I passed through Bristol Airport for the first time last weekend, it was nice to see that the development work was progressing on a new pier, I have to ask will the new pier have seats available in the departure gates? As it was a slight shock to the system while waiting in the gate and having to stand for so long especially since they got us into the gate area before the plane had landed from its previous flight.
The expansion I imagine can't come quick enough as the airport handles far more passengers than my local (Newcastle) but the space seemed about half the size of the terminal in Newcastle. It was pretty surreal being driven through the suburbs of Bristol while on the flyer bus to the train station, but I thought added to the quaintness of the West Country.
