yes i do not recall LBA as being on Clarksons list of Med departure airports
LBA was def covered by a NCL tour operator (their name escapes me) and BKS was used - def to Majorca maybe other places too
Global holidays used LBA (again BKS iirc) all viscounts
afaik
trying to think of the name of the North East package holiday company
