Ash666, my spy at the airport tells me there were no baggage issues at the airport Saturday evening. They have asked that I ask you for the flight number of your flight so they can investigate further. They take poor performance very seriously and you do appear to be rather unlucky when using Newcastle as far as I can see. Let us know and they will lauch a full investigation.

It was TOM 1605 from Salzburg.
It landed a little bit early but no other pax in the luggage hall until an Innsbruck plane came in after us. We landed about 19.55 and got away from the luggage hall (4 of us) at 20.47 (I checked!). |
I suppose its different for me in London where it normally takes about 30 mins to get from the aircraft to the baggage hall, especially when you get the end gate of the pier, Gatwick or Heathrow.
Out of curiosity Ash, about what time did you arrive in the baggage hall? |
Around 8pm.
I wasn't expecting my bags to be there already. |
ps
It wasn't easy getting a taxi, either. Apparently they have an unwritten rule about an unmarked line which says that if you don't go further than the White Swan at Dinnington when you get back to the airport you go to the front of the queue so no-one wants to take you just a bit further on and go to the back of the queue. |
I had a similar experience to ash66 off the TOM ex TRN last Sunday (26th). Also off the Flybe from SOU on Thurs evening last week (though not as long to wait, but still a good 20mins).
I don't monitor it, but subjectively, I'd say more than 70% of my arrivals in NCL with checked baggage see long waiting times. Arrivals after 7pm, virtually 100%. Recently, I've noticed that the bags don't come through on a continuous basis, but in small batches with large gaps in between. |

--------------- Yep, a loooong wait for the first bag then just a few at a time. |
Aspire
Does anyone know when the Aspire Lounge will open?
Seem to be on with it for ages, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere... |
