New look to the website for Belfast International:-

Glad it's now a single click to move between Arrivals and Departures.

Is it just me or is it still useless? It never gives out any information on expected time of the arrival. It only ever says 'EXPECTED AT'.

Did it not give the expected at before?

EDIT: It gave an ETA

I think the site is a wee bit better but i agree that they should give better info than just expected at.

The new site looks better than before, and is now very similar to the London Luton page (http://www.london-luton.co.uk/en/) and the Stockholm Skavsta page. (http://www.skavsta.se/en/) 

Did anyone else notice many of the links throughout the site take you to random pages.  The "To and from the airport" (http://www.belfastairport.com/en/airport/) section is a good example, if you scroll down to the pictures and click the by road, the by bus or the by taxi buttons you are to taken to a completely unrelated page.

Another thing I noticed is that in the "About us" section under FAQ's the "Flight arrival/departure information?" (http://www.belfastairport.com/en/faq/5/4/flight-arrival-departure-information.html) question links you to the Luton arrivals page, which looks almost identical to the BFS page and could easily cause confusion.
Also within the FAQ's, the "Are there any flight connecting facilities?" (http://www.belfastairport.com/en/faq/3/1/are-there-any-flight-connecting-facilities.html) question says, "There are no connecting facilities at London Luton Airport."

I'm sure that these problems will be sorted soon, however these are basic and obvious errors that should not be found on a site that has gone through even a minimal amount of testing.

I see they have now included an 'Estimated' column.
