I have to say I am enjoying travelling through Newcastle a lot more than I used to.

I've found security far more efficient - it works better when the queue is manned but I've not waited more than 5 minutes on several trips this summer and the car park ops are spot on. Even Border Force have been pretty efficient.

My only tiny criticisms:
  • There stil isn't quite enough seating around the terminal when all the charter bucket and spade flights head out.
  • The old WH Smith/Aspire entrance by the Gates - that whole area looks very dark shabby and would be nice as a quieter waiting area.
  • The same goes for gate corridors etc - just needs a bit of TLC I feel.
  • Shame the old arcade area went - the airport has had one for as long as I can remember - used to enjoy taking the grandkids in but looks no more! Would be nice for kids to have more to do (if I can peel away their tablets -which might be the problem)
  • I've had to queue for the toilets each time - another set may be handy! Space I guess may be an issue?
