How to survive the flight to Newcastle?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Newcastle before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. 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 products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

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

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.

Best Time to Travel to Newcastle

Peak Season:

Although there's never really a bad time to visit Newcastle, some times of year are more appealing than others. With the exception of the weeks around January 1, the peak season in Newcastle spans from mid-spring through mid-autumn. It's during this time of year, especially in winter months from June through September, when the weather is at its best, and outdoor activities are easier to appreciate. Despite the substantial amount of sunlight this area receives, this is also when it happens to rain the most, so you may wish to keep an umbrella handy if you're travelling to Newcastle during this season.

Shoulder Season:

The Newcastle area experiences three brief shoulder seasons each year, when fewer visitors travel to the area. These month-long periods run from mid-April to mid-May, mid-August to September, and mid-December to mid-January. Rooms rates are often more affordable during these times, so keep your eyes peeled for great deals during these seasons.

Off Season:

From mid-May to mid-August is regarded as the low season in Newcastle, which makes it a great time to score deals on tickets to Newcastle. During this time, the weather in the region tends to be noticeably cooler than any other time of year, with temperatures ranging from around 9 to 17 degrees Celsius.
