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
Ok, I will retract my statement.
I left a coat on the Eurostar a couple of years ago and that cost a fortune to get back.
I remember a friend losing his wallet on the Emirates flight and the staff in Dubai took a while to look for it but they did and didn't charge a penny.
