Newcastle Airport has plenty of things to do while awaiting your flight including arcades, restaurants, child care services, and even a prayer room. Some of the cafés and shops include Starbucks, Echo Bar, and Greggs. Starbucks is open 24 hours a day and has deliciously fresh coffee. Echo Bar has a wide variety of draught, spirits, and wine. If you are hungry you will probably want to stop by Greggs and enjoy some fresh sandwiches, cakes, or pasties.
