FAQs for booking flights from the United States to Northern Ireland

  • 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?

  • 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 return ticket. You could then fly to Northern Ireland with an airline and back to the United States 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 to Northern Ireland from the United States up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United States

  • 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.

Great. Loved that there was WiFi on flight to keep in touch and excellent service of beverages and snacks.

Business class is great. New airplane, very comfortable, better than some of the major airlines I am used to

Terrible. Flight was cancelled due to the weather in the east and sout east(florida). Did not get any compesation of any kind. According to them, it was not under their control so I lost all the money paid for the 2 fairs from Raleigh, NC to Orlando, Fl.

great flight. Pilot was communicative, flight attendants were excellent. Really nice experience except my tv didn’t work.

Overall, the flight was better than the flight I took to go to Florida, which had a bunch of problems. The crew is really nice and the plane was new so it had a small problem when we were on the runway, but the flight itself was great. They even made some time back up, which is always a good thing.

at the time for boarding the lady just call Group A and no other goups and everybody from A to F go inside without the right turn,and when we get in theres no more spsce for carry on , the ones that get in at not correct group from the back occupy our space !!!!! a mess !!!!

There were multiple delays but JetBlue tried to make the boarding and departure process as quick and efficient as possible. The crew was as detached from reality as could be, meaning: not very friendly and just doing things by the numbers.

I had back trouble prior to my flight and everyone was great about helping me.

Jetblue needs to improve on Onboarding as it seems to always be behind on departing. It never leaves on time. I would recommend to have an earlier Onboarding in order to leave on time and respect your customers time as well.

40 minute delay before take off after boarding flight. Bright lights throughout night flight due Issues with light panels. In flight Entertainment nonfunctional

I paid $380 for my one-way ticket from California to Minnesota. The fair did not include online check-in. I received instructions from their app to check in at a kiosk. At the kiosk, the boarding pass would not print until an actual person came to verify that I had a personal item and not a carry-on item, On the plane, the person next to me was drunk and allowed to continue to order alcohol. United is garbage I’d rather fly spirit.

The plane was dirty and the in seat air wasn't blowing as planes usually do.

Generally good but there wasn’t any staff available when my luggage didn’t appear at baggage claim in Fresno. It took about half an hour to locate a staff member to open up the locked room where it was being kept.

Do not like the feeling of being in the basic economy. Everyone should feel good no matter what.

All flights were on time and boarding was issue free

Terrible! The plane was old and you are required to connect your own device to their Wi-Fi rather than have entertainment options in the back of the seat in front of you. The Wi-Fi went out during the flight and there was only one plug for the devices every two seats. Three out of five surrounding my family did not work. The seats and spaces under them were so small I could not fit my backpack, which I’ve always brought on flights and fit before no problem. The crew were unpleasant and patronizing.

Great! The plane was decently sized and comfortable. The staff was nice and there was great in flight entertainment

Food was terrible Not many options Stewards dont care Delay

Water service would be great. The way they board is terrible. Slow passengers first😂😂 They need to smart up a bit

Our original business class flight was cancelled so we not only downgraded but we were also spread out across the plane not sitting together in separate middle seats. My poor kids were scared and couldn’t see me on the flight and the crew wasn’t sensitive to the situation and what the airlines did to us. Very dissatisfied with United airlines.

Terrible boarding , Business class seats are sub standard. As usual crew will miss your food too

Just get Economy Plus for international flights, so worth it the extra room, bigger seats…

The return trip was a customer service disaster. American Airlines needs an overhaul of how they treat their customers.

Was flying in premium eco and there were around 5-6 movies I wanted to watch and none of those could I play for some reasons. Not just me we checked w the person sitting next to me. Few of the movies were only playable :( Also that was not great that we couldn't upgrade to business however tried to, many times before the flight :(

You cancelled my flight by email then made it very difficult to get in contact with you. Then put me in a flight with a long layover in Mexico returning to the wrong airport in uk. Mind blowing my stressful. I missed see my grand dad because of you.

This was not the BA business class it used to be. Mediocre food, attendants seemed stretched thin. All the little luxuries that used to make BA business fun were missing. Flight delayed and the explanation given was they forgot to pick up crew - I hope I misheard! Transfer in LHR “sticky” - we thought we had way too much time at 3hours but it was needed. Next time will try different route.

Always getting updates by email very easy to check in on line. There was plenty of checking in staff to get you all through. It was nice that the flight attendants took time to talk to you and were interested in your holiday.

Flight from Phoenix to London was very quiet. Excellent space available for comfort, couldn't fault

Food was very average. And top up drinks offer was absent. For a 11 hour long flight that should be the minimum. The crew didn't want to be there. I understand it was new year day but given they had signed up for it

It was my fault choosing the seat nearest the entrance but it was ok.

I paid for WiFi, but it (WiFi) was very very slow, will never take again! Impossible open Utube 😤😤😤

I had no legroom, although I paid for extra legroom. I could barely put my bag in front of my feet and under the seat. The Wi-Fi was horrible. In fact the flight attendant said that they had to reboot it and see if it was going to work and never did.

The guy with severe body odor sat next to me. For the whole duration of the flight it was a torture. The airline should have better policy on limiting people with bad body odor to board the flight. Passengers should not be the ones to endure bad odor for the whole duration of the flight. The airline should be e the one to ensure decent air quality for ever passenger.

Overall it was a miserable experience... I will never fly spirit for more than a 3 hour flight or overnight.

The boarding attendant was slightly rude when I asked about checking our stroller. Made me feel like I was bothering her.

My wife and I are both handicapped and at boarding they upgraded us to a seat closer to the front rather than all the way towards the back. Much appreciated.

Not much seat room, but that was unexpected. But the seat headrest was very uncomfortable.

First the good, everyone was friendly and efficient. Flight was smooth and plane was very clean and new. Now the bad, seats have almost no padding on your behind. I was in exit row so I had tons of leg room for a 6' 2" bean pole with long legs. Everything was extra - water, soda, snacks everything besides oxygen. Ya get what you pay for, and my flight was cheap as you could ever want it, so no worries.

They dont really bother you about carry-on size, I brought a descent sized backpack and they didnt even check.

Spirit canceled the flight in March and never notified me!

Six hour delay. Poor customer service. No voucher. Bad communication. Missed important appointments.

Our flight was delayed an hour, then when we got to board our flight finally, we were waiting in our seats for take off for 45 minutes before it was communicated that there was a maintenance issue therefore we waited on the plane for over an hour while that was resolved. We did not get to Phoenix until almost 3 hours after we were originally supposed to. This was the first and last time I will be flying Frontier.

Flight was canceled with little warning. Flight was rebooked through Ontario, California and connecting flight was delayed by over three hours. Frontier is living up to their Greyhound of the skies reputation for sure.

I purchased a carry on bag online…was supposed to cost $72 but after a whole slew of bs charges, the total was over $175.00. Because of these hidden charges, I will not even consider flying Frontier ever again. It’s just not worth the hassle. I’m scratching this company off my list forever.

Flight was OK. Seats were good no cell phone charges on the plane no TVs or entertainment.

There were 3 leg for the trip and each leg was delayed by 90 minutes or more. The boarding process takes forever with people waiting on the jetway even though most folks do not have carry-on. The whole process is poorly managed.

Flight cancelled and was told by a rude gate agent that they don’t accommodate on other airlines. Had to wait 5 hours for a connecting flight that had a 7 hour layover. Would not allow bags to be checked early so we couldn’t go through security .Had to rent a car for the afternoon to store bags and get a meal. Also incurred a hotel fee. No apology or reason given for the cancellation- just rudeness.

They cancelled the flight then did nothing to help us rebook. It was awful - I won’t fly with them again

The process of buying the ticket and navigating all the hidden charges that Frontier throws at you was a terrible experience. The actual airport experience and flying was fine.

The truck that was refueling the plane drove away with the hose still connected to the plane and ripped part of the plane off with it
