Where to buy

For Adult Single and Day Returns, use tap on, tap off. Just tap on with a contactless card or device when you board the bus, and tap off when you leave. Tap on, tap off covers adult prices for Singles and Day Returns. Best of all, any connecting bus trips on other First West of England routes you start 3 hours before or after boarding Airport Flyer services are free!

Electric buses are powered by rechargeable batteries, offering a quieter and cleaner ride.

Tickets are also available on the bus from the driver – we accept contactless cards as well as cash (pound sterling). Please note some foreign bank cards may not be accepted by our machines and that we do not accept American Express.

You can also buy tickets for all Airport Flyer routes online on the Bristol Airport website
