Getting around BHD

George Best Belfast City sits on the Sydenham Bypass inside Belfast itself — the airport puts the city centre five minutes away and claims one of the shortest security averages in the UK, around six minutes. It is small by design: 2.36 million passengers in 2025 per the CAA, five scheduled airlines sharing one terminal, and a planning cap that keeps scheduled flights between 06:30 and 21:30. Downtown is a Translink 600 bus ride to Grand Central Station, an NI Railways train from Sydenham halt over its footbridge, or a Value Cabs taxi from the rank at the door — City Hall in roughly ten minutes. Do not confuse it with Belfast International: they are separate airports.

Into Belfast
Translink’s 600 picks up right outside the doors and makes Grand Central in about 10 minutes.
Parking
Three on-site car parks, all self-park — and ten free drop-off minutes in the Long Stay.
Aspire Lounge
One lounge beside Gate 4, walk-up or pre-booked, with no flight calls inside.
