Frequently Asked Questions

Are there curfews or night-flight restrictions at Bristol Airport (BRS)?

Yes. Bristol Airport is open 24 hours, but there are night-flying restrictions between 23:30 and 06:00. Movement quotas and noise limits apply — e.g. maximum number of night flights per year, ban on the noisiest aircraft types (Quota Count 4+), and limits on cumulative noise during night periods.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Bristol?

It’s best to book a few weeks ahead, particularly during the summer months and around large events such as the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in August, which draws heavy visitor traffic. Parking can be limited at Bristol Airport during these times. LunaJets frequently arranges short-notice flights to Bristol, even during busy periods.

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Bristol?

Yes. Bristol is one of the airports approved for pet travel under the UK Pet Travel Scheme. You can bring your pet (dog, cat, or ferret) on a private jet to Bristol provided that the animal is microchipped, vaccinated against rabies (after microchipping), and travels with either a valid pet passport or an official animal health certificate. If arriving from outside the UK, additional treatments (such as tapeworm treatment for dogs) and documentation will be required. LunaJets will ensure all requirements are met for your journey.

What are the entry and visa requirements when flying private to Bristol?

All travellers flying privately to Bristol must comply with UK entry rules. Since 2025, most non-UK nationals (including those from the EU, EEA, and Switzerland unless they hold UK residence status) need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before arrival. The ETA is applied for online, costs approximately £16, and is valid for up to two years or until the passport expires. LunaJets will verify the specific requirements for your nationality and ensure everything is in place.

Are there alternate airports near Bristol I could use?

Yes. For certain schedules, Gloucestershire Airport (GLO) (~48 miles away) or Cardiff Airport (CWL) (~64 miles) are viable alternates. Exeter is also an option for some regional destinations. LunaJets will compare aircraft performance, route, final destination, and timing to recommend the best airport.
