Day Trips Abroad from Bristol Airport, Priced Line by Line
Dublin Thu 26 Nov is the pick from Bristol: £29.00 flights, £9.50 on the Flyer and about £29.35 left for 10h 35m on the ground.
Day trips abroad from Bristol airport are nearly all Dublin, and once you have seen the numbers you will understand why nobody is fighting it. There are 24 cities on the Bristol board and the cheapest full day comes in at £67.85, so here is where every pound of that goes.
The £67.85 day, broken down
Thu 26 Nov, out 07:55, home 21:35, 10h 35m in Dublin. That is the best-value day on the board at the moment and it splits like this.
- Return flights, £29.00
- Flyer bus into the airport from Bristol centre, 30 minutes, £9.50
- What is left for the day itself, roughly £29.35
Thirty quid doesn't sound much for ten and a half hours but Dublin's generous if you plan it, Trinity's grounds and the Book of Kells queue, Phoenix Park, the National Gallery, all free or nearly. The money goes on lunch and a couple of pints, and you'd spend that at home anyway.

The rest of the board, cheapest first
- Dublin, Thu 26 Nov, 10h 35m, £67.85
- Dublin, Tue 24 Nov, 10h 10m, £76.85
- Dublin, Tue 17 Nov, 10h 10m, £83.85
- Dublin, Wed 25 Nov, 9h 15m, £85.85
- Alicante, Fri 20 Nov, 6h 20m, £89.75
- Dublin, Mon 30 Nov, 8h 35m, £95.85
Fares checked 8 Nov. Alicante's the only thing on there that isn't Dublin, and you're paying £22 more for four hours less on the ground, so it's a sunshine decision rather than a value one.
What about flights on their own?
If you'd rather sort your own day, the cheapest November returns from Bristol are Dublin at £29.00 on Thu 26 Nov, Alicante at £59.00 on Fri 20 Nov and Madrid at £67.00 on the same day. Madrid at £67.00 is tempting until you look at the hours, which is exactly why we price the whole day rather than the fare.
Is Bristol a good airport for a day trip?
For Ireland it's quietly brilliant, you're through security fast, the Flyer gets you there for under a tenner and 10h 35m is a proper day out. For everywhere else it's thin, 24 cities against Stansted's 83, so if you want range you'll be driving or getting the train somewhere bigger.
Dublin's the cheapest day trip abroad from most of the UK, not just Bristol, and we've costed every airport's cheapest Dublin day if you want to see how yours stacks up.
