  • Newcastle Airport has good links with the world travelling via London, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris.

    A superb extension to the air terminal has just about been completed.

    For details of flights into the city, the airport has a good website: http://www.newcastleairport.com/

    Good city centre access via the metro system.

    Newcastle airport: Newcastle has it's own airport...

    Newcastle has it's own airport so if you are planning to stay in the city alone or just see the surrounding area, this may be a good option. Newcastle is a major station on the rail network, linking Scotland with England. You can get a ferry from the Netherlands too, leave via the Hook Of Holland.
    'The Metro' light railway makes the most sense - it is cheap, quick and convenient. The city centre is compact but hilly so walking is an option for those who can hack it! Parking isn't too easy in the centre so perhaps leave your car at home or out of town. Newcastle covers a large area, contaning many old towns which have been swallowed up by it.

    The nearest railway station is Newcastle Central, which has excellent connections to Scotland and the Midlands. From Newcastle Central in the City Centre the Metro then takes you directly to the airport in 23 minutes. The Metro also links Gateshead, South Tyneside, the coast and North Tyneside to the airport.

    Getting There By Bus
    Numbers 76, 76A, 77, 77A, 78, 78E, and 79 bus run to and from Newcastle City Centre (Eldon Square Bus Concourse) to the Airport entrance approximately every 20 minutes during the day and less frequently during the evening Monday - Saturday and all day Sunday. Call 08706 082 608 for more details. National Express runs coaches to and from Newcastle from the rest of the UK.

    It's great when it takes you a maximum of 20 minutes to get from your house to the airport...

    Newcastle is well connected with European cities through scheduled flights, and also has a number of tour operators with flights to the islands, Cyprus, Turkey and Mexico.

    As a bonus, it's well-connected with the Tyne & Wear Metro system.
