Flights from Belfast

By Craig Wilson

There are two airports serving Belfast there is Belfast International Airport and George Best Belfast City Airport. Belfast City in nearer to the city centre whilst Belfast International is about twenty minutes drive away. Both airports have adequate public transport between them making it easy to get to and from the airports

Belfast flights between the UK generally fly into Belfast City Airport whilst most of the European ones use Belfast International Airport. There are however some domestic flights between the UK and Belfast.

Belfast Flights to New York or flights to Cancun, Vancouver and Orlando flights from Belfast are all departing from Belfast International with airlines such as Continental, Fly Globespan, Air Transat and Zoom.

Thanks to the arrival of the low cost carriers the flight destinations from Belfast have grown dramatically over the last few years. You can now get a Belfast flight from Blackpool or a Belfast Malaga flight at a better price as well.

When you are looking for a flight to Belfast from both Belfast airport that both have different options you can choose from. Manchester to Belfast flights is a good example of this as the routes is served by two different airlines. One airline has flights into Belfast city while the other one covers Belfast International. If you have no preference as to which airport you travel to then you can use this to your advantage and save money and have a greater choice of flight times and availability.

Another advantage of having two airports is that airlines often compete on routes and use different airports. A good example of this is a flight from Birmingham to Belfast City with Flybe. There is nothing stopping you travelling to or from Belfast City and returning into Belfast International. Bmibaby also have flights from Birmingham but this time into Belfast Internaional.

Not just getting a cheap fare on a low cost airline but to more destinations has opened up a large number of new destinations, which are ideal for city breaks. There is no more need to waste time by travelling to your destination via London or Manchester you can now get a flight there direct. This also means no more waiting for a connecting flight and checking your bags in more than once.
