G'day Newcastleians, For a Birthday present I got given two tickets to Newcastle by aeroplane, I will be arriving at 21st June at 7:10 (yeah it is a Tuesday, sorry about this). Looked on a few websites and they have said this about transport:
Distance from CBD: CBD is 20 km from airport
Travel Time: Travel time to CBD is 20 mins by car (approx.)
Car rentals: For discounted car rental rates from Newcastle, book now
Taxi Taxi fare: $33 (approx.)
Bus Foggs Airport Shuttle fare: $35 adults, $6 for every other family member
Parking: Parking at airport: $15
I will not be hireing a car as I am a cheap bastard. Was wondering if anyone would be able to pick me and the girl up from the airport and take us somewhere (preferably not in the boot of your car to a wooded area that easily conceals dead bodies). We will pay for your efforts (basically any price cheaper then a taxi or the shuttle). Also any ideas on what to do or where to go in Newcastle are also appreciated. Thanks guys.
p.s. We have to be at the airport at 7:00am on Thursday to fly home, if anyone can help then it would great too. Once again thanks
