Advantages: Only 35 minutes to fly from London Stansted, No Passport Control?!, Very cheap flights

Disadvantages: Miles from Newquay, No Passport Control?!, No drinks or in-flight entertainment, unless you provide your own!!!

Having only just discovered this new, fast and very easy way to get to newquay, Newquay Airport isn't really all it's cracked up to be.

There's not alot to say. It's a buliding with a conveyor belt, toilets, people, and, oh yeah, aeroplanes! When you arrive, you get off the plane, as usual, walk in to be greeted by a conveyor belt smaller than the ones at the checkouts in Tesco. Well almost. Get your bags, leave (no passport control?!?!?!?) and drive to newquay. i should mention that it's miles away from Newquay! I should know! But don't be put off now, a fairly short 20 minute drive gets you to sun, sea and sand!

I haven't actually flown out of newquay airport to anywhere, for some reason, the slow 6 hour journey on a train to paddington has struck more of a chord with me. Although Ryanair wax lyrical about cheap flights to newquay, some are only 3p!, remember the taxes - it'll soon be nearing £40 or something stupid.

Being here alot means that i cannot go on about the wonders of newquay - It's just a normal place to me - ok, with the advantage of being near the beach each day. it's the same as someone not wanting to say how absolutely brilliant a newsagents in East Grinstead is! It just wouldn't work.

But please don't let a grumpy young resident like me put you off. Try a flight to newquay and you'll wonder why the M4 ever appealed to you. Please, just try it. You will most definately not be dissappointed

Ryanair may be cheap but Air Southwest from Gatwick is much more expensive for any flights that are of actual use to anyone. I usually take the train or drive if I absolutely have to.

The only flights to and from Newquay airport are to and from London Stansted at the moment. Prices change daily, for the most up-to-date, check out Ryanair's website. There is nothing at the airport, no shops that i know of, nothing.

Drew, if this is the place I'm sure newquayboy is talking about then there really isn't much to say about the airport. What would be nice to know as others have mentioned is where you can fly to and from and perhaps an example or 2 of prices.
