No matter where you want to fly to, Bristol Airport is a fantastic place to depart from. There are around 13 different airlines that are available for use to and from the airport and a number of those offer package holidays that use Bristol Airport as a base to fly out to an array of exotic locations (Thomas Cook being only one example). Yet, Bristol is a unique airport in that it flies out to a number of the more unorthodox holiday destinations. Forget France, Spain or Italy (where only one or two airlines that offer flights there) – you may find a few flights going there but not a massive amount compared to other airports in the United Kingdom. Instead, the more common flights are to countries such as Bulgaria, Croatia or Turkey with upwards of 8 airlines offering flights to these destinations.

This arrangement does set Bristol Airport apart from other, more conventional or traditional airports. If you don’t want to go on a holiday to one of the more traditional locations then Bristol Airport is the only place that you should consider flying from. You will be able to buy more guide books on the countries like Turkey and Bulgaria and speak to staff that are much more versed in the local customs and sights and will be very able to give you ideas on what you may like to do. Certainly, they will be much more help than the staff at other airports who are much less likely to know about the intricate details of the country you’re visiting.
