Belfast isn't on either the first wave or second wave list of cities the US has selected for pre-clearance, so, would need to be very,very, very fast to be the first UK airport.

Tried to select BFS-BHX for July and it loaded but no flights are showing. Saying BHX is on sale to 28th October 2017 but nothing shows. Is this them uploading the flights or is it nothing?

Not looking good I'm afraid. In fairness though they will shift capacity rather than cut it.

Depending upon who needs to sign that off in Stormont that could be interesting. Unfortunately/fortunately depending on how you look at it a president has been set now by the United deal, that said there is a fund of assistance already signed off.

There is two problems here,
1. The aid package cannot be government funds.
2. Norwegian won't be operating to New York, but infact Stewart, which is a nice distance from New York.

Coach America are in talks with Stewart to provide a direct link to Manhattan and other tourist destinations. I hear various stories about transport from airports serving New York, the latest about EWR and how fiddly the train service is

Too far for me i'm afraid. Wouldn't be too fussed on taking a two hour bus after a 6/7 hour flight.
If Norwegian did launch it's a choice between a 90/120 odd minute bus journey at this end (IE down to DUB) or that end. Personally I'd prefer to do that kind of thing at this end as it's a familiar environment, and New York traffic!
When visiting to Paris I used to head up to DUB rather than fly from SNN to BVA and spend 2 odd hours on the bus into the city.

That argument Owenc is great until you factor in the 2hr bus ride here after the flight back. Also the interstate in US is much better than the A1. It's 60miles Stewart to NYC, DUB to Belfast is 100.
