If you fly to either Heathrow or Gatwick, an easy and certainly the cheapest way to get to Bristol, is by bus.

Cost:       

Heathrow: £35 return ticket (£31.50 single)
Gatwick:   £40.50 return ticket (£35.50 single)

We recommend you buy your bus ticket in advance, on line, through the National Express Web Site: www.nationalexpress.com/airport. This is especially recommended if you are travelling at a busy time of the year (July/August). If your plane is delayed and you miss the bus, you will always be allowed to take the next available bus. If you prefer, you can buy your ticket on arrival at the National Express office in the airport.
