The lounge was a better place to sit, rather than other areas of Newcastle airport and with a small child it was not as busy. I feel that the Team Members could offer a more friendly and approachable service. The food was minimal and poorly displayed and not particularly appetising and it’s difficult to fit anything on the very small plates. The drinks were ok and nice to drink, when there was a TM to serve you. The soft drinks looked old and at times were flat with no fizz. Seating was better than what you usually get in some airports, but the seats were damaged slightly. I am a frequent flyer and use VIP lounges often, but I am undecided whether I would use the Aspire lounge again, as it offers very similar standards to other parts of Newcastle Airport.
