Hi Ash666, it was a pair of gloves that fell out of my pocket at some stage during my trip through the airport, rather than checked luggage. It was my own stupid fault, I should have been more careful, but if I dropped my gloves in Eldon Square I wouldn't need to pay £7 to get them back. Not sure why an airport should be different.
Hi Canb97, They do still have a lost-property office, but it's only open 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, when most people are at work. And an airport the size of Newcastle should definitely have a reception/information desk imho. I seem to remember SOU has one? Not sure, I could be wrong there. And if they did have an info desk they could combine the two. Airports being airports, they'd probably still charge an extortionate amount though
