My son is arriving 25th may flying in from Liverpool at approx 7.50 am to attend an embassy appointment for visa at 9.30. How easy will it be to get there in time. Can't attend London as fully booked. Also I'm concerned flying home he won't have passport. Been told driving licence is sufficient. I'm just bit stressed aaaagggghhh

If you are so stressed tell him to get himself organised and go the night before. Will he make it in time? Maybe. But if his flight is an hour late?

Trip from airport to Belfast roughly half an hour, might be best getting a taxi from Europa to the Consulate.

This is copied from 1 of Bobby's earlier posts.

Translink runs a regular airport service between Belfast International and Europa Bus Centre in Belfast city centre. It is route number 300 and the airport stop is just outside the terminal doors. At the time of writing the fare is currently £7.50 single or £10.50 return (valid for 1 month), but please check Translink's website for the most up-to-date information, timetables,

Local taxi companies are also available and depending on your requirements you may wish to contact them for a quote. Reliable companies include Value Cabs and Fonacab, although a quick search online will give you many more options.

Thanks for all your fast responses. I think he's probably best to get a taxi from airport. Will that be faster (obviously won't be cheaper).

I just hope there no flight delay and if so maybe US consulate may be little lenient.

Lcfcfoxes i would normally agree, but this has been so last minute and as his mum I'm

Just trying to gather info to help. Can't go night before either

Again thank you

Dont miss this appointment over rush hr traffic in the city, a Taxi directly from the airport to the consulate will take the back rd avoiding the city and cost £35 , Money well spent , Why he is not staying overnight at one of the nearby b&b,s is also questionable, Remember no electronic goods are allowed into the consulate,so no mobile phone.

Thats why most visitors stay the night before and leave their phones etc in the hotel or b&b.

Put US consulate in the search box above and you will get heaps of info we have posted in the past
