Domestic travel

To help you navigate your way to Newcastle Airport, view our Maps or visit Parking & transport for more information.

• For domestic flights we recommend arriving at the airport one hour before your flight’s departure to allow time for parking, checking in luggage and passing through domestic security screening. 
• If you only have carry-on luggage you can check-in 40-minutes before your flight departs dependant on airline. 

Check you have all your relevant travel documents before you leave home, including e-tickets, visas and current photo identification.

All passengers, including children and infants travelling with an adult, will need to provide valid identification. The following forms of current (not expired) photo identification can be used:

• Driver’s licence
• Company issued identification
• Student identification cards; or
• Passport

• The check-in area is located in Departures (left side of the terminal). Make sure you have your ticket or booking reference number handy, then proceed to your airline counter. 
• Or save time and check-in online up to 48 hours before you depart. Contact your airline directly to find out if they offer online check-in.
• Luggage requirements vary with each airline. We recommend checking luggage requirements with your airline before you leave home. 
• Luggage trolleys are available for hire at the entrance to Departures and in most airport car parks.

• Once you've checked-in you'll proceed to the domestic security screening point. Your carry on luggage will be x-ray screened and you’ll pass through a body scanner.
• Empty your pockets and place any loose items such as coins, mobile phones and keys in your carry-on bag before arriving at the front of the screening line.
• Then remove any bulky clothing such as jackets or jumpers, and when directed place your jacket or jumper and carry-on bag in the tray provided.

• Do ensure your aerosol has a lockable lid.
• You can leave your powders, liquids and gels in your carry-on bag at this time.
• You may be asked to remove your shoes.
