Flights to Bath
With its Georgian architecture and ancient Roman past, Bath always enchants, and visitors can fly to this West Country gem with ease. Flights arrive at nearby Bristol Airport from across the UK and Europe, and there are plenty of ways to connect from transatlantic journeys. Transfers from the airport take 30-50 minutes, putting elegant crescents and fascinating history well within reach.
Which is the main airport in Bath?
Bath itself doesn't have an airport, but that doesn't mean travelers can't reach the city by air. In fact, while Bristol Airport is named after Bath's larger neighbor, it's almost as close to Bath. The Bath Bus Company runs services from the airport every half an hour, and transfers take 50 minutes. Taxis take around 30-35 minutes so arriving by plane is definitely a convenient option.
Which airlines offer flights to Bath?
Airlines flying into Bristol Airport include easyJet, Ryanair, TUI, Thomas Cook, and Flybe. KLM also provides links to Amsterdam Schiphol - a major entry point to Europe for American visitors.
Why travel by plane to Bath?
Flying to Bath makes sense if travelers are coming from further afield. For instance, if passengers start their journey in New York, they can fly to Paris CDG, Amsterdam Schiphol, or Glasgow International before catching connecting flights to Bristol. That can actually work out faster than flying into London, transferring to stations in the center of town, then catching trains to Bath. Convenience is a major reason to take flights to Bath. Flying is also a comfortable way to travel, minimizing the number of changes required, but also offers the chance to break up journeys if desired, with stopovers possible in Paris or Amsterdam.
Before you travel to Bath by plane - good to know!
The first thing to note when taking planes to Bath is that the airport is around 30-50 minutes away, depending on the form of transfer. Those in a hurry may want to book taxis before landing. In town, most of the major attractions are closely packed. Visitors can walk from the Royal Crescent to the Roman Baths, visit the Jane Austen Centre, tour Bath Abbey, and have plenty of energy left to stroll the banks of the Avon. Don't miss the lemon curd filled buns on offer at Sally Lunn's, or the home-from-home pleasures of the American Museum.
