Newcastle Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Newcastle Airport has the Tyne and Wear Metro right in the terminal: the city centre is 25-30 minutes away, and Jesmond, halfway there, about 20. For an early flight or heavy luggage, Kingston Park, a few minutes' drive from the terminal, remains the most convenient. For those after the Quayside, the Castle and the city's nightlife, everything is a metro ride away if you stay in the centre. Jesmond, with its restaurants and a station on the same line as the airport, is a middle ground for anyone wanting more quiet at night.
