This is a private tour.
Belfast Airport (BFS) - also called Belfast International - is located at Aldergrove, about 30 kilometres northwest of Belfast city centre. It’s a larger airport than Belfast City (BHD) and handles a wider range of routes, including transatlantic, European, and UK flights. It’s worth double-checking which Belfast airport your flight departs from, as the two are quite different in size and location.
The M1 motorway from Dublin to Belfast is a straightforward drive, passing through Drogheda, Dundalk, and Newry before crossing into Northern Ireland. Once you cross the border you’re on the A1 towards Belfast, and the turn-off for BFS is well signposted west of the city. The full journey from central Dublin should take around 2 hours 20 minutes in clear traffic.
Friday afternoon and Sunday evening are the busiest times on this route, with significant tailbacks on the M1 south of Drogheda and around Newry on the Northern Ireland side. If you can depart Dublin before noon on a Friday, the drive is considerably more predictable. Build in a cushion of 30-45 minutes on top of the estimated journey time if you’re travelling at peak times.
Belfast Airport has a decent range of shops and restaurants airside, but check-in queues at BFS can move slowly on busy mornings. Most airlines flying from Belfast International recommend arriving at least 2 hours before departure for short-haul flights, and earlier for long-haul routes.
