Holidays from Newcastle

The North East's launchpad to the sun. Newcastle Airport flies direct to over 80 beach and city break destinations across Spain, Greece, Turkey, the Canary Islands, the Balearics, Portugal, Cyprus, Croatia, Italy, Malta, Bulgaria, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and long-haul routes to Cancun and Dubai. With Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair, and TUI all operating bases or major programmes from Newcastle, you've got serious choice on airlines, dates, and prices, plus a Metro station inside the terminal that gets you from the city centre to check-in in 25 minutes.

Getting to Newcastle Airport

Newcastle Airport sits about 6 miles north of the city centre, just off the A696 with easy access from the A1. The Tyne and Wear Metro runs directly into the terminal with trains leaving every 12 to 15 minutes, and the journey from Monument or Central Station takes around 25 minutes. No changes, no buses, no fuss. If you're driving, there are short-stay and long-stay car parks on site, and you can pre-book your airport parking to lock in the best price. The airport handles over 5.5 million passengers a year and has been expanding fast: easyJet opened a new three-aircraft base here in spring 2026, and Jet2 now operates nine aircraft from Newcastle during peak summer, their biggest programme ever from the North East.

Airport facilities

Newcastle Airport is compact enough that you won't spend half your holiday walking to the gate, but big enough that you'll find proper food, decent shopping, and somewhere comfortable to sit before you fly. The airside restaurants and cafes cover everything from a quick Greggs to a sit-down meal, and the duty-free shopping is worth a browse if you need sun cream, new sunnies, or a last-minute book for the pool. The Aspire Lounge is there if you fancy a quieter start to the holiday (complimentary drinks and snacks, comfy seats, no fighting over plug sockets), and you can pre-book lounge access or fast track security through us. Travelling with kids? There are play areas in the terminal, and the whole layout is pushchair-friendly with lifts to all levels.
