Kendal To and From Newcastle Airport

Travelling Kendal To and From Newcastle Airport covers a distance of around 99 miles (159 kilometres), with an estimated journey time of 2 to 2.25 hours in normal traffic. 

The most direct and scenic route starts from Kendal and takes you east via the A684 or A685, then along the A66 toward Scotch Corner. From there, continue north on the A1(M) before joining the A696, which leads straight to Newcastle Airport.

Alternatively, you can head north via the M6 to Carlisle, then travel east on the A69, connect briefly to the A1(M) south, and exit onto the A696. This route avoids smaller rural roads and may be more comfortable for those preferring major motorways. 

During peak travel hours (7–9 AM and 4–6:30 PM), especially near Penrith, Durham, and Newcastle’s outskirts, plan for 20–30 minutes of additional travel time.

The route serves several key towns including Barnard Castle, Bishop Auckland, Durham, Gateshead, and Ponteland. We offer a door-to-door chauffeur service for homes, hotels, rural properties, and business venues in and around Kendal. Newcastle Airport features a single terminal that handles all flights, with curbside pickup, meet-and-greet, and drop-off options. 

Whether you need a return taxi to Newcastle Airport or transport from Newcastle to Kendal, our service ensures a smooth, timely, and premium journey.
