The journey
Four hours south-west across Ireland. A long transfer, and one where a private car for a group beats a bus with two changes.
Arriving at Belfast International Airport
Belfast International is the larger of the two Northern Irish airports, eighteen miles north-west of the city near Antrim. It takes most of the long-haul and low-cost traffic, and it is the usual arrival for visitors driving the Causeway Coast or crossing the border to Dublin.
- This is the airport near Antrim, not the one by the city — check which one is on your ticket before booking a transfer.
- The Causeway Coastal Route starts here in practice: Ballymena and the Glens are under an hour.
- Dublin is under three hours, and the border crossing is invisible — no checks, no stop.
How long it really takes
Maps says 250 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, 280 to 325 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.
