My "little" cousin (Was 14 in the footage, 35 now!). I know I have lots more from 2004 as I was bored during a long delay. Will try and fish it out!

Nothing too exciting, but I was going through some old VHS tapes and found twenty whole seconds of footage of departures from 2002 (Yes, it turns out 2002 was the VHS era and not 5 minutes ago) Not much to see but I thought some might get a kick out of it. It was my first visit to the new...

Did the Bristol to Orlando trip a few weeks back on the Dreamliner. I hope it remains. Getting back to Bristol was so nice after a long flight. Was around the Hurricane Irma time and Thomson (I'll call then TUI one day) were pretty great about it all. One thing that was brought up (only as we...

I don't follow them but have an active account, and the option to see replies etc is available to me on the BRS page.

I seem to remember that the walkways were built in a way that didn't permit the addition of travelators? I may be wrong? Wonder if the width of the walkways are too thin? Or if the floors are too thin/weak to hold them being that they're not on ground level? Seems weird that they weren't...

Few bits and bobs to mark the 60th anniversary in the local media. Here's a little retrospective video from the BBC - https://t.co/YgnxfEhzMy

I'll be sad to see the old terminal building go. Instant hit of nostalgia every time I see it!

Was there last week. Hotel has come on a lot. Starting to look mostly there from the outside. Security search area is much better. Waited in line for about a minute even though things seemed busy (was easily a 20 minute wait when I used the older one a few weeks back). Even the bigger trays to...

Their Instagram account has gone now. Deleted.

Either I jinxed it or they read this as they've put two whole pictures up in the last 24 hours!

More walking?! Haha! I quite like the long walks at BRS after many hours of being sat down, but I imagine it will drive some people nuts.

I feel they've gone quiet on their social media too. Their Instagram went from posting near daily to every other month. They're either very busy or not at all!

It will be good to have some more shops landside. I kinda miss the more-even split BRS used to have in the earlier days of the new terminal.

The cash machines at BRS offer both pounds and Euros. Lost my train of thought last weekend and nearly withdrew 50 Euros for Belfast :nailbiting:

I once had to do a last minute exchange at Bournemouth Airport and the guy in the bureau said people rarely change up in the airport and I was his first customer of the day (was early afternoon), haha!

Flying the Dreamliner to Orlando next year. So excited! A small part of me is disappointed I'm not visiting another airport for a change of scenery but I never thought I'd be home within half hour of a long-haul landing.

"...will open on 18 July." I'm there on the 17th. I was a week early for the eastern extension too! I need to plan my trips better. Back in October though so looking forward to seeing it then. Was last there a few weeks back and although the exterior was up it was still window-less and still...

It's always great to see video of ye olde days. Would be fun to see more from inside the airport too.

I'll be there on Wednesday so will let you know. I've heard about the security queues. Chaos was probably inevitable. Still not seen the eastern extension yet (was about a week off from the grand opening) so looking forward to seeing that part!

Updated timelapses of the building work - - Western extension looking pretty complete from an external point of view! Wonder how it's coming along on the inside?
