Belfast is served primarily by two airports: Belfast International (BFS) and George Best Belfast City (BHD). Belfast International, northwest of the city, typically functions as a larger, low-cost and charter hub with many budget and leisure carriers; fares here can often be more competitive for European routes. It lies about 26 km from the city centre and is usually reached by car or shuttle buses in roughly 30–45 minutes; express coach services run to central Belfast with fares commonly in the £6–£10 range. Pros: more flight options and parking; cons: farther out and fewer late-night public transport links. George Best Belfast City sits on the eastern side of Belfast Lough and typically serves as the city’s more convenient airport for business and short-haul flights, often used by full-service and regional airlines. It’s close to the city centre — roughly 3–6 km depending on destination — and reachable by taxi or regular bus services in about 10–20 minutes, with fares usually around £3–£10. Pros include quick access and shorter transfer times; cons can be higher prices and fewer low-cost carriers. Both airports can be handy depending on whether you prioritise price, schedules or proximity.
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Scotland’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, including British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair, making it a common choice for both business and leisure travelers. It sits about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre; tram and Airlink bus services usually take 25–35 minutes into New Town/Princes Street, with fares generally in the low-to-mid single figures, while taxis can be quicker but cost more. Pros: compact terminal layout and frequent connections to central Edinburgh. Cons: can be busy during peak tourist seasons and security queues may be longer at times.
