Travel

A list of airlines including destinations that operate at Newcastle Airport can be found on Wikipedia. When travelling with non-budget airlines it may be cheaper to book a return or multiple destination flight. Other close airports that are rather well connected by train are Leeds (1h), Edinburgh (1.5h) and Manchester (2.5h). The train from London takes about 3-4 hours. Note that prices for train tickets rise quickly and may be booked in advance online.
