Don`t forget Liverpool with another choice for the bucket and spade runs. In the end its down to price, mostly cheaper (often by a lot) from there.But more flights giving more choice.Trains run straight into Manchester airport,from Leeds/Dewsbury/Huddersfield, doing away with car journeys and parking costs. LBA prices can too often be uncompetitive as well as having to use a car to get there, and Yorkshire folk won`t waste money.....ever
