“The airport has greatly increased the space for long term parking, but it's not well managed. When we arrived areas were 'closed' that had lots of spaces (hundreds I'd say) but we were directed to an area that had about 2 spaces left. I got one and a person in front got another, but they took ages to find. Absolutely ridiculous. Why do they feel the need to put 'closed' signs up for areas that are virtually empty while precious time is taken finding one or two scarce spaces in the places that are open. It's not as if there was any attendants around redirecting as there were another six or seven cars behind us fruitlessly searching for spaces. As for the shuttle bus? Worse than a service bus route, and yet it's not a Heathrow-sized airport, so shouldn't be so bad. We stood about 20 minutes. We only waited because we thought it wouldn't be long. I could have walked it in 10! You've no idea if it's actually coming and when it does it's a small bus. Not fit for purpose. On our return, it was chilly and we waited about 10 minutes and gave up and walked. It really isn't rocket science to work out that buses are needed when planes land. It's almost like it takes management by surprise that a plane has landed. As we walked to our car, I spotted two of the three buses parked up in darkness. It really needs sorting out because having one bus on isn't good enough when a plane with 200+ passengers lands.”

“I feel as though all the bars are geared up to people who want to drink the two main bars are an absolute disgrace There are a lot of people who just want to sit and relax before their flight You will find most of these people are sitting wherever they can as the bar areas are not suitable You need to up your game dramatically Even had people standing on tables singing You should have one bar for stags,hens and people who want to get drunk The only bar that is ok is the middle one of the three which is the smallest one”

“Could not gain entry to car park, no instructions at the barrier. Called for assistance and was informed it was a fault. No signage for direction to terminal or distance. No information at the bus stops as to how often the shuttle runs or when I could next expect a bus.”

“Most of the long stay car parks were full or out of order, and we had to go to section A which is the furthest car park away. We waited for the shuttle bus and waited quite some time, 2 came and they were both full so we ended up walking.”

“We changed our parking to short stay two days before we departed at an extra cost of £14.99. When we arrived at the short stay an operative refused us access as all spaces were 'full'. We advised him that we had a space reserved only two days before but he was not prepared to listen. We also advised him that both my wife and I have mobility issues but again he told us we had to park in the long stay spaces. I refused to do this and asked your operative to speak to somebody else but he refused. I then told him that the sign at the entrance to the car park also said there were vacancies so I was just going to enter the car park and check. He was not happy with this but we drove into the car park and found a space within 30 seconds. Looking around there were at least 9 other spaces that we could see from where we were parked. Whilst we did get to park in the short stay the argument with the operative was a disappointment and spoilt our departure somewhat. Why do you notify and sell short stay tickets to customers and then tell them on arrival that you have no spaces due to the construction of the new meet and greet facility which you knew about when we booked.It really did spoil our departure.”

“I booked and paid for short stay 2 to be closer to the terminal only to find it was all closed off and j had to use the long stay. What a waste of the extra money. You should not have let me book this if you knew it was closed”

“Wasted our money in the Executive lounge. Poor facilities, tables a mess, far too cold air conditioning. The food was only 'school dinner' standard. Certainly would not recommend to anyone or personally use again.”

“Took a long time to find a car park as all signs going round said full. Eventually parked in a full area. Bus was a long time in coming - more than 20 mins. Not as good an experience as have had many times before.”

“Arrived back in Newcastle on an early morning flight and spent a frustrating 30 minutes queuing for passport control. More passport terminals are required. As a result of delay at passport control (partly) my case had been taken by mistake from the luggage carousel and I had to make a special trip back to the airport a day later when the case was returned. All in all, not a good experience in the middle of the night.”

“Having prebooked online, on arrival at the car Park, The barrier would not open and there's was no button for prebooked cars to allow us entry. We therefore just had to take a ticket and park. On return, the car that was parked opposite us, a black land rover reg BE13 NDA, had bumped into the front of ours and was still touching our car. When trying to leave the barrier would not open and wanted full payment. We had to visit the office to explain we had prebooked, so we could lexit. We mentioned about the other car and was just told to leave a note on the car. A very annoying experience for what we thought should be straight forward.”

“Very poor exit, trying to navigate your car out of the tight exit gates is a disgrace and with the fencing up makes it worse, The height of the ticket machines is poor, I use the car park weekly and see nearly every time people in cars having to get out, review this for yourself”

“I park at the airport each week; the cost is high but it eouldn’t Matter if I was getting a good le of service. Unfortunately I’m not. Each week, because the camera / software can not recognise my private number plate, I am stppped at the barrier. It’s embarrasing being asked for money & holding up others; when I have already prepaid. This doesn't happen st Edinburgh, Leeds or Manchester.”

“Positives: Entry to car park (next to terminal) was a breeze and there were plenty of spaces available. We opted for a space closest to terminal next to some parking barriers(there was a gap of at least 1 car length between barriers and my car) Negatives: Upon our return we found that the barriers had been moved closer to our car?They were now about 2 feet from it. Exiting the space was a bundle of joy - not! Think of Austin Powers 3 point turn. After finally freeing ourselves from the space we make our way to exit barrier. I had pre paid the parking online a week before but the machine was demanding £120 (something) pounds. After alot of back and forth with the chap on the intercom he told me my car registration wasn't on the system??? Fortunately I found the email with the booking, confirmation number and we were finally allowed to leave. We've parked with you twice before this and had no problems. The issue with the car registration is understandable, computers have glitches all the time, but being practically pinned in by a barrier is not on, this was human error on your part - not unacceptable. This will in no way deter me from parking with you again, I will just avoid any barriers and keep my booking details at hand upon exit. I suggest anyone else wishing to use this car park do the same.”

“Car park building works not explained beforehand so arriving at 6.30am meant finding way thro building site in the dark. Not fun or reassuring if leaving car for a week on a building site.”

“Meet and greet is not what I would call this, trade descriptions might be interested too. So I come to the car park. Go into the office all ready with my keys and paperwork, to be told “you will have to find somewhere to park it” on return the same a finger pointed in the general direction of my car. What a joke it should just be called closest to airport parking.”
