Belfast International Airport parking: a few minutes' walk whichever you choose

Belfast International Airport at Aldergrove is the larger of the two Belfast airports and the base of easyJet and Jet2 in Northern Ireland; a single terminal with car parks right in front of it. The overview above lists the options the airport describes itself, with walking times. Prices are not on this page, because they change with the season and with booking ahead; the current figure is on the official page linked above.

Which car park fits

The Short Stay Car Park and the Main Car Park are both a three-minute walk from the terminal: the first for a pick-up or a few hours, the second for a short trip, and the airport advises booking the Main car park. The Premium Car Park, also three minutes away, needs booking and has spaces for disabled drivers. For a holiday, the Long Stay Car Park is a four-minute walk and the cheaper choice on the airport; Park & Fly, the closest off-site car park, runs a two-minute shuttle and must be booked.

Getting there and the alternatives

The airport is on the A57 off the M2 at junction 5, about half an hour north-west of Belfast, and the car parks are signposted from the motorway. Without a car, buses stop at the front of the terminal building, with the Airport Express 300 to Belfast city centre, and coaches use the Coach Park behind the taxi stand. For flights to Great Britain, Belfast City is closer to the centre. The arrivals and departures of Belfast International are in the tabs above; every airport we follow is in the airport overview.
