1. Flights from Bristol to Bucharest, Romania – Average price £19
First on our list of the top five cheapest flight destinations from Bristol airport is the Romanian capital of Bucharest. Still considered a hidden gem by travellers in the know, you should plan a trip before the city gets overrun with Londoners on a weekend getaway. The city centre is a mishmash of medieval, neoclassical, and art nouveau buildings, and warrants the overused description of breathtaking. After walking slack-jawed around the city stopping at architectural marvels like the Stavropoleos Monastery, re-energise with a hearty meal before checking out Bucharest’s vibrant nightlife.
KAYAK Tip: You’ve scored a cheap flight from Bristol, now book yourself into a fancy hotel without breaking the budget. A night for two in a 4-star hotel in Bucharest can be found for as little as £27.
2. Flights from Bristol to Milan, Italy – Average price £37
As far as cheap flights to great destinations from Bristol go, Milan is right up there, which saves you a few quid for shopping and dining in Italy’s fashion capital. If you are holidaying in style, Milan’s high-end restaurants like Contraste where your meal is created just for you after a conversation between you and the chefs, or a shopping trip on the Via Montenapoleone will make any credit card happy. But if you want to combine your cheap flight with a cheap holiday, fear not! Most of Milan’s museums only cost a few quid entry, the city’s outlet stores are legendary, and Italy being Italy – every pizzeria and fast food restaurant like Pascoli Piadineria Artigianale offers amazing food at incredible prices. A top destination from Bristol indeed.
KAYAK Tip: The Museo Archeologico is not just an incredible museum hosting artefacts from the Roman, Etruscan, and Greek eras, it’s also housed in a 9th-century monastery which is worth the trip alone. Entry is just €5 (about £4.50) but is also free on Tuesdays after 2pm.
3. Flights from Bristol to Dublin, Ireland – Average price £43
Not just one of the cheapest destinations to reach from Bristol airport, but also one of the top city-breaks you can take in terms of pure, unadulterated fun. Mix the old with the new by visiting medieval structures like the imposing St. Paul’s Cathedral (built in 1191) followed by the modern Science Gallery Museum. Alternatively, enjoy some Guinness and live music in a pub like The Brazen Head (founded in 1198) after feasting on contemporary cuisine somewhere like Ashton’s Gastropub. Hell, why not do both? After all, Dublin guarantees you’ll have a craicing good time.
KAYAK Tips: If you fancy a break from the bustle, head to North Bull Island a UNESCO biosphere site, located in Dublin Bay and less than a half hour from the city centre on public transport. Due to migration patterns, the reserve is a nature and bird lover’s paradise, especially from late autumn until early spring.

5. Flights from Bristol to Venice, Italy – Average price £46
If you’re searching for cheap flights from Bristol and want to explore a city on most people’s must-see lists, then you should head to Venice. Often described as a ‘living museum’, walking through the labyrinthine streets, crossing the canals on medieval bridges, and arriving at the grandeur of St Mark’s Basilica will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. If you want the full Venice experience, make sure you book a gondolier tour through the Grand Canal to experience the full splendour that Venice has to offer.
KAYAK Tip: If you want to see the inside of St Mark’s, it pays to book a ticket online. While admission is free for any visitors, booking a San Marco ticket means you can bypass the eternal queues that snake out the doors throughout the tourist season.
