Check-in and bags at Newcastle Airport

How early should you get to Newcastle Airport?

“Passengers are advised to check in at the airport at least three hours before a charter flight and two hours before a scheduled flight.”

Our planner: we aim to have you inside the terminal before a short-haul flight, 2 hours; before long-haul, 2½ hours (3 hours with a checked bag). Where Newcastle Airport's own website asks for longer than we usually allow, these use its figure. On a charter flight Newcastle Airport asks for 3 hours. Our flight data can’t tell us whether a flight is a charter, so the planner uses its 2 hours for scheduled flights. A planning figure, not a live queue; your airline’s own deadlines come first.
