Flight Connection at Belfast International Airport?

I am flying back to the UK tomorrow and have a flight with Continental to Belfast.  Once there, I am getting a flight with Easyjet to Glasgow.

I've never been to the airport in Belfast and I am wondering just how big it is?  Assuming my first flight leaves and lands on time (fingers crossed) I have about 2 hours between landing and checking in for the next flight. I feel this might be cutting it close since I have to go through immigration, then wait for my suitcase and re-check it with a different airline than the one I arrived on.

The Glasgow airport is pretty small, so something like this would be feasible.  Is the one in Belfast comparable?  I have not been able to find a map of the airport or any information about where the airlines are located in it.  I'm already preparing myself to miss it, but any help would be great.

Also, is there some one I should ask about connections when I get to Newark tomorrow, like the flight attendant?  I can't remember the last time I had a journey that involved connecting flights!

Thanks in advance! 

Unless it's gotten any bigger in the last 10 years, the Belfast airport is small.  Only one waiting room.  It seemed more like a large bus station to me at the time.

I was only flying out of Belfast back to the US and didn't have to go through immigration (I don't *think* I did anyway...hard to remember now), so don't know how long that would take, but you certainly won't have to navigate through a large busy airport once you do get through immigration.

Yes, it's very small.  I would guess smaller than Glasgow, but I've not been to Glasgow so I don't know.  I really don't think a two hour layover is anything to be worried about. 

I don't think a Continental flight attendant at Newark is going to be able to give you much information about connections on an Easy Jet flight in Belfast.  Not really sure what you wanted to ask the attendant, though.

That's what I was hoping to hear.  I think it usually takes me about 45 minutes to get through immigration and baggage claim at Glasgow, so hopefully it will be a similar experience.

I guess my reasons for asking a flight attendant are that they sometimes work the same routes, so they might be familiar with the Belfast airport if it's a flight they do regularly.  I had the same flight attendant on 3 separate flights going either to or from Glasgow last year.

Thanks! 

Oh, I thought you were going to ask about the Easy Jet flight specifically.  Yes, I'm sure the flight attendant would probably be able to tell you about the airport.

I thought this through and all you'll have to encounter while you're in the airport.  I'm assuming you'll go though immigration, get your bags, go through customs (very easy), then check in with EasyJet at the main counter, go back through security and wait for your next flight. 

If that's the case, then you should have enough time, but you will need to make sure you're sticking to that schedule and not waiting around at any point until after you're in the terminal.  Keep in mind waiting in the immigration queue, then waiting for your luggage, then waiting in the queue for your check-in and then finally going through security.

The airport is very small, but don't let that fool you into thinking you have gobs of time since half of it will be waiting in line! 

Thanks DanielD.  I'll be sure to hustle through.  Fortunately, I'm afflicted with a case of chronic punctuality so I will probably be fretting about time from the moment the plane lands. My friends joke about how stressed out I get if I'm anything other than early. 

Definitely feeling better about it!

The Belfast airport is not tiny, but not so big that I think you need to worry. I've spend more time there that I care to recall but it's quite manageable. Sometimes security checks can take a bit longer if there are flare-ups of the 'troubles' but they've got it all down to a science.

Well my first flight left an hour late but managed to make up some time and land 30 minutes late.  There was one IO handling the Non-EU line at passport control.  I got my fingers scanned which has never happened before but is fine, except for the fact that the machine wouldn't work.

The baggage took the normal painfully long time it takes to come out at any airport. 

Then they had customs guys randomly stopping people and asking the same questions IO's ask.  Guess who got stopped...

After all was said and done, I had about 20 minutes to spare when I got to check-in.  Whew!  It was a little stressful there for a minute...

Thanks again everyone for the help! 

Jeez!  Glad you asked the question and got all the help!  Imagine if you hadn't and didn't know about all the queues.  There's always only one IO at the Non-EU line and they always seem to be very particular.  I got my prints scanned on the way back in from France and the machine worked fine, no problems. 

How funny that you'd get stopped at customs too.  Murphy's law in play there!
