Newcastle Airport

What is the word? Is Greese the word? Or is the bird the word?

Here. You bell

 

[Archibald Von D]

Just flew from Manchester, I’ll never criticise ponteland again,

 

[KarenDent]

Flew into there last Friday, by far the worst experience of the few I've been in this week - massively understaffed

The wait for bags coming off the Dubai flight is scandalous

 

[Big Jeff]

Going to be lively tonight and tomorrow for those landing at Newcastle.

Lets hope it all goes smoothly.

Prague airport one lad in full mag kit with his bonny lass - was stood talking to the security asking what gun he had cos he used a certain one on call of duty - they're special

The scruffy little f***ing spenk.

Flew from Teeside on Wednesday absolutely great little airport, so relaxed.

Was up there 2am today not that windy.

Your flight to Heraklion seems fine at the minute mate.

Couple of Loganair flights cancelled but everything else seems to be going off fine.

I live right under the flight path, they are taking off to the east right over my house, it's not too bad here.

They swap the direction of take off and landing depending on the wind direction.

 

[Big Jeff]

Newcastle airport are reporting wind of 23kts ESE at 09.12am

Aye noticed last night they were landing towards the coast. Was just chilling on road in the dark and nearly shut myself when a jet 2 was about 100m above me head.

Does it do any serious long haul flights? I don’t seem to see that many aircraft large enough to fly to places like the USA and Asia.

I think Thomsons fly to Cancun from there

It's pretty bad on the coast now on the flight path (also live under it). Got much worse the past hour or so. Guessing it's why they're taking off this way to avoid it (turn before here when taking off).

50mph+ gusts at both Boulmer and Loftus so assume it's the same here pretty much.

 

[Big Jeff]

Planes always take off and land into the wind.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

The ques on landing are horrific

Logon or register to see this image

Yep its easier to land and take off into the wind

Beat me to it- I should read ahead first

One thing I have always wanted to know.

Some car parks in the Long Stay, certainly the ones behind the row of trees at the bottom end of Prestwick Road, have barriers on them (some don't) and those that do have some kind of scanner box thingy on it and I think you are meant to put a ticket or some other document for the car park to it and the barrier is meant to open. I tried it when I parked there last time when I flew to Spain but it didn't work.

What am I meant to do?

 

[errant]

What am I meant to do?

I don’t know, but I think the answer likely involves room temperature lion shite…

 

[Alan BStard]

What am I meant to do?

Read the instructions at the entrance and/or pay at a pay machine before you leave and get a ticket to get out.
