I've flown wizz air, they were ok.

I think a lot of smaller regional airports are probably struggling at the moment

Total and utter kents. I was due to fly to Lanzarote in November and January. They have cancelled both. Means the extra hassle of getting to Bristol for Ryan Air flights. Ah well.....

Use it or lose it, people often say they use Bristol because it's cheaper and I'm sure it is fairly often as the passenger numbers are larger but I often think if it is only say £50-100 more is it really worth spending an extra 1-2 hours each way travel time (depending where you live of course). Price of fuel is surely adding to that now, I think some people go there for a small saving and end up paying almost the same with extra fuel costs etc, let alone travel time/car wear and tear.

Same, getting over to Bristol is a ball ache. Then paying for parking for a week.

The airport desperately needs a decent airline, Bristol has gone from strength to strength with easy jet…..then again cardiff is run by the Welsh gov, almost doomed to fail

Well they say they will be back up and running for next year.

Dont give a sh!t if they are cheaper. Wouldnt trust them.

Unless another airline can do something cheaper it will be Easyjet from Bristol for me.

Shame Cardiff Airport could have done with this being a success.

the airport would have failed long ago if the Welsh government hadn't stepped in.
Bristol airport went from strength to strength and left Cardiff in its wake long before the government bought Cardiff airport.

there are definitely other things that I'd like to see at the airport, but it isn't going to happen overnight, and covid must have put any progress back years

Great place, I love it there. Have been quite a few times. Last three times, last September, February and May to Costa Teguise, which is more-or-less a chav free resort, catering mainly to couples

Puerto Del Carmen, is alright. The main strip on the front can be a bit like a mini Benidorm. The old Harbour area, is lovely though.

The other main resort Playa Blanca, I have never been too.

There is sun 12 months of the year, although it never gets baking hot as there is usually a slight offshore breeze blowing. Strangely enough this is at it's highest during the summer months of June, July and August. it is welcomed though as it keeps the temperature from getting into the 30s.

The breeze is at it's calmest probably during September and October. These are great months to visit, as the resorts are mainly a lot quieter, the sun is warm and the sea is gorgeous.

I’m not sure if it’s a part of the metro plan but a station at the airport would do wonders for business. Currently you have to get off at Rhoose then wait for a connecting bus. You could halve the travel time from Cardiff Central and not need to change over if the trains went direct to the airport.
Make the platform long enough so the Swansea - London trains can stop there and people from Swansea can be at the airport in ~30mins compared to the current ~90mins which also involves 2 changes.
