The cheapest places to fly from Belfast right now

If you live in or around Belfast and want the cheapest places to fly, the short answer is southern Spain, the Canary Islands, the Algarve and a handful of easyJet city breaks. On 46 scan days between 19 September and 9 November 2026, Blame the Fare’s deal scanner logged 751 Belfast International Airport (BFS) deal observations that pass the feed’s current trip rules, across 37 destinations. The median fare was £72 return, and every one of the 751 observations was nonstop.

That last number is the useful one. From Belfast International, a cheap fare in this data almost always meant a direct easyJet, Ryanair or Jet2 flight, not a connection through London or Manchester. Twenty-six of the 37 destinations were logged at least eight times, which is enough to publish a median; the other 11 were logged three to seven times and are described in the text without one, because a small sample is a hint rather than a pattern.

The 9 November 2026 scan, run at 03:00 UTC, logged 18 Belfast deals that pass the feed’s trip rules. They ran from £33 (Faro, four nights from 6 December on Ryanair) to £145 (Hurghada, four nights from 8 December on easyJet), and half of them were under £70. Fuerteventura was £46 for four nights from 14 December, Alicante £49 for four nights from 14 December, Málaga £50 for three nights from 13 December and Lanzarote £53 for three nights from 11 December. The full list is on the deal feed, and the Belfast International departures page shows what is checked from BFS today.

Belfast destinations by logged deal fare

“Deals logged” counts how many times the scanner recorded a qualifying fare on that route, roughly once per scan day it appeared. The table shows the 26 routes logged at least eight times, which together make up 694 of the 751 observations. Medians are rounded to the nearest pound, and “Not recorded” means the feed did not carry an airline name rather than a guess.

Google Flights returned some names in the local form, such as Eivissa for Ibiza; the table uses the familiar English name with the airport code. Paris appears twice because the two airports are different trips: in this data Beauvais was served by Ryanair and Charles de Gaulle by easyJet. Ryanair and Ryanair UK are counted together as Ryanair.

Spain, the Canaries and the Algarve: the cheapest routes

The cheapest regular Belfast routes were to southern Spain, the Canaries and the Algarve. Málaga was the most frequent of all, logged 41 times at £35 to £51 for departures from 14 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. Alicante appeared 26 times at £34 to £59, and Faro nine times at £33 to £70, mostly on Ryanair. On the 9 November scan Faro was £33, Alicante £49 and Málaga £50.

The Canaries were almost as cheap. Lanzarote appeared 33 times at £31 to £56, all but one on Ryanair, Fuerteventura 19 times at £32 to £54 on easyJet, and Gran Canaria 22 times at £46 to £74. Tenerife South cost a little more, at £62 to £95 over 24 sightings, mostly on easyJet. Further north, Palma ran £44 to £87 over 31 sightings, Reus £66 to £107 over 27 and Barcelona £64 to £81 over 17, every Barcelona sighting for a departure between 7 and 12 April 2027. Ibiza ran £76 to £98 over 30 sightings, all for departures in October 2026, mostly on Jet2. Menorca was logged only three times, at £87 to £91, which is too few to call a pattern. Our guide to the best time to book flights to the Canary Islands explains how the island groups differ.

The cheapest city breaks from Belfast

Paris Beauvais was the cheapest city break in the whole dataset: 29 Ryanair sightings at £30 to £56, with a £34 median, all for departures between 21 September and 19 October 2026. Beauvais is a separate airport from Charles de Gaulle, so price the transfer into Paris before you compare it with the easyJet flights to Charles de Gaulle, which appeared 16 times at £55 to £68. On the 9 November scan Paris was £68 for four nights from 30 November on easyJet.

Kraków appeared 33 times at £41 to £78, and was £66 for four nights from 22 November on the 9 November scan. easyJet covered most of the other cities: Geneva 35 times at £53 to £78, Lyon 12 times at £60 to £93, Prague 33 times at £61 to £93, Amsterdam 34 times at £75 to £98 and Rome 27 times at £67 to £99. The 9 November scan had Geneva at £78 for three nights from 24 December, Rome at £94, Budapest at £96 and Amsterdam at £98. Budapest, Porto, Salzburg and Vienna were each logged three to seven times, too few for a median: Budapest ran £71 to £96, Porto £60 to £109, Salzburg £66 to £72 and Vienna £141 to £167.

Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Greece and Lapland

Marrakesh was the standout longer trip. It appeared 39 times at £49 to £73 on easyJet, with a £58 median, and was £61 for four nights from 16 December on the 9 November scan. Enfidha in Tunisia appeared 17 times at £72 to £148. Malta was logged six times at £59 to £103, a small sample. Our guide to cheap winter sun from the UK compares the warmest of these destinations.

Egypt was frequent but dearer. Sharm El-Sheikh appeared 38 times at £105 to £157 and Hurghada 43 times at £141 to £216, all easyJet nonstops; the 9 November scan had Sharm at £121 and Hurghada at £145. In Greece, Rhodes appeared 28 times at £109 to £220 and Corfu nine times at £95 to £117. Larnaca, Dubrovnik, Dalaman, Antalya and Heraklion were each logged three to seven times, at £101 to £217 between them. Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland appeared 22 times at £69 to £109, every sighting for the same four-night easyJet trip from 22 December 2026, and it was £95 on the 9 November scan.

Which airlines carry the cheap Belfast fares

easyJet carried 490 of the 751 Belfast observations, about two in three. Ryanair carried 128, Jet2 67, and 66 observations carried no airline name. The carriers split the map: Ryanair led on Paris Beauvais, Lanzarote, Málaga and Kraków; easyJet on Marrakesh, Geneva, Prague, Amsterdam, Rome, Fuerteventura and Egypt; and Jet2 on Ibiza and half of the Rhodes sightings.

Ryanair said on 29 July 2026 that it had carried more than 7 million passengers through Belfast International Airport since it began flying there a decade earlier, and that it was operating 166 weekly flights on 15 routes from the airport in summer 2026. Bag rules decide whether a cheap fare is really cheap. easyJet says everyone can bring one small under-seat cabin bag of up to 45 by 36 by 20 centimetres and 15 kilograms for free; a large cabin bag of up to 56 by 45 by 25 centimetres has to be booked, and easyJet says one added at the boarding gate costs £60. Check the Ryanair and Jet2 allowances on the airline’s own site before you book, and our guide to cabin bag sizes by airline compares the limits.

Why some cheap Belfast fares never reach the feed

Of 814 Belfast International observations stored between 19 September and 9 November, 63 did not reach the feed. Fifty-two were domestic UK flights, mainly to Southampton and Leeds, which the feed hides because they are not the holiday trips members ask for. Five were stays shorter than the feed’s minimum for the flight length, and six were for destinations without a reviewed photo.

The rules apply when the feed is read, so the numbers in this guide are what a member would actually have been shown, not every fare a search engine returned. Belfast City Airport (BHD) fares are not part of this data at all. If you live closer to the city airport, our comparison of Belfast International and Belfast City explains which airlines fly from each.

Getting to Belfast International Airport

The ground journey belongs in the price. Visit Belfast says Belfast International Airport is a 30-minute drive from Belfast city centre, and that the Translink Airport Express 300 bus runs between the airport and the city centre. It lists easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, Virgin Atlantic, TUI and Wizz as airlines that fly from the airport.

Translink says its airport services run to Belfast International from towns and cities across Northern Ireland, and that tickets can be bought online or from ticket machines at Belfast Grand Central Station and at the Belfast International Airport bus stop. For rail passengers north of Antrim, Translink sells a £2.20 airLink add-on ticket that covers the Ulsterbus 109a to the airport from stations including Ballymena, Coleraine, Portrush and Derry~Londonderry. If Belfast International is not your nearest airport, our guide to the cheapest airports to fly from explains when a longer trip to another airport pays off.

How to catch a cheap fare from Belfast

1. Start with Spain, the Canaries and the Algarve. Paris Beauvais, Faro, Málaga, Alicante, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura all had medians of £46 or less.
2. Start with the destination, not the date. Open the deal feed and shortlist places under your price ceiling before you fix a week.
3. Check trip length. Cheap Belfast fares ranged from two-night city breaks to two-week Canaries trips; move the dates a day either way and watch the price.
4. Add bags and the bus. Put the cabin bag, hold bag and the Airport Express or 109a journey on the same line as the ticket, especially on Ryanair and easyJet.
5. Compare with a second airport. The Edinburgh and Glasgow guide shows what cheap fares looked like across the water, and our hub of the best flight search sites shows which to cross-check before paying.
