swoop in to get you when you call them. Transport to and from the city centre is pretty straightforward on the 'Bristol Flyer' bus, which costs £7 single.

NOPE…read more Honestly shocked by how expensive Bristol Airport has become. We were charged £8.50 just to drop someone off and we were there for under 2 minutes. No grace period, no short-stay option, just an automatic fee the second you enter. It feels less like traffic management and more like a penalty for saying goodbye. Then inside the terminal, a beer at the Cabin Bar was £8.29. I expect airport prices to be higher, but that's pushing into ridiculous territory. Between the drop-off charge and drink prices, it feels like you're being squeezed at every step. I understand airports need revenue, but this leaves a pretty sour impression and makes the experience feel exploitative rather than welcoming. I'll be looking for workarounds next time and warning friends to do the same..

For anyone planning to drive into Cardiff this is a valuable service to make use of. Cardiff's…read morestreets can get so busy at certain times of the day and parking is a huge nightmare. Especially with Cardiff Council's new responsibility to parking fines. Parking in Cardiff can be very costly if you do not adhere to road markings etc and even if you do, the car parks can charge quite a pretty penny depending when and where you are parking. For this reason, why not simply park here and ride the bus. It's only £3.00 to park at this facility which has ample spaces free throughout the day and then you can ride the bus into town for free. It doesn't really take that much longer and there is a bus every 15 minutes so you never have to wait too long before the next bus. The busses are all very new looking and this service is in operation 7 days a week. Monday to Friday the services start at 7am and on weekends the first bus is at 9am. The last services from the city centre are at 8:30am Monday to Friday, 7pm on Saturdays and 5:30pm on Sundays. If this ties in with your plans to visit Cardiff then it really makes more sense to use the park and ride as you would probably spend more than £3.00 in petrol whilst sitting in traffic and if you consider that, along with the parking fees, it makes it excellent value for money for the sake of a 20 minute bus ride.

Flying from Bristol International is undoubtedly easier and, on the whole, cheaper than going from…read moreone of the London airports, and the price is even better if you can get there on the Flyer service. Unfortunately it's not 24-hour, but they go from around 6am to around 10pm (you may wish to check that!) every 20 minutes or so, ferrying passengers on a loop from Clifton via the coach station and Temple Meads, then up through Bedminster to the airport. A taxi will costs you around £22 (so £44 for a return journey) to Temple Meads, while a return on here is just £9 (singles are £6). They're also almost as quick (20 min journey or so), due to the fact that the traffic is so dense for the majority of the journey that a taxi's extra speed is negated (I was running late for a flight once and shelled out for a taxi, only for the bus I'd spurned to pull up behind us as we arrived!). If you're on the route and travelling at a reasonable time, the Flyer beats a taxi hands down for price.

When I started out at university I invariably had to pay £25 for a taxi, ever since the flyer service has started operating that cost has dropped dramatically. Stopping at a range of well-thought out strategic locations in Bristol, the flyer is comfortable and speedy.

Last Tuesday evening, November 29, 2011, I arrived at the London Heathrow Airport from the US…read more Trying to lessen my burden upon arrival, my husband booked passage on National Express via the internet. My passage was booked for Gloucester, England, but I needed to find Gloucester Place in London. Being my first trip to the UK, I dutifully boarded the bus at approximately 20:00 hrs. I was tired after a long plane ride, and dozed for quite some time. Upon awaking I realized we were far away from any metropolis, but kept thinking somehow the bus would end up back in the London area again. Finally upon entering Gloucester, and only one other passenger on the bus, I asked our driver, David, if we were in a suburb of London. He told me we were 120 miles from London. Before driving any further, David called his dispatcher at Heathrow, and told of my plight. The decision was made to drive me to the depot in Gloucester (the end of this route), and wait for the next bus back to Heathrow. I agreed and was treated like a special guest until the bus was readied for the return to London Heathrow. After finishing his shift work, David waited with me until Simon came on shift and was ready to drive the Gloucester-London Heathrow route. I was only in the Central Bus Station for about 15 minutes, when another National Express employee (forgot her name) beckoned me to an awaiting Mercedes private taxi, with a driver dressed in a suit. I was carefully carried to my destination on Baker Street, near Gloucester Place, in downtown London. Even though I arrived several hours later than originally planned, I felt so pampered. Thank you David, Simon and everyone at National Express! You are all brilliant and sorted out my problem perfectly! Renee Machado Connelly Berry, San Jose, CA, USA

I spoke to the driver concerned and we exchanged e-mails confirming the date, time and cost. It was a 4.30 a.m. pick up to catch a flight at 5.35 a.m. Richard at Ansom Cabs failed to arrive. I tried to telephone him and left a message asking him to 'phone me back. At 4.50 a.m. my husband decided that we would have to drive to the airport and we caught our flight by the skin of our teeth. They were just closing the gate! We had no petrol in our car and had the worry of how we would get home all through our holiday. Not the most relaxing way to start a long awaited vacation.
