My wife and I have used the executive lounges at both Manchester & Leeds Bradford airports, Newcastle does not compare favorably to either of these. On arrival our names were not on the list , lucky for us I had the confirmation e-mail on my mobile phone. The food on offer was of poor quality and the hot food area needed cleaning more regularly, limited selection of Cheese & biscuits and salad desert was limited to one type of cake which was replenished in frequently It would appear that the lounge is now catering for those specifically taking advantage of the free alcohol We are unlikely to use this lounge again Regards Graham Cooke
