Does anyone here have much experience of Cardiff Airport? What's it like? How quickly can you get through the airport and on to a flight? Is 1.5 hours enough? > Does anyone here have much experience of Cardiff Airport? > > What's it like? How quickly can you get through the airport and on to > a flight? Is 1.5 hours enough? Some supplementary questions before we can give you a sensible answer: - Which airline are you flying with? - Where to? - What nationality of passport do you hold (if it's an international flight)? - Have you any bags to check in? - Are you travelling with children, elderly, disabled or anyone else who might need special assistance?

Going to Belfast British passport One bag No special needs > Don't know which airline yet. > > Going to Belfast So it will be bmibaby to Belfast International or, if you're travelling after 1 May, Flybe to Belfast City. In both cases, arriving at the airport 90 minutes before your flight will be stacks of time. Both bmibaby and Flybe have a deadline of 30 minutes before departure. If you're flying with FlyBe, you can check in online when leaving Belfast City [but NOT when leaving Cardiff], even if you have a bag. If you're with Bmibaby, you can only check in online if you are not checking a bag. > British passport No issue as it's a domestic flight. Bear in mind that Belfast International and Belfast City are quite a way apart - what's your final destination?

It can do if it's a non-EU passport and they need to satisfy themselves that the traveller will be admitted to their destination country. Granted, not usually a challenge, but if it was an exotic passport/visa/residency combination it could add a little delay. >>>passport >> >>No issue as it's a domestic flight. > > But surely photo-ID will be required, and a passport is the most robust. Oh absolutely - I was referring to the passport nationality being a non-issue as it's domestic...

I overlooked the check-in issue. SignatureRoland Perry > Bear in mind that Belfast International and Belfast City are quite a way > apart - what's your final destination? > > T Belfast City, I think. I'm going on a trip with work, and they've making all the arrangements. All I know is that the flight is leaving Cardiff at 12.45 on 11 May, and I was just checking how early I need to get up to get to Cardiff in time. Thanks for the advice. > Belfast City, I think.

A piece of advice - if you need to take a taxi from Belfast City airport to your destination, then DON'T take a black cab from the rank there. They are, to say the least, not the best drivers in the world and unfortunately overcharging and misrouting is rife. Rather, once you're off the plane, call one of the two good minicab companies in Belfast - Fonacab on 028 9023 3333 or Value Taxis on 028 9080 9080 - and they'll meet you outside the terminal. You shouldn't have to wait too long that time of day, they'll probably be there by the time your bag comes out.
