Yes you’ve a bus to catch , but it’s dedicated to Norwegians flight schedule, if the flights late it’s still there for you, from parking brake set at Stewart you can be on the bus in under 15 minutes, of course you can do the same to JFK but tarmac delays and then getting into town can take far far longer than the just over the hour trip from Stewart, no surprise it’s gone to double daily and rumoured increase to 3 daily next year.
The suits use BHD to LHR to New York and would never have been attracted to the the single class Norwegian product into SWF with no onward connections.
Whilst I like visiting Belfast I try to avoid routing back to my base via BFS if at all possible LHR to my home isn’t a great deal longer than Belfast centre to BFS airport.
