BELFAST AIRPORT INTERNATIONAL

Yes the An-124 was the flight in from Houston via Portsmouth NH. Private charter for heavy equipment.

Is Aegean Airlines still operating Rhodes for Olympic Holidays? I can get Heraklion but not Rhodes.

[GAZMO]

Going by wiki, not the most reliable source, yes they are doing both

[BFS BHD]

Wouldn't go with Wiki anyone can update it...

I'm looking on Olympic Holidays website and can't find it on there.

[GAZMO]

They operated Rhodes last year but cancelled Heraklion late in season. Rhodes I believe was quite successful

Rhodes is still there along with Heraklion operated by Aegean.

Thanks AIRPORT66

I see BFS is advertising a new car park called 'parkandfly' seems to be beside the roundabout going into the airport opening Mid June.

Think it is the one that used to be 'Q Park; Park & Ride'

[GAZMO]

Thought there was enough car parks around BFS, but if it makes car parking cheaper one cannot complain.

Maybe there will be an influx of new routes so we will need extra parking space!!!!

Pity we could not get a few more around BHD!

£3 pound per day to park your car in it book under parkandfly.com i think

[GAZMO]

Does anyone know the web address to book parkandfly?

[ericlday]

Try 'park and fly belfast international airport' in Google.....a few options

[AIRPORT66]

biaparkandfly.com try that one belongs to the airport.

[El Bunto]

Not sure how finding parking links is difficult, given that *every* sectional page on the BIA website has its content pushed below-the-fold by a 'Get a parking quote!' panel.

Even the 'About Us' page... Belfast International Airport

Not a good user-experience.

[BFS BHD]

Here's the link for the new car park:

Thanks BFS BHD. Not the easiest web page to find.


Why do you think BFS needs another off site park?, Comos, McCausland, Easypark, Killead plus the main and long stay parks, surely enough choice and keen price for the 4 million pax

[ILS25]

Because it's always been there, they're paying rates for it so they may as well use it. It was normally used during the really busy periods during the summer months when the long stay was full but this past few years the long stay has never reached maximum capacity so the park and fly has lay empty.

I guess they offer parking there at a reduced rate hoping it will take away from the other offsite parking companies. Makes perfect sense.

Since Flybe left the Gatwick route do we know how many pax are using EI and Ezy.

[GAZMO]

The BFS and BHD to LGW caa stats for April are not published as yet. Probably on the website within the next few days. That should give us an indication of pax
Judging by EZY website for BFS to LGW the flights for certain days are either fully booked or very high prices

Rail Station at BFS

Heard on radio news this morning that the long awaited rail station may be soon.........................provided funding available!!!
