IOM to Belfast - weekend flight schedule

This is an essential route to the IOM

I am fed up of the island being held to ransom and left out at sea by all transport providers. We need viable services from all

We need direct flights from IOM to Belfast at least twice a day including weekends and at reasonable prices

I support this petition

Please find airline to take place of city wing. Just flew to the island using flybe (see rant on my face book page) total cost £330 endless delays dreadful service. There are many Irish people on the island working many jobs who like to fly home to visit family and vice versa. There is a need for this service.

Definately needs improving, the disability footballers get invited to play in the George Best competition in Belfast!!

Travelling to Belfast is almost impossible for a weekend to see the family, with the steam packet not running for 6 months it makes the situation worse. I don’t understand how Flybe and EasyJet can fly regularly over the IOM on the way too and from Belfast and not make a stop, Flybe used to. We need a decent airline with reasonable prices.

Need a better service and more competition.

There needs to be massive improvements in the provision of flights to and from Belfast, for more reasons than just shopping.

Family and friends are isolated during the winter months

We’ve travelled via Belfast City for a long weekend, horrendous journey. Connecting to Manchester outbound flight was delayed meaning we missed our connection and ended up travelling on separate flights to arrive at a decent time ( only 1 seat left on each flight) Our return journey flight ( Manchester leg) was cancelled meaning another lengthy stay in the airport for the next availability, I pity people having to use this route on a regular basis, sadly we won’t again!

I am from Northern Ireland where all my family still live and the service to visit them currently is terrible. I tried to book a flight for a long weekend in November back in September it was going to cost £228! I have since booked to fly to Dublin for £89 and had my Mum over this weekend via Dublin also for under under £100. The service from Ronaldsway to Belfast is a disgrace and the ferry service during the summer is no better

More reasonable priced flights to Belfast would be great, I can visit friends, go shopping and have a great time time in a vibrant city

prices & schedule horrendous & disgraceful just back from palma for £19

My daughter lives in County Down and I miss her terribly. The more opportunity I have to visit her the better. There are no ferries in the winter and even in the summer months the ferries are inadequate and infrequent. Whilst you're at it can we have the early morning weekday flight to Belfast City reinstated. Arriving after 12 midday is useless, particularly to people on business.

We need more flights to Belfast

The flights are more expensive than anywhere else to and from Belfast, something should be done about this, they obviously don’t want Irish to come here ,especially as there are no boats.

It is cheaper going via dublin or manchester than a direct flight

Please get this route better so I can visit more.

I want to see my kids more. It's a disgrace the price of these flights and lack of them. Please do what is roght I O M government. Your island is beautiful and I love visiting but access is getting very limited.
