Newcastle Airport

What's up with this crazy loud music? It'd be nice at 40 decibels lower where you can then hear the Airport PA announcements...

Very handy - not to big and very close to Port Stephens and Newcastle

A BIG WARNING to ANYONE PARKING in "Short Stay" parking. I was flying to the Gold Coast for 24 hours and figured that if i was a little over the 24 hours due to flights then I would be charged per hour (see the parking sign attached). Then there would be the flat rate $31= 24 hours plus 1 or 2 hours rate if i was running late. Well my time for parking totalled 24 hour & 45 minutes. So i assumed i would be paying $36 But no i was charged $62.93 (see attached) and when i rang to clarify this i was told that the rate is actually $31 = 24 hours and that rates are only charged as 24 hour lots not hourly rates past a 24 hour period. This i feel is not what the sign enplanes property SO BE CAREFUL. Had i not gotten to the Air Port as early as i did this would also not have occurred. Try ring the Air Port though and you will get no help !!!!

An elderly man had a stroke and if it wasn't for the two off duty nurses, he would have had serious problems.
The security restricted the ability of certain personnel to preserve life.
There was a serious lack of communication to the extent that it took 15 mins for a medical kit to be brought forward.
You are a disgrace and a fake airport.

Small provincial airport but modern and efficient
Clean, efficient and functional... but you do have to exit planes from stairs and walk across tarmac.. fine for me but I wonder how peopel with limited mobility would cope .. especially in the rain!

The airport is OK but be cautious with transport bookings thru the airport. We booked more than a week out for an early morning car for our flight. The day before we got a call asking if we could be picked up half an hour earlier. Bells should have rung. We got a people mover and a half hour circuit of Newcastle to pick up someone else at our original booking time. Not what we ordered!

This airport has improved significantly and should be the standard for regional airports around Australia. It looks modern and the various food outlets give great variety. There is no issue with parking and it is a breeze to park and get to your gate. The staff are friendly and efficient, perfect for when you are in a hurry.

Set out well,easy drop off and pick up area, be prepared to walk if you need to park in this area.

Stranded. The airport itself is fine for a regional airport. It's location and connectivity to the city of Newcastle is poor. The most reliable option is a $50 transfer, where you share with a few other travellers. Next would be taxis, if there's any at the rank, and the price would be similar or more $50+. You've got very little chance of snagging an Uber car out there, and the price might be ~$40. For solo travellers or those on a budget, a reasonable option is the bus. However if you're flight is delayed and you miss your planned bus connection, you could wait a long time for the next one, even early on a weekday afternoon, the wait could be over an hour. OVER AN HOUR wait for the next bus to the LARGEST REGIONAL CITY IN AUSTRALIA. On a weekday afternoon. City planners and airport administration should review this with transport providers ASAP.

Shut the front gate. Right now Virgin Australia is having a 29-hour flight frenzy with airfares from Newcastle to New Zealand for $239 one-way and from Newcastle to Brisbane for $75 one-way. Travel dates apply. Book here: https://specials.virginaustralia.com/sale /flight-frenzy

We recently built a new car park, adding an additional 345 spaces. The new car park is being utilised by Airport staff as it’s furthest away from the terminal, ensuring that the more convenient spaces are kept for customers. This is just another way to show how committed we are to customer service and being the Airport the region deserves. #gosmarter #NTLairport

We have an old Huey helicopter and Squirrel Helicopter working overtime this afternoon to assist with the bush fire burning in the Lemon Tree Passage Rd, Salt Ash area.
