Newcastle Airport lies at Woolsington, north-west of the city, and is the main airport of north-east England. It is the gateway to Newcastle, Durham, the Northumberland coast with Alnmouth, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne, and Hadrian's Wall. It has a single compact terminal that is easy to find your way around.

Practical tips
- Documents: most visitors need a passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for before departure (see documents and ETA).
- Drop-off and pick-up: almost every UK airport charges even for a short stop outside the terminal; pre-booked car parks are cheaper.
- Security: rules on liquids and laptops in hand luggage depend on each airport's scanners; check the official website before you travel.
- Payments: contactless cards are accepted almost everywhere, including on trains and buses.
