  What travellers had to say about Bristol Airport

Because of ATC meltdown our outbound flight was cancelled after we had processed check in and boarding card procedure. There was a lack of info although I can understand the confusion that 7 cancelled flights caused. There was only one person at first on the desk to handle the vast numbers of people trying to rebook etc. I was unhappy that at the airpot (Bristol) there was only a phone link for help and instructions given to use the internet point to access the town map to book hotel for the night. This was impossible due to the large number of people trying to use the facility and only four terminals available. My difficulty was that of being stranded at night with no available link to assist in finding hotel info - even a handout list would have helped. I think the airport should consider that older passengers are not always internet savvy and as in our case sometimes have medical conditions that create further distress and anxiety. Good news is enjoyed the holiday, am only out of pocket for hotel stay on the delayed night and obviously shall be pursing this through insurance. Many thanks. Barbara Hall - sorry to be so long winded!

The outbound flight was delayed by 1 1/2 hours largely due to a shortage of despatchers and buses to get to the planes. Check in and security were both OK. On the inbound flight significant delay at immigration. Only three out of 5 desks were manned and although I was not affected I thought that provision should have been made for those with small children and pregnant women to somehow jump the queue.

No delay for me at security because the airline "fast-tracked" me to avoid the queue which streteched down the stairs and across the entire check-in hall.

Horrendous queues. We felt like cattle.

7 - 8 Easyjet departures in less then 90 minutes means, even with +/- 10 check-ins, a very fraught check-in procedure

We were very lucky at immigration as there was absolutly no queue. I have waited in line for over 20 minutes on other occasions especially when the entire Bristol based Easyjet fleet (10 planes) return within a short space of each other. The 4 immigration desks are then wowfully inadequete.
