Well, for £3.50 each way from Brizzel (and free car parking at this end, woohoo!) I made a wee trip back last week. We were 15 mins ahead of schedule (as trumpeted by the tannoy announcement on arrival) and even picking up a rental at Georgie B International, I was off the plane and on the road to Bengor in about 5 mins. Even made it to a hostelry in Bengor for a few jars before bedtime. Marvellous.

As for being held hostage on a 450KT advertising bubble for 45 mins, well, that was just about the most unpleasant experience in my life as a passenger. You couldn't get a seconds peace on the frigging flight but there was another advert over the tannoy or a fistful of scratch cards being waved under your nose (maybe I missed the point, are they scratch'n'sniff cards?).
Good job I didn't have to use the return portion of my ticket, I'll not mourn the £3.50 I wasted.
Never again, well, 'cept for the flights I've booked to Dubbers in July.

It was handier than using Muckamore despite being a great deal more annoying.
