At Bristol Airport

Bristol Airport (IATA: BRS, ICAO: EGGD) is an international airport serving the city of Bristol, England, and the surrounding area. Located at Lulsgate Bottom, on the northern slopes of the Mendip Hills, in North Somerset, it is 8 miles southwest of Bristol city centre. Built on the site of a former RAF airfield, it opened in 1957 as Bristol (Lulsgate) Airport, replacing Bristol (Whitchurch) Airport as Bristol's municipal airport. Bristol Airport operates with a "remote stand" system for most of its gates, meaning there are no jet bridges connecting the terminal directly to the aircraft.

A car journey to and from the airport is a quick 30 minutes or less via the A38 and A370.
