Getting to Belfast
“There are flights between Belfast International Airport and all major UK destinations, including Birmingham (BHX), Bristol (BRS), Edinburgh (EDI), Glasgow (GLA), Liverpool (LPL), Manchester (MAN) and Newcastle (NCL), as well as from London’s Gatwick (LGW), Luton (LTN) and Stansted (STN) airports. Budget airlines Ryanair and easyJet both offer cheap flights to Belfast International Airport.
“Ferries […] depart from both Scotland and England with journey times of from just two hours and 15 minutes. Alternatively, if you are coming from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, you can take a train or a bus, both of which take around two hours.”
