Bristol Airport - cab share?

[Sara77]

I am landing at Bristol Airport on the Thursday at 2pm - I was wondering if anyone would like to share a taxi direct to the festival site?

 

Or failing that - tell me how to get there?! 😂

Bristol Airport Flyer to Bristol Temple Meads or Bristol Bus Station.  Then shuttle to fest or train to Castle Cary from BTM, or National Express from bus station.  Up to you.  Look at website for transport options from Bristol.

I'd keep an eye out at the boarding gate beforehand, looking for other likely festival goers - there's a decent chance you won't be the only one on the flight. Even if you are, do likewise in the baggage claim area as there may be people coming off other flights headed to the Festival.

Would think that if you can find someone (even just one person) then sharing a Taxi to the site is a better option than travelling into Bristol - you're already arriving "late", so presumably you don't want to lose an extra 2+ hours mucking about with some combination of shuttle buses, coaches, and trains.

Tbh if it came in under about 60 quid, I'd consider the Taxi on my own, but I suspect that these days it's probably a bit more than that.

Some people here are flying in from Glasgow and getting a taxi, may be worth sending them a PM...

Might not be too bad cost wise - my wife's best friend got a taxi from NW Bristol to PGA for £50 in 2019.

Thanks all. Really appreciate all the replies. Now getting a bit more organised. Flights and taxis booked - and have arranged to share with @Johndenis - we got 6 seater for £68; between 4 of us.

Starting to get a bit excited now...

Just to say - after a bit of confusion on days - we do actually have space in a booked taxi to/from festival. We arrive in Bristol airport on wed @ 10am and leave Monday afternoon. Happy to share.

Hey @blakester  I’m looking for a lift on Monday to Bristol Airport. 1 solo bloke with a backpack, offering positive vibes and Glastonbury anecdotes as well as chipping in for the cab fare.

Let me know if suits.

Hey @blakester! How was it getting the return taxi from Glasto to Bristol Airport?

I'm thinking of getting a flight back home departing at 8AM from Bristol Airport on Monday, so I'm wondering if you would recommend your experience! Thanks in advance 🙂

Hello - lucky you getting tickets. We tried and failed.

taxi return was easy. We’d been in touch with driver via text and they were reliable. Only thing to mention is that taxis can’t come all the way into site. You have to get bus to pickup area. But it was good - would recommend.

Hey - 2 of us flying in and out from Belfast, would be happy to share a taxi if it suited anyone else also. Leaving the airport about 9am Weds and leaving festival about 8/9am on the Monday, can be a bit flexible on the times also provided it's still within flight times obviously. 

Thanks 👍

There's regular and reliable buses from the airport to Bristol temple meads station where you can get a bus to the festival
