With two airports and more airlines than ever before offering flights to Belfast it makes it easier to get a bargain flight from Belfast to many destinations not available previously. Belfast City is served by George Best Belfast City Airport and Belfast International Airport. Belfast city is the nearest to the city centre however Belfast International is only twenty minutes away

Getting a flight to Belfast from the UK will probably mean travelling to George Best Belfast City Airport while more of the European flights tend to travel from Belfast International.

Travelling on a New York flight to Belfast or Mexico, Canada or even Florida all depart from Belfast International with airlines such as FlyGlobespan, Zoom and American airline Continental Airlines

Without the arrival of the low cost carries the flight destinations from Belfast would not have grown so fast. You can even get a Belfast flight from Blackpool saving you a lot of hassle rather than having to take a ferry.

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.

Another great thing about the arrival of the cheaper airlines you can now go on a short break from Belfast to a great destination in Europe.
