AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Bristol has just one terminal building with a single central security checkpoint serving all gates, so there is no inter-terminal transfer system, train, or shuttle. Passengers walk from arrivals through to departures gates, a distance of only a few hundred metres, but must clear security again if arriving from a non-secure area or a different flow.
