Creator's Key Takeaways

I fly in and out of here dozens of times a year and whil there's a lot that they do good I've never really ranked them that highly

the arrivals process particularly if you're coming internationally and especially you have check bags is definitely the worst part of the airport

I am very happy with the airport I'm excited to see the route Network continuing to expand

I'm definitely never going to be calling it the best airport in the world overall

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use fast track security if you have status, but standard lines are often just as fast
Consider booking exit row seats for more legroom on economy flights
Arrive early to avoid rushing, even if security is efficient

Newcastle International Airport (NCL) claims to be the best in the world. I’m flying British Airways economy from Newcastle to London Heathrow to find out why they claim this, how true it is, and delve a little into the airport’s history. Then, I’ll be reviewing what the BA economy flight experience is like in 2025. Follow my travels on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlesontravels?igsh=MWtzZzF0bzYxZmI2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
