If you’re from the South West or just across the bridge in Wales, you know the drill. You don’t mind a bit of rain, but there comes a point every year when you just need to trade the Bristol Channel for the Balearics.
The good news is that for 2026 and 2027, we are absolutely spoilt for choice. Whether you’re a “Bristol Regular,” a loyal fan of Cardiff (CWL), or you prefer the “easy-in-easy-out” vibe of Exeter (EXT), getting your all-inclusive fix has never been easier. I’ve spent my fair share of time in these terminals (and car parks), so here is the nitty-gritty on doing an “All-In” from our neck of the woods.
It’s not just about the postcode; it’s about the “holiday start” you’re looking for.
Bristol (BRS) is the undisputed heavyweight of the region. It serves everyone from Cornwall up to the Cotswolds and a huge chunk of South Wales. For 2026, it’s the place for “Choice.” With massive bases for Jet2holidays and TUI, it’s the hub for those big, flagship family resorts in Turkey or the Canaries. It’s for the traveller who wants the 5-star spa, the massive waterpark, and the widest selection of flight times.
Cardiff (CWL) is the “National Hero.” Serving the whole of Wales, it’s got a loyal following who’d much rather start their holiday on home soil than trek down the M4. It’s a bit more “civilised” than Bristol—shorter queues and a friendlier feel. For 2026/2027, it’s a brilliant hub for Majorca and Bulgaria, serving those who want a stress-free start to their sangria-sipping.
Exeter (EXT) is the “Local Legend.” If you’re from Devon or Somerset, you know the joy of being from the car park to the gate in fifteen minutes. It’s smaller, sure, but it’s perfect for those “Adults-Only” boutique escapes to the Algarve or Zante. It’s for the traveller who values their sanity as much as their suntan.
Let’s talk brass tacks: what’s the damage before you even see the duty-free? 2026 has seen a bit of a hike, so listen up.
Transport: The A1 Airport Flyer from Bristol Temple Meads is a winner.
Parking Costs: For an 8-day stay in 2026, expect to pay £70–£95 for the Long Stay if you book early. WARNING: The “Drop Off” fee at Bristol has just increased to £8.50 for 10 minutes as of January 2026. If you want to avoid that, use the Waiting Zone—it’s free for an hour and has a shuttle to the terminal.
Transport: The 905 bus connects the airport to Rhoose Cardiff International station.
Parking Costs: Cardiff is often a bit kinder on the wallet. You can snag Long Stay (Car Park 2) for around £65–£80 for a week. As the airport authorities recently noted, “We prioritize a stress-free start,” and that includes 20 minutes of FREE drop-off in Car Park 2.
Transport: The Stagecoach 4/4A bus runs every 20 minutes from the city centre.
Parking Costs: For 2026, an 8-day stay in the Long Stay will set you back roughly £75–£90. If you’re quick, Car Park P4 offers 30 minutes of free parking for drop-offs, which is a rare treat these days!
For a South West or Welsh all-inclusive in 2026/2027, the Mediterranean is basically your backyard.
From Bristol: You’ve got the heavy hitters. Turkey (Antalya/Dalaman) is the king of value right now, followed closely by Greece (Rhodes/Kos). For 2026, BRS has even added more routes to Tunisia and Egypt (Sharm El Sheikh) for those who want that “Red Sea” luxury at a bargain price.
From Cardiff: It’s a Mediterranean “Best Of” album. Majorca, Tenerife, and Ibiza are the staples. According to TUI’s 2026 data, Cardiff travellers are increasingly opting for Dalmatian Coast (Croatia) for that slightly more “upmarket” all-inclusive feel.
From Exeter: It’s all about Spain and Cyprus. If you want a 4-star beach break in Paphos or the Costa Blanca, EXT is your best bet for a “door-to-door” experience.
Don’t spend your Sunday afternoon with 20 browser tabs open. I always head straight to www.allinclusive.co.uk and use their Alihoco tool. It’s the only way to cut through the “Room Only” fluff and see the actual total price of an “All-In.”
Multi-Select the Hubs: Tick “Bristol,” “Cardiff,” and “Exeter.” Sometimes the price difference for the exact same hotel can be over £150 per person just by switching from Bristol to Cardiff.
Filter for “Transfers Included”: Taxis in the Canaries have shot up in price; Alihoco lets you filter for packages that include the coach, saving you a €60 headache at the airport.
Trust the Nitty-Gritty: The tool pulls live data from TUI, Jet2, and EasyJet Holidays. As one industry insider recently told me, “The South West market is incredibly competitive in 2026, so the best deals go to those who can jump between regional airports to find the unsold seats.”
