Belfast International Airport by Graeme Jardin

This used to be a great airport. All the soft chairs have been removed from the departure area and replaced with the hard plastic things. In addition, the seating area is squeezed into the centre of the waiting area, leaving plenty of room for the poorly-used shops and overpriced catering areas. Cafe Rankin, in particular, is inferior to the average high street Pret A Manger. BFS needs to raise its act.

Travelled through Belfast Intl several times last year and found staff and security particularly unfriendly, Belfast City is a much nicer airport (and much cheaper to get to by bus from Belfast - GBP1.40 as opposed to GBP6.00)

STN to BFS and BFS to Berlin, both on Easyjet, July 2007. Also used the airport a number of years ago. BFS is easy to use, staff are friendly, and getting there from various places in N. Ireland and the Rep. of Ireland is fairly fast and easy. In a very uncongested area, with quick access to fast, good roads in multiple directions. Car rentals and parking are a short walk from the terminal (no shuttle bus needed), again, making for fast car/plane connections. Arrivals shops/eating and departures shops/eating are totally segregated, so if you're not familiar with the airport, it takes some exploration to figure out how to get from one to the other. So if you want to look for more options, find the elevator and go to the other floor, which at first you don't realize exists. Finally, while hardly a big deal, signs for driving around the airport and getting to the motorway from the airport are sometimes mildly confusing, as your destination road can disappear from signs or be visible only to people entering a roundabout from a different direction. Getting to the airport, on the other hand, is very well signposted.

First time I used Belfast's first airport in many years, and such huge improvements. Ample facilities, including the ubiquitous Starbucks, and a Paul Rankin Wine Bar. This airport has benefited from the boom in low cost travel, and is served by bmi baby, Wizz Air, EasyJet and Jet2, the latter three opening up routes to many European cities. There is also a daily flight to Nww York EWR on Continental, as well as direct services to Canada on Zoom. A lot of domestic flights depart from the former British Airways lounge. It is a bit more spartan these days, but there is ample seating as well as a shop and snack/drinks bar. Much improved

BFS has very nice facilities such as amusement shops, book stores, restaurants and gift shops. It is currently having a lot of low-cost airlines operating in and out between BFS and many European destinations. The only setback is that major European airlines such as KLM, BA, LH and AF do not fly into BFS, which make connections to other worldwide destinations very inconvenient, especially Asia. With CO is starting its flight between NY and BFS, it is hope that more airlines will commence their scheduled flights into BFS one day.

Unquestionably the best airport I have used as regards friendliness, hospitality and service; in true Irish fashion it is all there. Great car parking and check-in facilities and everything is pretty smooth running but I lament the moving of British Midland and British Airways to the City Airport as their services were superb and the airport is easily accessible from the M1 Motorway and is far removed from rush hour city traffic and is much more centralized for the province. A truly great airport.

Belfast Intl is 20 miles outside the city but it is quick and easy to get to. The roads are good and the twice hourly bus service to Belfast is adequate. The terminal is relatively compact. The number of shops/eateries has growm dramatically over the last year. It looks a bit dated from the outside but inside it's quite spacious, light and clean. The baggage is always quick to come through and the car parking is among the cheapest in the UK. Pity there aren't more international flights. I'm sure people would choose it over Dublin every time if they had the choice.
