Bournemouth-Airport

Why use Bournemouth Airport?

Travelling with Young Kids? This Airport isย a gem to use.

As a family with young kids, airports can sometimes feel like total chaos but not here. This airport is wonderfully compact, yet it still offers everything you need. Thanks to an exciting new partnership with Jet2, alongside existing routes from TUI and Ryanair, you can now fly to a wide range of European destinations without the hassle of trekking to a London airport. Which we all know isn’t fun when you live miles away.

One of the best perks is no waiting around for shuttle buses , you’re basically at check in as soon as you close your car boot!

Despite its smaller size, the airport still has everything to make your journey smooth and stress free. Grab a coffee, pick up a snack, and donโ€™t worry thereโ€™s a WHSmith and a duty-free shop for all those last-minute plane essentials.

The Travel Mum

Hi, Iโ€™m a mum of two lively boys and married to a husband who (unfortunately) keeps my holiday obsession in check! Weโ€™re all about fun, active family getaways as relaxing isnโ€™t really in my boysโ€™ vocabulary!

Our go to destination is the UAE, and over the years weโ€™ve tried and tested plenty of hotels and experiences, which I love sharing on Instagram. Living in beautiful Dorset, I know just how exhausting the trek to London airports can be especially after a long flight. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m here to help you discover amazing holiday deals flying from our more convenient local airports of Exeter, Bournemouth, and Southampton.

Whether itโ€™s travel tips, hotel reviews, or family days out, Iโ€™m all about sharing our adventures and hopefully helping you find your next great holiday at a brilliant price.

ad When we heard this place being called the โ€œSt Lucia of Europeโ€ we knew we had to check it out!

We love @eurocampholidays and find their camps perfect for our family. Arinella Bianca is ideal if you want to be right by the beach, with a mix of peace for you but fun for the kids!

After this camp, we are moving to another Eurocamp in Tuscany! More on that soon ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

If you want me to send you a link to check prices for this camp, comment CAMP and Iโ€™ll drop you a DM

Let me know if you have any questions about a Eurocamp stay!
