I just go with the theory that, you’ve already walked through a large Duty Free store and passed a large WHSmiths, if you want anything from those shops you would have bought it already. If you want a drink before your flight there is another WHSmith in the Pier. Every time I’ve walked past those units are pretty dead. The airport was voted the worst in the UK for food and beverage offering. I used Subway as an example because they are in Liverpool airport which is similar sized to Newcastle, Frankie and Bennys are in Liverpool and East Midlands, so they maybe part of the SSP brands. Hopefully the extended Burger King is a start to the redevelopment of the food and beverage offering.

Not much in the aviation front, it’s all pretty quiet. The BA flights are staying at the 32 per week schedule similar to the summer for winter 19.
