Hi, anyone know of flights that go from Belfast to Blackpool. I know you can get the ferry and coach and go that way.

Thanks in anticipation

Its about an hour by train, and should cost around £10

Most are direct too.

Easyjet fly from the international to Manchester, as do Ryanair i think now, and Flybe fly from the city.

umm train services are down due to electrification (blackpool - manchester), they have been bussing in and out from preston for quite a while

not sure if this is valid now , but needs checking first

Umm, the train services aren't 'down' they are still operating, there may be a bus service from Preston but the trains are still operating and on schedule. Still probably the most effective way to get to Blackpool

You didnt say operating you said "down".

"The train services are down" implies the train services arent running. They are - they just have a bus substitution for one part of the journey. You dont even have to make your own way by bus - the bus is part of the train substitution service.

Not difficult and still the most effective way
