FAQs - booking Northern Ireland flights

  • I’m searching for flights to Northern Ireland from San Francisco. Which airports do I choose?

    If you want the most hassle-free trip, you should choose an airport with flights operated by British Airways with a layover in London Heathrow. From London, you can catch a flight without changing airlines to Belfast City Airport. From San Francisco, your options are flying from the San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which is 13 min from the city center, or from the San Jose International Airport (SJC), which is less busy but is a 46 min drive from downtown San Francisco. Both airports have flights operated by British Airways to London Heathrow. If you prefer a calmer airport in San Francisco that’s also closer to the city, look for flights departing from Oakland International Airport (OAK), which is 24 min from downtown. Norwegian operates nonstop flights to London Gatwick (LGW), from which point you can catch a low-cost flight to Belfast International Airport on easyJet.

  • Which airport in Northern Ireland is closest to Titanic Belfast?

    Belfast City Airport is the closest to Titanic Belfast (10 min). However, if you’re on a flight to Northern Ireland on a low-cost airline, you’ll most likely land at the Belfast International Airport, which is a 25 min drive from Titanic Belfast.

  • What is the best airport in Belfast to stay close to the city center?

    Belfast City Airport is the closest airport to the city center (13 min). Keep in mind that this airport is only served by flights from elsewhere in the United Kingdom and Europe, so you’ll always have to account for a layover when flying here.

  • I’m traveling to Londonderry. What’s the best airport for a layover?

    Londonderry is served by the City of Derry Airport (LDY), which receives regular flights operated by Ryanair and Loganair from London Stansted (STN), Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Liverpool. The airports of Manchester, Edinburgh, and Glasgow are the only ones that receive flights from the United States from various cities. If you want an airport with the most options of airlines and destinations, then choose Manchester International Airport (MAN). A hub for Thomas Cook Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, this airport receives regular flights from Philadelphia, Houston, New York, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Orlando.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United States to Northern Ireland?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United States to Northern Ireland.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United States to Northern Ireland?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from the United States to Northern Ireland is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United States to Northern Ireland?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly from the United States to Northern Ireland with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United States to Northern Ireland?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United States to Northern Ireland up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Northern Ireland

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Northern Ireland flight deals.
  • Northern Ireland is served by three airports: two in Belfast, the capital city, and one in Londonderry, about 1h 30m from Belfast. Keep in mind that nonstop flights to Northern Ireland from the United States are usually seasonal, so you’ll have to account for at least one layover in another city in the United Kingdom or elsewhere in Europe.
  • The Belfast International Airport (BFS) is the one with the most airlines and routes to choose from, but keep in mind that most flights are operated by low-cost airlines flying in from other European cities. When searching KAYAK for a flight to Northern Ireland landing at BFS, you will need to choose flights with multiple airlines.
  • If you prefer to have a layover at an airport served mostly by major airlines, the George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) has regular flights to Northern Ireland operated by KLM from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) and by British Airways from London Heathrow (LHR).
  • If you prefer a trip without layovers and are flexible about which airports to use in the United States, then look for nonstop flights to Northern Ireland operated by Thomas Cook Airlines. They have seasonal flights to Belfast International Airport from Las Vegas and Orlando (MCO), in partnership with Virgin Atlantic.
  • US citizens don’t need a tourist visa to enter Northern Ireland if they’re not staying for more than three months, but keep in mind that you need a passport that is valid for at least six months after your date of arrival in the country.

Landed without a gate ready. Plane is extremely old and dirty.

Landed without a gate ready. Plane is extremely old and dirty.

All the amenities was wonderful, if they could keep their prices that low. I'd fly with them all the time.

Very old plane with no inflight entertainment. I purchased the internet pass and it was nearly unusable.

My tray was broken so i had no place to work or eat except my lap. Flight attendant said I would get an email with some credit or miles, it was a complete waste of time as I could only function at about 20% of normal. I have not received anything yet.

Short trip, no food and therefore no expectation for much interaction with staff who were pleasant and professional. My critique is on comfort of the seats. Exit rows and comfort seats do not provide enough personal space for 3 side-by-side seats, especially when in the middle row. Some passengers are not considerate of the middle seat and there should be signs that state something to the effect of: "please consider giving middle seats use of the armrests."

My flight yesterday evening was delayed 3.5 hours with no water or food service. Poor experience

Transparency from pilots, quick boarding and exiting the plane, staff greeted to each and everyone,

Didn't like sitting on the waiting pad for 30 minutes right after departing the gate. If you're going to do that, just don't board so people can still get up and walk around in the terminal. My luggage was damaged by the baggage handlers.

Pilots lied about waiting on “paperwork”. Sat in the plane for over an hour, waiting on some papers to be printed according to the pilot and then all of a sudden he says good news maintenance is finally on their way. Maybe they can fix it before we get our paperwork. Ended up missing my connection in LaGuardia and as a result, had a fly home to Lexington instead of the Louisville airport. Then paid $100 to uber to Louisville since it was midnight by the time I got in. I wish they would just be transparent with passengers sometimes and not try to beat around the bush on why things are delayed.

The WiFi was horrific. I fly delta often and love their (usually reliable and free) WiFi. On this flight it was intermittent and when it did connect was extremely slow. I couldn’t get any work done while I was on the flight which was extremely frustrating. I was also in the exit row seat where there is now immediate seat in front of you, so while the leg room was nice, I couldn’t even watch the TV when the internet wasn’t working. Finally, for the last 20 mins of the flight, the announcement indicator came on the TV screens and took them over, even though no announcement was being made. Really disappointed.

The business class layout of chairs was weired. You are sitting directly across stranger.,

We did not have enough time to make our connecting flight. As a result, we were put onto a different airline for our second leg. The different airline was NOT comparable to British Airlines, and our arrival was significantly delayed. The actual flight on BA was amazing.

Tv screens and movie selection v good. Friendly staff. They were really worried about max capacity and room for carryons. That is never fun but i had no problem finding space when I boarded.

My flight to London from Philadelphia was cancelled due to weather.

Disliked having to wait a little longer to disembark from the plan when we landed in London

Food should be better quality. Video screens have poor resolution and the library of movies is poor. The other airlines are much better.

The trip was smooth but the crew were very abrupt, snatching things before finished and being quite snappy when asked questions.

My wife and I love to travel, so we fly a lot. We've already logged 381,075 miles and with practically every major airline. But this flight was very disappointing. It started off well, with no delays and a new plane. But when lunchtime approached, all that good impression was ruined. Instead of white tablecloths, we were offered small, dark placemats, which, as it turned out, were perfectly adequate for the food. All the food offered—and my wife and I only took fish, and the meat—was not just bad, it was downright disgusting and not heated enough. The same applies to the appetizers. This was the first time in many years of traveling that we've been offered such disgusting food.

Lost luggage stuck no clothes and no word after 2 days leaving on cruise no stuff or clothes

Don’t know they cancelled the flight day before I was to leave. They sent a email at 9:00 pm at night saying they cancelled. That is the smooth way to say we don’t want your business! I think they didn’t have enough people booking so they cancelled the flight! It’s all about the money anymore there is no honesty in business.

Flight delayed, connection was not at gate listed and so missed, staff were rude at Heathrow, phone tree stupid and difficult, took me 21 actual hours to reach my destination. Almost lost my hotel reservation after walking in a strange city alone after midnight because they would not put me up in a hotel at sfo or heathrow. I will never fly BA again and will tell all people and Instagram followers never to fly BA.

Overall ok. Best part has always been the sundae dessert.

I’ve never been on a trans-Atlantic (or Pacific) flight where the seats don’t recline—not even a little. I asked my seat mate when BA starting doing this and he said “Oh, a few years ago.” I couldn’t sleep, with my head falling forward waking me continuously, and came off the plane incredibly stiff. I booked a Premium Economy seat to get a more comfortable seat, which was worse than most basic Economy seats I’ve ever booked.

Nice aircraft. Good crew. Delayed departure from Houston, but arrived on time in London. Main thing I don’t like about flying BA is having to transit through security in London Heathrow. A major pain!

The gate agent made me check my carry-on in Denver, even though I've traveled all over taking this case on the plane. Beware folks. Food in Premium Economy was quite good - excellent blanket! Flight attendants on the Heathrow-to-Budapest flight on 3-27-2026 were quite snappy. I got a frown when asked to unscrew the water bottle cap for me (I had a cast on my right arm). Also woke up right when they were handing out biscuits. She had given my rowmates one and was in the process of giving water when I asked for a biscuit. She scolded me and said, "You snooze, you lose". She did give me one, but I thought that comment was uncalled for.

Wish the food and overall service was better. They treat Business class passengers same as economy

WiFi wasn’t available to economy until the end of the flight.

Very good staff members with sincere passion and responsibility in their job.

Very please with the seating that the Kayak staff booked for us!

Worth every penny to upgrade to BC. Treated and felt more like First Class
