Airport Flyer

From North Somerset Councillor Deborah Yamanaka:

Bus users of the Airport Flyer will know that the Flyer stopped taking the Diamond Concessionary card for pensioners in July. But now local residents (including Wrington, Redhill and Butcombe) CAN use the diamond card for FREE travel if they also show the card for the Airport’s own half-price scheme for local residents – see online or contact me for an application form.”

From Bristol Airport:      Diamond travelcards being accepted on the Airport Flyer Express

Bristol City Council informed Bristol Airport of its intention to remove the benefits of free travel to holders of Diamond travelcards on the Airport Flyer Express bus service. The change to the service commenced from 1 July 2016.
Dear All

After further discussions between Bristol Airport and First Bus, we can confirm from Monday 15 August 2016 Diamond travelcard users in selected areas, will still be able to travel between Bristol city centre and Bristol Airport bus stops free of charge.

The scheme applies to anyone living permanently in the postcode areas BS40, BS41 8, BS48, BS49 BS29 or BS25. Residents in these areas who are Diamond travelcard holders can travel free of charge on the Airport Flyer Express on production of a valid Diamond travelcard and Bristol Airport’s concessionary travel scheme card. Normal restrictions apply and travel is free Monday to Friday from 9am-4am and anytime Saturday, Sunday or public holidays

Concessionary travel scheme card application forms are available on Bristol Airport’s website or from the Airport Flyer Express kiosk on the terminal forecourt.
