James FergusonJuly 29, 2018Nice airport with duty free, souvenir shops, Starbucks as well as a restaurant + bar after security. Perfect to stock up on Tayto crisps from WHSmith before your flight - the Salt & Vinegar are my fav
Vicki DavyJune 14, 2016Follow the signs to the toilets and you'll find a reasonable amount of seating. Much better than Belfast International!Upvoted Aug 9- The airport taxis at the rank outside will charge at least double what you'd pay a local firm. Call Value Cabs (02890809080) when you land, or there's a freephone by the left-most exit.Upvoted Aug 11
Tim MonroeMay 12, 2012Get there early to avoid disappointment. Like what I did this evening. Go me! (bmi great as always!) Some shops and cafes appeared to be closed - odd for 8pm on a Saturday?
If you're leaving for longer than a few weeks, do yourself a favour and have a pint of the black stuff. It tastes rank everywhere else...
- Excellent location, as only a short distance from city centre. Big enough departure lounge and friendly staff
If you are leaving on a weekday morning allow plenty of time for security checks. And try and be as prepared as the commuters :-)
Departures is pretty small considering the amount of people so is very busy. There is a severe shortage of seats!
There is very little seating once you get through security, so grab it quick!
Like all airports the parking food and drink are over priced to a captive audience. Still it has now grown up as an airport from the old portacabin days
Pete ChilcottJuly 8, 2013True for all airports but this one in particular - arrive in plenty of time as Flybe checkins were under staffed and the security area was under pressure
Nenny NieveraJuly 24, 2019When you depart dont tell them you flying with flybe so they wont oblige you to check in your luggage
Andrew LeckieJune 10, 2013Perfectly placed airport - Less than a tenner for a cab into the city centre.
- Security are thorough, so it's slow. I thought I was about to get a strip search!!
Peter McGurkJuly 14, 2013Don't know what people are talking about security delays. Busy peak holiday season Sunday afternoon, security took 9 minutes end to end. Seems ok to me!
Airport bus to city very good service to city centre. £ 2.20 single
Don't go near WH Smith in the lounge if your short on time- by the time they are done trying to upsell to you, you'll have missed your flight!
Bogdan ZadorozhnyJuly 24, 2023The BA lounge is no more and the fast track mixes regular passengers in. Rather strange and inefficient airport.- There are two eating areas, a pub and a WH Smiths upstairs.
Use BMI check in machines to select seats for your whole flight on star alliance.
Convenient for getting to/from Belfast, but poor lounge area with lack of good eating options.
Gerry WaldronSeptember 10, 2018Changed layout. Now you can’t avoid going through duty free. Terrible crowds outside departure gates. Do yourself a favour and make a small purchase in the restaurant to get a seat.
Barrie BirchMarch 31, 2011Find o'briens in the departure lounge it's well hidden therefore always quiet. Also better toilets are there too
Graham PattersonSeptember 5, 2011To get fuel for hire car when going from city you need to drive past airport and go to Tesco just south of airport entrance- One of the main sets of seats doesn't even have a TV screen showing departures. Should be looked into I think.
Anna ScothernDecember 5, 2012Security even make you remove (hard to get off) gold bangles - seems a bit excessive!
iamneilJune 25, 2011Check in using self service did so fir FlyBe 36hrs prior flight, made trip so much easier
Victoria KirbySeptember 26, 2010Go celebrity spotting. Already seen Christine and Frank, Gloria Hunniford and Theresa May in half an hour walking through Belfast City Airport!
God the staff here are grumpy...especially check in at flybe and security - total jobsworths..
Shame about the new forced retail maze. But they all do it!
Anya HigginsNovember 24, 2013Don't fly close to wire on a Sunday eve! It's rammed getting thru security
