I agree with
paarmo it's easy to get to DTVA. Take a look at a map. Trains will soon be stopping there again and road links are good.
If you think that LBA is easy to get to, try driving from Teesside. Once you leave the A1 it's a slow drag.
NCL can be a pain in the neck if you choose the wrong time, dawdling past the Metro Centre. For the NCL to DUB Emirates flight, even though it leaves after mid-day, we choose to go the night before and stay in an hotel for that night rather than risk it on a January morning. Snow brings the area to a standstill.
