Long queues are expected at Bristol Airport during the Easter holidays

From March 23 to April 7, Bristol Airport is anticipating its busiest-ever Easter period, with over 420,000 passengers planning to travel through the airport over the two weeks.

March 31 (Easter Sunday) will be one of the busiest days as 30,000 (7%) passengers travel through the airport.

Passengers are recommended to arrive at check-in at least 2 hours ahead of the scheduled departure time during the Easter season.

They are also advised to have their boarding card ready, laptops and other large electrical devices out of their bags, liquids in separate liquid bags, emptied pockets and their jacket/coat off before arriving at security to speed the process.

If travelling with Easter eggs, passengers are advised to keep any chocolate treats in their cabin baggage and to make sure they’re easily accessible, as they may need to be opened for a quick check.
