Newcastle International Airport (NCL)

This fairly small airport has a suprising number of positives to its name. Firstly it's got a good number of European bound flights from companies such as easyjet, flybe and british airways. Secondly it's a child friendly aiport for families as there a games zone and great views of the planes taking off. Alternatively couples or adults might enjoy the three airport lounges for a bit of peace and quiet or the suprising number of shops on offer. The only down side to these are that despite being duty free there are still very expensive! There are some good little places to eat or grab a cup of coffee before flying too. Thirdly it's location is good. Whilst not in the ...  Read the complete review

I attend university in nearby Durham, but live in Ireland. Needless to say I fly semi regularly from this airport and thought I would now let potential future passengers know about its pros and cons. First and foremost, I will deal with location. Newcastle airport is situated, like most airports, a good distance outside of the city. There is however a fantastic metro system which for £2.90 will take you into Newcastle and give you free reign of the city's metro system for a while. The trains are very regular to accommodate the large number of people coming through the airport. Besides this there are bus links with the city, rent-a-car facilities and enough ...  Read the complete review

This is not a fantastic airport but I am not complaining because it is great to have an airport as substantial as this in a city as small as Newcastle. There are a few low budget airlines that fly from Newcastle including EasyJet which runs a lot of routes from here which is very useful. To get to London at the moment it is cheaper to fly from here than to get the train. The facilities at the airport are alright, there is a Starbucks, Greggs and WHSmiths before you go through security and the same afterwards with a few clothes shops and a tiny curry's. Though there aren't lots of things you don't need too many because ideally you don't need to spend too ...  Read the complete review
