Is this the best route ever?
Have a read of this and let me know if this is the quickest way to Bristol Airport...many thanks to mark for his top travel tips
"Hi Mark - The best way to Bristol Airport from most of the county is:
M5 to Junction 19 (Portishead)
Get off and take the A369 left for 200 metres towards Abbots Leigh
Turn right and go through Portbury village and up the hill to the B3218 junction at Failand
Turn left, and go about a mile towards Bristol
Turn right down the B3129 until you get to the A370 junction
Turn left and go through Flax Bourton, and after the village ignore the signs to the airport, going under the A370
Go straight on through Barrow Gurney
When you reach the A38 junction, turn right and go up the hill to the airport
I have done this journey regularly from Gloucester to Bristol airport (my airport of choice) and it avoids Bristol city centre, and is never congested."
Let me know if you have a better way...cummings@bbc.co.uk

If only North Somerset Council would install signage to guide people along Mark's suggested route. However, local residents might not be too keen on that.
