There aren’t a tremendous number of airports in Wales – being a relatively small country there isn’t enough space for there to be airports everywhere; and in any case there is no need for loads of airports because they are only a short drive away. However, that is the case if you are living in the north of Wales (around the Wrexham area); Liverpool has an airport that is within easy access for many people living on the eastern and northern side of the country and is more than enough use for anyone looking to fly to Europe or America. However, for people living in the south west of Wales this is of little use as the transport infrastructure isn’t fantastic and using British airports would mean either a long drive in the morning or a hotel stay over – something that would push the price of the holiday up.

This, however, isn’t necessary because of Cardiff airport. Situated on the south coast close to Bristol, Cardiff airport is one of the only large airports to be found in Wales and offers a comprehensive flight service that can take you almost wherever you want to go. Budget airlines such as Ryanair fly out to cities like Paris and Palma and Aerlingus fly out to the USA, with flights going to Boston and New York almost daily. It is also possible to fly to mainland Britain with regular flights to all the London airports and Liverpool – the people in the west are able to go on holiday anywhere they want to!
