Flying from Newcastle
Newcastle is the North East's primary airport and a strong Jet2 and easyJet base, with Ryanair adding budget slots and KLM offering an Amsterdam connector for global reach. The terminal sits 5 miles northwest of central Newcastle with the Tyne & Wear Metro running directly to the airport. Fare patterns favour Mediterranean leisure routes; long-haul travellers typically connect via Amsterdam, Paris or Dubai rather than fly direct.
Arriving in Athens
Athens International is Greece's main hub and Aegean Airlines' base, 30 km southeast of the city. Metro Line 3 reaches Syntagma Square in 40 minutes for €9. Athens is the gateway for Greek-island connections — most passengers transfer to a domestic Aegean or Olympic flight. UK fares peak in July and August; April–early June and September–October offer the best price-to-weather ratio.
