City of Derry Airport lies at Eglinton, on the shores of Lough Foyle, north-east of Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland's second city. It is the UK's westernmost airport, small and with few flights, mainly to London and Great Britain. It is handy for the city's intact 17th-century walls, the Donegal coast across the border and the western end of the Causeway Coastal Route.

- From Derry station, trains hug the coast to Coleraine and continue to Belfast: it is considered one of the most scenic lines in the British Isles.
Practical tips
- Documents: most visitors need a passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for before departure (see documents and ETA).
- Drop-off and pick-up: almost every UK airport charges even for a short stop outside the terminal; pre-booked car parks are cheaper.
- Security: rules on liquids and laptops in hand luggage depend on each airport's scanners; check the official website before you travel.
- Payments: contactless cards are accepted almost everywhere, including on trains and buses.
