About NCL

Newcastle International Airport (NCL) is at Woolsington, about six miles north-west of the city centre, and is the main airport for the North East of England. It is one of the few UK airports on a metro line: Tyne and Wear Metro trains run from the terminal straight into Newcastle and on to the coast. Departures use a single terminal; after security the route leads through Duty Free into the main departure area, and the gates are reached from a lower concourse one level down. Jet2, easyJet, TUI and Ryanair operate much of the short-haul schedule, while Emirates flies daily to Dubai. Lounge hours here follow the season, so a winter Saturday evening flight may find the lounges already closed.

How we compile this guide

Sourced, never sponsored.

This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every Newcastle Airport lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.
