    Used to use Aspire at NCL all the time, but £80 for two OAP with way way over the top. Our daughter did a business from NCL to LHR and the BA lounge at LHR is 100% better.

    Sorry about the lounge experience guys
    Down here at the London airports never seem to be queues because the bars in the lounges are normally self service ,even the spirits.
    Just used the lounge at Gatwick and it was £29 each and loads of choice for food and the lounge was proper chilled out .
    I reckon aspire Newcastle need to up there game shocking

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  หลายเดือนก่อน

      First we ever did was at Leeds and it was self service. It was a great experience. Newcastle have always had staff serving, probably to keep an eye on those drinking too much.

    When did yous fly ? Was it on a Saturday also. Think the lounge is crap nowadays and you have a point about 1 person serving

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We flew on 15th Sept, which was a Sunday. Yeah we just wanted to try it again with it being our anniversary as we knew we wouldn't get to our destination until late. That ruled out getting an evening meal so decided to this instead. It would've been better going to Greggs beforehand. Never been as busy as that mind.
      Quite sure the 1 person serving is a ploy like, theu couldn't the queues were massive. In a bar or even a shop, if that was the case, they'd get extra people serving. Total money grab.

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hopefully it'll be a bit quieter now the peak season has passed. We found the morning food options were far better than the afternoon so you might be OK. However, it was about a year and a half ago we were in for the morning. Was half as busy as that and the breakfast sandwiches were good. No queues for drinks either. That's definitely the busiest we've seen it.

    Pleased you got that Aspire review in, looks utterly awful in my opinion like a lounge from the early nineties in every way! Lounges are meant to be places where you don't get loads of people or queues anywhere. Football shirt spotted aswell. Clearly just a money spinner and offers nothing like what a lounge should offer in terms of fayre and ambience. Will not be paying for that so thank you. Aye we had an absolute weapon behind us to G. Canaria last year, these types can afford to travel these days unfortunately. Quite like the apartments, basic but everything you need and comfortable. Cheers guys.

      @marksanderson8827 Thanks for the comments Mike. Completely agree about the lounge, hopefully our suffering has helped many others the agony of it.
      Would've been better just going to normal bars in airport, queues would've been fewer and agree, total money spinner.
      Yes, budget travel has seen and increase in the rowdy crowd, see it a lot more these days unfortunately.
