Transfer to/from - Belfast airport (BFS)

Transportation

Ride-sharing

At Belfast airport, Uber offers transport services. Passengers can use the app to request a ride to or from the site. It is important to note that there may be designated pick-up and drop-off areas, so it is best to follow directions directly from the app. Additional fees may apply for trips to or from the airport, so it is recommended to check the prices before requesting the service.

Translink's Airport Express 300 service (Tel +44 289 066 6630) runs every 15 minutes to Templepatrick and Europa Buscentre, in downtown Belfast, with a journey time of 30-40 min. and a fare of £8.50. It operates between 3:40 am and 1:50 am.

The Ulsterbus 109A links the airport with Lisburn train station (1 hour) and Antrim bus terminal (15 min.) It departs Monday to Saturday between 6:35 am and 7:22 pm, with a 1-hour frequency.

Further information

Although there are issues that seem more than obvious, it is always advisable to take them into account when moving to or from the airport, and especially if we go by public transport.  1- To the airport - It is convenient to leave with a little more anticipation than what is commonly suggested. If you choose a taxi or a private car service, always take into account peak traffic times, demonstrations, strikes or events that may delay the journey to the airport from where you are. It is always good to be informed about what is happening. If you contract a shared transfer service, have a contact telephone number handy in case of any delay by the company. In these cases they usually already have a scheduled collection time. If you use public transport (collective, train) take into account the schedules (weekends and holidays tend to have less frequency), if you have to change and also how to board (if you need a card or paying the driver or motorist at the moment ). These are details that seem obvious, but it is advisable to know so as not to have surprises and suffer a delay that could cause complications. If you rent a car to get to the airport, check where to leave the vehicle. At some airports, there is an exclusive parking lot for rental cars.  2 -From the airport- Here it is a little less stressful since you don't have the pressure of missing your flight. In the worst case, you will arrive later at the place where you are going to stay or at the meeting point where you are trying to arrive. Once you leave the plane, look for your suitcase and finish with the arrival procedures that are required. Then, follow the directions for public transportation or ask the airport staff. It is very useful to find out in advance the schedules of the buses or trains in case you arrive late at night. Not all work 24 hours. The same goes for taxis. In case of using an Uber-type service, have the mobile application handy to contact the driver. On the other hand, if you booked a private transport service, it is likely that they will have a person waiting for you, identified with a sign. If you rent a car to go from the airport to your final destination, for greater peace of mind it is advisable to book it in advance. Rental counters are usually available in the arrivals hall.
