We are tempted to dump our deposit book Easyjet and make our own way, I have already contacted the Fedra Mare, Vicky and Kapetanios.

This really is the last time we book a package to San Steph, the combination of Easyjet and direct booking means packages just are not worth it!

Gilly..... I told you last year!   Easyjet get good flying weather too........... Maybe!!!

Gillywoo:

Not sure about the flying weather Don ;), but we were impressed last year with Easyjet so thats the way from now on.

You can also book Easyjet from Saturday to Monday so thats 16 nights in San Steph instead of 14!

I have emailed Thomas Cook for an assurance on the Mythos but not holding my breath.

If you get a knock on your door on June 28th it will be us with our bags!! :)

We did the Easyjet thing last year - best flight yet! Booked independently with San Stef Travel that time,
but have booked direct with many Apartments over the years - we just look for a good deal.
If the flights cheap, go independently - if it's not packages may be better value!
But - Thomson's packages have always been very good - if the price is right!
Thomas Cook has a small footprint in San Stefanos, so is more prone to over-booking etc.
or if it has lost the Mythos, it will have limited alternatives.

No one should panic yet - best to wait and see for a bit, before spending more money!

If you paid & T/Cook put you elsewhere in Corfu and you can't get a refund, (you should),
you can always just do a transfer to S S and book an Apt, just use the flight you already paid for.
Secondly - - knock on Don's door for a free stay - - LOL

I replied earlier regarding our booking to Mythos on 25th June, but up until now, and we have paid our balance, we have not heard anything from Thomas Cook regarding a cancellation, and we are just a week behind Rod.  Hopefully everything will be ok, but it does make you a bit apprehensive as to what will happen.  I also did a bit of checking to see what was available in SS for our dates, very little, and as we fly from Newcastle the flight only is nearly as much as we paid for the holiday in the first place.  We also for years and years did our own thing, booked flight and accommodation separately but when we priced everything up last September when we booked, we could not get anything near the price of the package from TC, that's why we booked with them. Also because the Mythos looked lovely and a very small complex which is what appealed.  Will let you know if we hear anything and think will give TC a call.

Thanks Madge, again, when you get some info, please post it as lots of interested parties waiting to find out what's happening!
