Transport Connections
Bristol Airport is located on the A38, 8 mi (13 km) south of Bristol city centre. The airport is signposted from the M5, from junction 22 when approaching from the south and junction 18 when approaching from the north. Neither gives quick access to the airport, a fact which is recognised by the Greater Bristol Strategic Transport Study. A number of solutions have been proposed, including a new link road between the A38 and the A371 but so far nothing has been approved.
The Bristol Airport Flyer services A1 and A2 operate to Bristol calling at Bedminster, Bristol Temple Meads railway station, and then A1 direct to Bristol Bus station,the A2 continues to Clifton then to Bristol Bus Station. All outbound journeys from the bus station to the airport are numbered A1 and go direct (via Temple Meads).Thus a passenger going from Clifton to the airport gets on an inbound A2 which then becomes an outbound A1 upon reaching the bus station. The service takes 30 minutes from the city centre and can be booked as part of a rail journey, changing between train and bus at Bristol Temple Meads. These are operated by First Group on behalf of Bristol Airport.
A bus service to and from Weston-super-Mare operates every two hours, service number 121. This service is operated by Bakers Coaches on behalf of North Somerset Council.
Also one National Express service a day operates to and from London/Penzance.

Famous quotes containing the words transport and/or connections:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
