Flying From Newcastle Airport made easy

Newcastle airport metro

How do I get to Newcastle International Airport?

Newcastle International Airport is just a ten minute drive from Newcastle city centre, making it really easy to reach by public transport. The airport has its own stop on the Tyne & Wear Metro system and the journey time via metro from the city centre is just over 30 minutes. The metro link makes it super easy to connect from local and national rail links, just join the metro at Newcastle’s Central Station and get on the green line bound for the Airport taking only 30-40 minutes.

If you’re looking to get from Newcastle city centre by bus, you can take the X78 to Darras Hall from Eldon Square bus station, the journey time is around 20 minutes with a short walk from the bus stop to the Airport building.

What parking does Newcastle Airport have?

The airport has 5 different car park options in total, two premium, two short stay and one long stay. The two premium options offer the closest parking to the terminal for check in with only a 1 minute walk and there is the option to park yourself or use the meet and greet service and simply drop your keys off and let the staff take care of the rest. 

The short stay car parks are both still within easy reach of the terminal building with a 1-2 minute or a 2-4 minute walk.

The long stay car park is a 10 minute drive from the Aiport terminal and is served by a free coach shuttle service to and from the terminal.

As always, the place to find the best price for your holiday parking is by using our looking4parking link and our exclusive discount code here.

What lounges are available at Newcastle Airport?

Newcastle International is served by an Aspire lounge and an adults only Aspire Suite. Anyone can pay to access the lounge and suite, regardless of which airline and class you are flying. 

The lounge offers free WiFi, complimentary drinks and snacks, including wine, beer and spirits. There’s also a selection of magazines and newspapers to help pass the time until you are ready for boarding. 

The Aspire Suite is the ideal space for some pre flight relaxation if you happen to be travelling without children. The Suite offers an unrivalled view of the airfield and you can expect welcome drinks and at seat service for the range of premium food and drink options on offer. 

To find the Aspire Lounge, you’ll need to walk through World Duty free towards departures, take the escalator down and the Lounge is on the right hand side.

What shops are available at Newcastle Aiport?

Are you thinking if you’ve seen one airport duty free you’ve seen them all, I’d probably be inclined to agree with you and Newcastle is no different. You’ll find World Duty Free, JD Sports, WHSmith, Accessorize and InMotion.

Top travelling tip to save packing space is to use Boots click and collect and select the airport store to collect from, perfect for picking up your suncream, shampoo or any last minute toiletries. For an extra savvy holiday spend, use TopCashback for your Boots order for 8% cashback. Not used TopCashback before? You can join using our referral link here.

What do you think of the new hair?! Should I stick to being a scraggy mess? 🙃😅

If my mum could see this she’d laugh, and be glad I’ve sorted my hair out ❤️
