As with all the northern UK airports we’ve looked at the only downside with flying from Newcastle is that you can’t fly directly in to Valencia (the closest airport to Benicassim).  If you were feeling bonkers then you could fly to Valencia from Newcastle with 2 changes and at a cost of around 230quid (at time of writing).  Alternatively you could fly into Alicante (only a few hours by car/train from Benicassim) for less than 100quid.  If you’re doing this with a group of mates then the money (and time) you save is well worth it and can even leave you enough left over to hire... [Read the full story]
