Check-in

You should check with your airline when you need to check in for your flight. As a rule, we normally recommend getting to the airport about two hours before your plane leaves. Some airlines allow online check-in now, which saves you a bit of time, as all you need to do when you get to the airport is drop your hold luggage at the bag drop before heading straight to security.

Baggage allowance

Your airline will be able to tell you what your hand and hold baggage allowance is, including the number of items of hand luggage you're allowed and what the size restrictions are. It's worth knowing that no hold bag is allowed to weigh more than 32kg, to protect baggage handlers from injury. Liquids, pastes and gels are only allowed in hand luggage if they are in containers of 100ml or less, otherwise you should pack them away in your hold luggage. Hand luggage liquids must be carried through security in a separate clear, resealable 20cm x 20cm plastic bag (each passenger is only allowed one bag of liquids). Baby food, baby milk and medicine you will need during the flight are exceptions to the 100ml rule.

Book Belfast City airport parking and hotels

Have you booked your airport parking and airport hotel yet? Don't, whatever you do, turn up on the day without having booked your parking as not only will you save money by booking with us, you know your space is guaranteed too. So check out our Belfast City airport parking page for some great deals — you can park either within the airport grounds or just outside (which tends to be slightly cheaper). If you don't want to be rushing on the day of your flight, take a look at our Belfast City airport hotels page — the Premier Inn Titanic Quarter, just 12 minutes from the airport, is particularly good value.

Dropping off passengers

You can drop passengers off in the Short-Stay car park, which is a short walk from the terminal. You get 15 minutes free and after that parking costs £2.70 for up to 30 minutes, and £5 for up to an hour. (Prices correct on August 26, 2013.)
