British Airways has frequent flights to Newcastle, located in north-east England. Flights arrive at Newcastle International Airport, just six miles north of Newcastle city centre. Straight after your flight get a taxi or hop on a Metro train to travel into central Newcastle. Within an hour you can be taking in Newcastle's iconic Tyne Bridge or shopping in the city's elegant Grainger Town district. Stop for lunch at one of Newcastle's Quayside restaurants.
After your flight to Newcastle, the quickest way to reach Newcastle city centre is by Metro train, which gets you into central Newcastle in little over 20 minutes. Or opt for a bus, which is slower but gives you better views on the way into Newcastle after your flight. Treat yourself to an airport taxi for a prompt door-to-door service. On leaving Newcastle for flights home, you can take the Metro from several central Newcastle stations.
After your flight arrives in Newcastle, head to the river and the Tyne Bridge, which has become an enduring symbol of the city of Newcastle. Wander through the wide pedestrianised shopping streets of Newcastle's Grainger Town, popular for its designer boutiques. Take in Newcastle's 12th-century Castle Keep and St Nicholas' Cathedral, England's most northerly cathedral. Enjoy modern art at Newcastle's BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and learn about Tyneside life at Newcastle's Discovery Centre. For your homeward flight from Newcastle, make room in your bags for crafts from Blackfriars and Northumberland cheeses from Newcastle's Grainger Market.
