Will we need a chauffeur driven DeLorean to get to the airport?

Yes - thomas cook are doing what appears to be a one off return flight direct from Belfast to Vegas and as far as I'm aware ( and I have done a fair bit of searching ) no other airlines fly this route direct.
The price might appear high to those on main land Britain but for Northern Ireland that's a good price and the fact it a premium economy & at Easter is a bonus.
It shaves 10 hours each way off travel time, not to mention fuel for 2 hour trip to Dublin and dreaded airport waiting for transfers

Ethiopian airlines are considerably cheaper from Dublin, but to LA, but its only 3 hours down the road to Vegas.
£2279.94 for 2 adults 1 child BFS to LAS with Thomas Cook for 1 week
£994 for 2 adults 1 child DUB to LAX with Ethiopian for 16 days
No brainer there I think!

Customs pre clearance in Dublin is worth the travel time alone. Flying in from Belfast and you could easily queue for customs for a few hours. I have done. I'd rather travel to Dublin in the comfort of my car for two hours than queue for the same amount of time in the States just to get allowed entry.
