And having driven many, many times to Northern Spain, from the catchment area of Bournemouth airport, I can say safely that it is deeply unpleasant, takes forever, and I am very glad that my mother's fear of flying has now abated enough to allow her to do that same route on a Ryanair 737 to Girona. From Bournemouth, most of the time (Bristol is also convenient for them). My parents will typically get someone to give them a lift to the airport - usually whichever one of us siblings they've roped into looking after their dogs!
The cat is out of the bag, and the British public are not going to be giving up their holidays in the Med for Bournemouth beach, Skegness, or Blackpool any time soon.
The only public transport option the airport could reasonably expect would be a subsidised bus, and given that there isn't one, I doubt the airport will bring one in. The only way it could happen would be to have the council require it as part of conditions for expansion.
