Showers and Lounges at Newcastle Airport
Newcastle Airport has one pay-in lounge and no showers. The DoubleTree, two minutes from the terminal, sells day rooms with a bed and a private bathroom. This guide covers the lounge, the showers and the hotel day rooms.
The Aspire Lounge
The Aspire Lounge is NCL’s only lounge, airside after security, open from 4:00 am (in time for the first departures) until the evening. Entry buys a few hours of quieter seating, breakfast or snacks, drinks and Wi-Fi; a Luxe area adds table service and more space. Pre-booking gives the lower rate and a guaranteed slot; walk-up entry depends on capacity, and the lounge fills on summer mornings.
No showers
There are no showers at Newcastle Airport, in the terminal or in the lounge. The lounge’s Luxe and Suite areas have private cabins with wash basins only.
The hotel alternative
A day room at the DoubleTree, two minutes from the terminal, provides a bed and a private bathroom between flights. The Novotel also sells day rooms and has the In Balance pool and sauna. For an overnight stay, every hotel on this site has private rooms with a bathroom.
Lounge or hotel
The lounge suits a wait of about two hours with hand luggage before a daytime flight. For sleep, a shower, or a companion who is not flying, book a hotel room.
