Travel agents from across Northern Ireland enjoy a ‘FAM’ trip to London Heathrow’s Terminal 2 with Aer Lingus and Belfast City Airport
Local travel agents have taken part in a FAM trip, hosted by George Best Belfast City Airport and Aer Lingus to London Heathrow to experience the ease of connections with the airport and the state-of-the-art facilities in T2.
Belfast City Airport facilitates the only route between Northern Ireland and London Heathrow.
The FAM trip saw agents from Northern Ireland’s top travel agencies fly from Belfast City Airport to London Heathrow with Aer Lingus. They were met by Heathrow staff to explore the fantastic offering available to travellers as well as the numerous transfer connection options.
Diane Risk, Travel Trade Consultant at Belfast City Airport said:
“These trips are hugely important to develop relationships with our travel trade partners, who we work with closely throughout the year.
“London Heathrow is an important hub for business and leisure passengers, and Belfast City Airport offers the only Northern Ireland connection to Heathrow offering fantastic convenience to our passengers.
“With early flights you can be in the city for morning meetings and home for dinner, or you can be on one of the hundreds of connecting flights across the world. At Belfast City, you are just one connection away from anywhere.
“We were able to provide agents with the opportunity to actually experience the convenience of Heathrow and the incredible service provided in T2, which serves as an advantage when finding the best travel solutions for customers.”
Andrea Hunter, Business Development Manager at Aer Lingus, said:
“We were delighted to showcase our strong offering from Belfast City Airport to London Heathrow. The route is extremely popular for business people and passengers visiting and working in London and also for travellers with onward connections.
“It was a very positive trip and the travel agents were all extremely impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities in the terminal and the easy connection process, as well as the Heathrow Express offering.
“Many thanks to all agents participating and to London Heathrow and Belfast City Airport for their stellar service.”
