Malahide is a seaside village on Dublin’s north coast - known for its castle, its marina, and the kind of unhurried pace that makes it a genuinely nice place to base yourself before or after a trip. When you’re ready to head north to catch a flight from Belfast City Airport (BHD), this private transfer takes care of the whole journey.
Your driver meets you at your hotel reception or private address in Malahide. From there it’s a direct run to BHD in a premium car or minivan, with room for up to 6 passengers. All taxes, VAT, parking charges, airport tolls, and tips are covered in the price - no surprises at the end.
Your driver meets you at your hotel reception or private address. Infant seats are available, and infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller. Suitable for all fitness levels. Price is per person. This is a private transfer.
Malahide village is worth a slow morning before your transfer departs. The main street has a good selection of cafes and independent shops, and Malahide Castle and Gardens sits just a short walk from the village centre - the grounds are open early and it’s a peaceful place for a walk before you set off north.
The drive from Malahide to Belfast City Airport takes around 2 hours under normal conditions, following the M1 motorway north through Drogheda and Newry before crossing into Northern Ireland. The border crossing is seamless - there are no passport checks or stops - but you are crossing into a different jurisdiction, so any Northern Irish pounds in your pocket will be handy for incidentals at the airport.
Belfast City Airport (BHD) sits right beside Belfast Lough, just a few minutes from the city centre. It’s a much smaller and calmer airport than Belfast International (BFS), which makes check-in and security a lot quicker. Most flights from BHD operate to UK regional destinations and some European routes.
Allow a bit of extra time if you’re travelling on a Friday afternoon - the M1 between Dublin and Drogheda can back up significantly on Friday evenings, and the Newry bypass also sees heavier traffic heading into the weekend.
