Newcastle is usually an excellent airport, but on this occasion there was chaos in security because one of the belts was diverting everyone’s bags for searching and there were no staff around to help the one poor women trying to investigate everyone’s bags. It was weird because there were numerous people looking at the belt next to ours which was cordoned off and a man ostentatiously wandering around saying he was looking for someone to help the woman, rather than helping him herself. Then when we finally got through security there were loads of duty free staff standing around doing nothing. Allocating a few more trained security staff and a few less standing around people would have made a big difference that morning!
