The two most popular ways to park at NCL. Meet & Greet saves you time; Park & Ride saves you money. Here is how they compare on today's live prices.
The North-East's largest airport.
Newcastle is the North-East's main airport, handling around 5.5 million passengers a year from a single terminal in Woolsington. It punches above its weight for long-haul, with daily Emirates service to Dubai (operating since 2007) opening up Asia and Australia connections.
Carriers include British Airways, easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair, KLM, Emirates, TUI and Loganair. The route map is mainly short-haul European leisure plus business links to Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt, with the Dubai route as the long-haul spine.
Newcastle's compact site, direct Tyne and Wear Metro link and reasonable parking supply make it one of the easier UK regional airports to navigate.
All the practical access info, by car, train, coach and otherwise.
A696 from the A1, clearly signposted from the A1(M) and A19. From Newcastle city centre, allow 20 minutes; from Sunderland, 30 minutes; from Durham, 35 minutes.
There's no main-line rail station at the airport. The Tyne and Wear Metro runs directly to the terminal, see below.
Local bus services connect the airport with Newcastle, Gateshead and the wider Tyneside conurbation.
The Tyne and Wear Metro's Green Line serves the airport directly from Newcastle city centre, journey time around 25 minutes, every 12 minutes during the day. This is one of the very few UK airports with a direct light-rail link to the city.
Official car parks are Short Stay (multi-storey attached to terminal), Mid Stay (a short walk) and Long Stay (a 5-minute shuttle). All are operated by the airport.
Off-airport operators cluster along the A696 and around Woolsington and Ponteland. Several offer 24/7 shuttle services with 8-12 minute frequencies. Independent rates typically undercut the airport's own long-stay by 25-40%.
The questions our 24/7 team gets asked most about flying from Newcastle.
8 days costs from £118.97 (about £14.87 a day) at Newcastle right now, based on live prices from 6 car parks we compare. The cheapest option today is Long Stay (on-airport parking). Prices move with demand and rise sharply in the last fortnight before travel, so booking early is what actually saves money here.
Today the cheapest is Long Stay at £118.97 for 8 days, about £14.87 a day. The cheapest on-airport option is Long Stay at £118.97, against £163.97 for Premium Meet and Greet off-airport. There is no single car park that is always cheapest at Newcastle, because operators reprice constantly, so the honest answer is to compare the live table above for your own dates rather than trusting a fixed list.
Yes, the Tyne and Wear Metro's Green Line terminates at the airport. Journey time around 25 minutes from Newcastle Central Station.
Yes, Emirates flies daily to Dubai (with onward connections to Asia, Australia and Africa). Other long-haul is mainly seasonal.
Mid-priced compared to the UK average. Off-airport park-and-ride is consistently cheapest for stays of 3+ days.

Yes, forecourt drop-off is free for short stops, with longer waits in the Short Stay car park.
Yes, single fares are a few pounds and the journey from central Newcastle is around 25 minutes.
