Default Teeside Airport

Flying in there tomorrow for a meeting but have a few hours to kill first. As my colleagues tell me it's supposed to be tiny, does anyone know if there's cafes there where I can get some brekkie??

While I can't suggest any places to get a a decent brekkie I can confirm that it's small...... a few hours is going to seem like a year there

Don't know about the Airport it's self but Macy D's is just a short Taxi drive away. So is Morrisons cafe.

PS. I think you'll find it's called "Durham Tees Valley Airport now"

Name change was supposed to drum up business

I noticed that, although my e-ticket still says Teeside (MME).

The only reason I was looking for brekkie is because I'm hiring a car there and the car place doesn't open till 8.30 so I've got to hang around in the airport.

Last time I was there my ticket said gate 1, when i got there it was a double glazed patio door and 'gate 2' was right next to it.

Both just led out to the tarmac for a passenger free-for-all dash

You can get food through the main door and turn right.

it was alright when I used to go there.

You could always take a Scooby Snack of the right number with you though!

Of course there's a café. They do a fairly reasonable breakfast and you get to see the finest little airport in the whole damned country

There's nowhere I'd rather fly from

Also, on your way in to land, wave out of the left hand side of the plane. I'll wave back
