Bristol is Bath's nearest airport on this list. By car, Bath Spa station is 7 minutes from Bath. Rail reached Bath Spa station in 1840. Bag tags for Bristol Airport read BRS.
How the day runs
Most travellers take a luxury people-carrier for the extra space. You are collected from the town itself, not a station or a car park. Pick-up is timed from your flight: 44 minutes for the road, then whatever the airline asks for. The same run from Bradford on Avon is 59 minutes; from Keynsham, 29 minutes. Back at Bristol, look for your name in arrivals; the bags go straight to the car. Ravensley works from Oxford, 1 hour 35 minutes from Bath via the A34, M4 and A46.
