Transfer between flights

Newcastle is not primarily a transfer point and therefore the airport does not have the option of a direct transfer without leaving the transit zone at all.

You always have to go through passport control, walk out, cross between the arrival and departure halls and check in again.

If you plan to transfer on your own in Newcastle, allow approximately 60 minutes net transfer time from arrival to departure gate.
