We recognise the need for this website to be as widely accessible as possible. Striving to meet our obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 with respect to the provision of services online we have implemented a number of features to make this website easy to use, especially for users with disabilities.
We would be pleased to receive your comments and suggestions in relation to accessibility of this site as they will help to guide us in our search for further improvement. Please write to airportexpress@bristolairport.com or telephone 01275 473606.
The following features improve navigation for text only browsers, screen reader users, and users of keyboard navigation.
This site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual layout. If your browser supports it, style sheets can be disabled or over-ridden to customise the appearance of the website, to your preference.
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use a mouse for navigation. In Internet Explorer versions 5 and above, hold down ALT + the access key then release both keys and press ENTER. In most other Windows browsers you can press ALT + an access key; and Macintosh users can press Control + an access key.
These Access keys are based on UK Government guidelines. We have attempted to avoid conflicts with commonly used operating system shortcuts.
We appreciate that not all people using our sites can use a mouse; we will ensure that all of our websites can be browsed in a logical manner using the Tab button. Pressing the ' Tab ' key while on a web page will select the next link on the page. You can press ' Tab ' repeatedly to get to the chosen link. The selected link is indicated by the dotted border around the link. Once your chosen link is selected, you can trigger it by pressing the ' Enter ' key on your keyboard. You can move backwards through links by pressing ' Shift ' + ' Tab ' together.
You can change the font size of each page to your preference through the browser.
All of our forms are designed to follow WAI and RNIB guidelines. Each form field is labelled and you may use your tab button to move through the form in a logical sequence. Any collection and storage of personal information conforms with the Data Protection Act (see Privacy Policy).
Tables are only used to convey tabular data on this site. They are given row and column headings where necessary so they are not only visually different from the data cells, but coded so that screen readers will be able to identify them aswell. This will make it possible for screen reader users to find out what the relevant headings are, from anywhere within the table grid.
The site has been designed to be easy to read through its colour combinations. If you have any difficulty in reading parts of the site, try increasing the font size, or try altering the visual appearance of your browser.
We have worked hard to ensure that our links are meaningful, and some links are explained in greater detail by using a title attribute, visible when hovering over the link.
JavaScript is used on the site to improve usability. All pages and processes are still accessible and usable if JavaScript is disabled or unavailable.
Flash may be used on the site to enhance the experience of the user. An effort will be made to make sure that if a user does not have the correct plug-in for Flash elements, it does not detract from the user accessing the core content of the website.
This website will function and look as intended in all standards compliant browsers, the most common of these are:
If you do not have one of these browsers installed or are unable to upgrade, you may find the website easier to use by disabling CSS altogether - please see your browser's help documentation for further information.
This website is built to XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2.0 standards. To ensure code quality and that standards are maintained we are committed to checking this on a regular basis.
Our pages conform at a minimum to Level AA compliance as specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). The majority of AAA requirements are also met.
We will continue to make improvements and make sure this website conforms to these guidelines. Bristol Airport is not responsible for the accessibility of any third-party websites which this site may link to.
