Newcastle International Airport has a direct rail link to Newcastle and Sunderland on the Tyne-Wear Metro.
The Airport is in the Metro's Zone C, so passengers need an all-zone ticket to travel between the terminal and Newcastle and Sunderland's city centres. The current price for an all-zone single ticket bought at the machine is £3.90, or £5.70 for an all-day ticket.
Newcastle Airport's Metro Station is connected to the terminal. It takes just a couple of minutes to walk from the station to the check-in desks and departure area.
