How do I decide between Foyle Bridge and Craigavon Bridge when going to Derry Airport?

City of Derry Airport sits east of the River Foyle on the A2 side, so a driver arriving from the west may need a river crossing.

Foyle Bridge is the northern crossing; Craigavon Bridge is closer to central Derry. The better one depends on where you start, roadworks and wind restrictions at the time. Enter the airport terminal itself in satnav and check TrafficWatchNI rather than driving into the city centre first by habit.
