A comment......I spoke to a NCL couple on a cruise last week and asked them how they travelled to BCN to join the ship. Answer...."with no way of getting there direct from NCL we had to drive to LBA to get a direct flight...only an hour and half drive".....did you know that Ryanair flew from NCL direct.?..."NO...do they...wasn't in any of the information I looked at ?"
A little example of 'airport drift' and passengers lack of information on their local airport and what routes it serves.
