DTVA

You're on your soap box again!

Every travel agent I have ever been in, an that is quite a few, ask questions before offering anything.
Where do you want to go to?
Duaration?
Dates?
Flight preferneces - airport, time etc?

If you say you want to travel from DTV as a first choice, then any agent worth their commission will offer this first.
Sadly though, if a passenger wants choice, then it's likely to be the airport up the road, the one down the M1 or the one across the M62.

Simjock - you've got it just about right.
You'd not save any (or very little) time going to NCL for a flight to LGW. It would be 2.5 -3 hours from leaving DTVA before you were in the air, 1hr 15 before you get off in LGW, another 20 mins+ before you could leave the airport (and that's only if you are forst off with the requirement of having your photo taken before you can enter the terminal); and then any travel time you have at that end. And all that assumes that there is a flight time to suit your preferred departure time from DTVA.

How many people traqve to LHR or LGW to then go North again before crossing the pond to the US?
Much quicker, if flight times permit, to go to DUB and then direct over to the US.
