Ryanair customer's warning after being caught out by 'illegal' car park at Newcastle Airport

A Tyneside holidaymaker was left in a tight spot when he turned up at Newcastle Airport ready to fly to Spain.

Despite buying his airport parking days earlier with Ryanair, John Paton and his wife, Sheila, were met with puzzled faces instead of the meet and greet service by Looking4Parking he had paid for. And although Ryanair and Newcastle Airport have confirmed there was a problem with parking at the airport, they can't agree who is to blame for the mix-up.

John and Sheila, both 69, arrived in good time and in good spirits, looking forward to their break in Malaga. However, they were soon brought back down to earth when John, from Monkseaton, claims he called the number on the parking voucher he had been sent by Ryanair - only to find there was no-one to answer his call, never mind to collect his car.
