Journey Detail: Swindon to Bristol Airport
Swindon sits around 49 miles from Bristol Airport, which is based at Lulsgate Bottom, around 8 miles south-west of Bristol city centre. The drive typically takes 65 to 80 minutes, though we always build a realistic buffer into your pickup time to allow for traffic, roadworks or an early check-in. Swindon is one of the larger towns in the region for corporate and leisure travel, and our drivers know the local pickup points around the Outlet Village and town centre well.
How Far Is Bristol Airport from Swindon?
Swindon is about 49 miles from Bristol Airport by road, typically 65 to 80 minutes.
The driver takes the M4 west from junction 15 or 16 to junction 19, then the M32 into Bristol and out on the A38 to the airport. The M4/M32 junction and the A38 through Bedminster can both be slow in the morning.
We pick up from Swindon station and from homes across the town and nearby villages such as Wroughton and Highworth.
