Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.
