The first direct flights from Bristol Airport to the USA in years have been announced, and you can book a return ticket for as little as £200. Passengers can now fly with travel agent Tui from the North Somerset airport directly to Melbourne Orlando International Airport in Florida.
It marks the first time Bristolians have been able to fly straight to the USA in many years, since direct flights from the airport to New York were cancelled in the 2010s when they became economically unviable. And holiday booking website Skyscanner shows that although there are not many flights scheduled currently, the costs on certain dates are relatively cheap for a long-haul flight.
If you were to fly out on May 18 and return on May 25, it could cost just £201 return, correct as of this morning (May 13). And a trip in the summer months, from June 8-15, would cost you exactly the same. Tui's website is showing the same prices as Skyscanner at the time of writing.
