Flights to Poole
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Poole is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bristol Airport (BRS), 90 km (56 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,598 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Bournemouth Airport (BOH, 13 km), Southampton Airport (SOU, 51 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Airport | BRS | 90 km (56 mi) | 6,598 ft | 622 ft |
| Bournemouth Airport (regional) | BOH | 13 km (8 mi) | 7,454 ft | 38 ft |
| Southampton Airport (regional) | SOU | 51 km (32 mi) | 6,191 ft | 44 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,598 ft, BRS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 622 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
