Belfast to Chicago Flights

Fly from Belfast International Airport

Belfast International Airport can serve as your gateway to the rest of the world. With a variety of internal and international flights from Belfast each day, it is easy to leave the rain of Northern Ireland behind and jet off to catch some sun. The airport is located approximately 15 miles out of the city, and offers regular flights to many major European destinations. It is not to be confused with the smaller George Best Belfast City Airport.

Plenty of parking spaces are available, and it is much cheaper if you book online before travelling. If you would rather leave the car behind, there are bus links to the rest of Northern Ireland and dedicated services from Londonderry and Lisburn that ferry travellers to the flights Belfast offers. If you are travelling light, you can even park a bicycle securely at the airport.

If you have a little time in to spend in Belfast before your departure, it would be a shame to miss out on the sights of the city. Belfast is packed with history, and was the birthplace of the Titanic. The city is awash with beautiful buildings and places of interest. Visitors should ensure that they take the time to see Belfast City Hall, the Grand Opera House and the recently restored Albert Clock.

Once you arrive at the airport, it is easy to kill a few hours in the terminal. There are plenty of places to sit down, have a meal, or enjoy a coffee. Duty free shopping is also available, so you can browse for a book to keep you entertained. Log on to ebookers.com for more information and great deals on flights from Belfast to Chicago.

Chicago is a city of opposites, its restaurants being equally notable for cutting-edge cuisine as for down-to-earth fare. There are sandy beaches, summer outdoor festivals and bars that buzz until the early hours of the morning. The Art Institute of Chicago is the United States' second largest art museum and is home to a fabulous array of treasures. Not to be missed, are its impressive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings and the Miros and Picassos located on the third floor. The Chicago Skydeck is on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower and, as the third tallest building in the world, it offers some spectacular views of Chicago. Those who are not afraid of heights can stand on the glass balcony which extends out from the side of the building offering a breath taking vertical view of the city below.
