Cheap flights to Belfast
The port capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast offers an intriguing blinding blend of modern culture and architectural heritage. The city’s colourful and often turbulent history is evident in everything from its Edwardian townhouses to the trendy bars dotting cobbled streets, as well as in its ultramodern Titanic Quarter. This recently completed waterside development is home to historic landmarks, modern apartments and state of the art entertainment facilities.
When should I book cheap flights to Belfast?
Although the capital has plenty to offer all year round, the summer is undoubtedly the most popular season. The city is also alive with festivals in the spring and autumn, such as St Patrick’s Day, which takes place in March.
For this reason, the cheapest flights to Belfast can usually be found from December to February when the weather gets a little rainy and the locals hunker down beside a roaring fire with a creamy pint of Guinness.
However, so long as you book far enough in advance, you should be able to find cheap flights to Belfast all year round.

All flights to Belfast land at one of two airports. You will either fly to Belfast International (BFS) or George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD). Belfast International is the busier of the two airports. The smaller airport, George Best Belfast City, is located closer to the city centre.

There are also trains available from the nearby Sydenham railway station, which will have you in the heart of Belfast in no time at all.
An Airport Express 600 bus service operates from George Best Belfast City Airport.
