We have people coming from all kinds of places so we've pulled together some links to help you all find your way.

By Air

According to their website: "Newcastle International Airport is the largest airport in North East England, flying to more than 85 destinations worldwide."
It's 30 minutes from Beamish (see the road directions here) and here are some of the best deals to fly there.

Once you arrive you will probably want a taxi or hire car. If you let us know what time you are arriving, we can probably put you in touch with other people arriving at the same time so you can share a car.

Hong Kong & Asia

- Emirates airlines flies into Newcastle via Dubai from Hong Kong, Singapore, China.

- British Airways flies to Newcastle via London from Hong Kong and Shanghai

- Cathay also flies to London Heathrow

- KLM flies to Newcastle via Amsterdam (but we've not had great trips with them before)

Canada

- AirTransat flies from Toronto and Montreal to London Gatwick.

- Zoom Airlines flies from Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal to London Gatwick

These are both the 'budget' options but you then need to transfer in Gatwick with another airline. You may also want to check British Airways who fly to Newcastle via London
