- Free cancellation until 24 hours before pick-up.
- One suitcase and one bag per passenger. More than that, tell us when you book.
The journey
An hour and a half north-west. The bus takes over three hours with a change; for a group or a family, the car is the simpler start.
Arriving at Belfast City Airport
Belfast City Airport is three miles from the centre, beside the docks and the Titanic Quarter. It is small, quick and mostly used by business travellers and by flights from Great Britain — the sort of airport where the journey to the hotel can take longer to arrange than to make.
- This is the airport beside the city, not the one near Antrim. They are thirty kilometres apart.
- The Titanic Quarter and the SSE Arena are minutes away — often quicker by car than the walk from a train station.
- For the Causeway Coast, allow an hour and a half from here.
How long it really takes
Maps says 91 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.
Realistically, 121 to 166 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.
When to book
Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.
Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.
