Whilst we all wish we just could hop on our flight as soon as we get to the airport, we've always got to allow loads of time to get through check-in, baggage drop-off and security - as well as the inevitable waiting for our gate to appear on the information screens and for our plane to be ready.
Luckily for us, there's a nice mixture of shops, cafes and restaurants at Bristol Airport to keep us occupied before departure. As well as Duty Free, where you can pick up chocolates, alcohol and fancy perfumes for a cheaper price than on the UK high street, there's also a range of high street brands so we can buy the last-minute essentials or treat ourselves before our holiday begins!
The shops and restaurants at Bristol Airport do have different opening hours but people flying in the daytime will be greeted with lots of choice. If you're flying at night, there will be less shops and cafes available, however. Go here for hotels near Bristol Airport and here for a full list of Bristol Airport destinations.
