Now known as George Best Belfast City Airport, renamed in memory of the controversial professional footballer, the terminal is small, with a large pub, just a couple of cafes and a shop, plus two airport lounges, it still manages to handle over two million passengers a year, but well shy of the numbers who head through it's larger namesake, Belfast International, on the other side of the city.

Almost all flights are to the UK, mainly on BA or Flybe, but there are a few international flights south of the border.

There is unlimited free WiFi for up to 4 hours.
