Luggage storage at and around Belfast City Airport

Plenty of passengers flying through Belfast City Airport arrive early or face a long wait between an Airbnb checkout and a late departure, with a bag, there's nowhere to leave it right at the terminal.

The airport sits three miles northeast of Belfast city centre within the Harbour Estate, mostly handling UK regional flights, and it has no left-luggage desk or lockers of its own. Sydenham Rail Halt, the nearest stop for the train into town, has no storage either, so the practical move is to head into central Belfast and use Stasher's luggage storage in Belfast. Belfast City Airport is on the east side of Belfast Docks. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day.

There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to £10,000. Stasher storage near Belfast City Airport can be booked through the website or app.

Getting between the airport and Belfast with bags

The Airport Express 600 bus runs directly to Belfast Grand Central Station every 20 minutes at peak times and every 30 minutes off-peak and at weekends, with a single at £2.30 and a day ticket at £4.00. There are no luggage racks on board, so a large suitcase stays beside you in the wheelchair or standing space rather than stowed out of the way.

A taxi rank sits at the front of the terminal, which is the easier option if you're juggling more than one bag.

Before you fly: security, liquids and waiting airside

Only passengers with a boarding pass can get beyond security to the departure area, so anyone meeting you or dropping off a bag has to stay landside. Liquids, creams, pastes, gels and aerosols up to 2 litres can stay in your cabin bag and no longer need a separate clear plastic pouch, though all frozen food and drinks are banned in hand luggage.

The Aspire Lounge beside Gate 4 is open to pre-booked or walk-up passengers and has complimentary food, drinks, charging points and privacy booths if you want somewhere quieter to wait.
