I love to support the local Northern Ireland economy and its fantastic workers.
However it has brought it all home to me in the last few years that I realize I now fly most of the time from DUB. For example I have booked flights to Lanzarote for next summer with EI from DUB for family of 4 for ~1300 EUR (~£1100). To fly from BFS with one of the tour operators or LS would have cost >£1600. That's a saving of more than £500! Even the car parking at DUB works out cheaper (50 EUR for two weeks). Since EI moved from BFS the options for flying from NI has been limited and the gap has not yet been filled.
