There are Metro, train and bus options should you need them, as well as a hop on/hop off sightseeing bus that visits all the main city attractions.

What are the must-sees in Newcastle?

At the heart of the city the Gateshead Quays showcase the famous Tyneside Bridge. This wonderfully regenerated area is now a highly successful cultural quarter complete with art exhibitions and stunning architecture.

While Newcastle is known for its shopping and nightlife, travel beyond the city to find an equally unrivalled experience of history. Hadrian's Wall, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is testament to the events that have formed both England and Scotland’s identity.

Another iconic structure, rather more modern, can be seen at the Angel of the North. Commissioned in 1998, the Angel has become a symbol of Newcastle’s regeneration.

How to survive the flight to Newcastle-upon-Tyne?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Newcastle-upon-Tyne?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Newcastle-upon-Tyne, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
