Terminal Information – Departing

Birmingham Airport has one terminal. Despite its diminutive size, there's plenty on offer to keep you entertained before you fly to Newcastle. Treat yourself to a last minute manicure at Cloud Nails, or channel your inner pilot at the Softek Sim flight simulator. There are plenty of shops to browse at the airport, including high street favourites Accessorize and JD Sports, as well as airport favourites like World Duty Free and Dixons Travel.

There are two executive lounges, perfect if you have a bit of work to finish or just want to relax before your flight. The Aspire Lounge and No.1 Traveller Lounge both offer complimentary snacks and Wi-Fi. Pre-booking a space in the lounge is cheaper than turning up on the day, when prices start £21.99*.

Practical Information

You don't need a passport for domestic flights within the UK. You will need to show some form of official photographic ID, however: your photo-card driving license is the best option. We recommend arriving no later than 90 minutes before your flight is due to depart, giving yourself plenty of time to get through security.

What to expect in Newcastle

The nightlife in Newcastle is famous throughout the UK. The riverfront is the destination of choice if you're looking for a few laid-back drinks, with some trendy bars both on the river and tucked away in side streets. For bigger pubs and clubs, head to "the Diamond Strip" near Central Station and Collingwood Street. The Gate has a number of bars and clubs under one roof, and also boasts a casino, so it's a great choice if the weather's not on your side. Expect lots of stag and hen do's on Friday and Saturday night.
