Come fry with me! The UK's cheapest and priciest airports for a full English breakfast revealed
The UK's cheapest and priciest airports for a full English breakfast have been revealed - and Newcastle International has landed sunny side up.
Jet-setters here can tuck into a pre-flight fry-up for an egg-cellent £10.96, compared to the national average of £13.50.
Peckish passengers set to take off from London City Airport, meanwhile, will pay the most - the average price of an English brekky here is £18.50.
This is according to research by Jack's Flight Club, which ranked the average price of a hot breakfast at the UK's 15 most popular airports, using data from Statista.
The ranking was drawn up based on analysis of menu prices from 65 restaurants across these airports. It was also noted that the average airport fry-up includes seven components with the majority of restaurants excluding toast from the dish.

Rounding off the top five is Glasgow (third, £12.16); East Midlands International (fourth, £12.40) and Edinburgh (fifth, £12.40).
Birmingham ranks sixth (£12.88), followed by Belfast International (seventh, £12.98) and Liverpool John Lennon (eighth, £13.15).
THE MOST EXPENSIVE FRY-UPS
The five most expensive airport fry-ups are all dished up at London's most major airports, according to the ranking.
Behind London City is Heathrow in second position (£14.98) followed by London Stansted (third, £14.08); London Luton (fourth, £13.83) and London Gatwick (fifth, £13.59).
Passengers taking off from Bristol will get a slightly better deal for their eggs and bacon at Bristol (sixth, £13.49) and Leeds Bradford (seventh, £13.24).
The most affordable airport breakfast overall was found at Newcastle International's The Beer House, costing a mere £8.95 - almost £5 less than the national average.
The most expensive is served up at London City's Juniper & Co, according to the study, with a price tag of £18.50.

The research also suggests that passengers can sometimes get a cheaper deal by ordering at a restaurant before passing through airport security.
This is the case at 20 per cent of airports, which saw prices increase among restaurants inside the terminal, the findings show.
Glasgow International Airport saw the biggest price hike after the metal detectors. Here, restaurants charge 24 per cent more on average, according to the study. This was followed by Edinburgh at 15 per cent, and Gatwick at 11 per cent.

Separate to the cost ranking, the study also ranked the average ratings for each restaurant breakfast based on Google reviews for each establishment.
Newcastle International and London City Airport were found to be the best rated, each scoring 4.3 out of 5. Leeds Bradford and London Stansted, however, were unveiled as the worst, both scoring 3.4.
Drew Stewart, director of marketing at Jack's Flight Club, said: 'For many Brits, kicking off a holiday without a cooked breakfast is unthinkable, but finding one that doesn't break the bank is key before jetting off on an expensive trip.
'It turns out those in the North East hit the jackpot, boasting not only the most wallet-friendly full English but also the top-rated airport for dining experiences.
'Our team has eagerly begun testing the restaurants we analysed, and we're excited for our index to assist any travellers looking to get the best bangers for their buck.'
