Flights to Corfu Summer 2012

[Lesley]

Have put this in new as couldnt find another so apoligises if already posted, but I received an alert from BMI Baby saying they start flights to Corfu from May 28th through September from East Midlands airport, so now along with Easyjet, Ryan and also Jet2 and Monarch seems plenty of choice for next summer if you are doing your own thing.  Their website being www.bmibaby.com. So thats London Gatwick, Stanstead, Luton, Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol and now East Midlands covered for our visitors, all a step in the right direction. Now needs some Scottish flights with good prices.

That rumour was flying around the Little Prince last night so its good to hear its true, I like East Midlands Airport despite the drive from home and Gill loves it because she can have a fag in departures.

Now where is my credit card

Hmmm, just been onto the BMI Website and the flight in late July is £511 for two people with bags.

Easyjet from Luton is cheaper for the same dates.

Saw their lead in price was 68 pounds in Late May,o/w - maybe they will come down rather than up in price, when they do their research with the other non frills and be a bit more competetive, fingers crossed especailly with Easyjet now adding the Luton leg for summer 2012.

Wishing you both Andy & Gill a fab weekend despite the rain its lovely just to wind down, catch up with friends and have a good break away, so enjoy and have a fun time  (Me I'm off to do the ironing mountain that's piled up all summer as was too hot to do).......

Ryan announced yesterday another new route for summer 2012 which will be Leeds/Bradford into Corfu......

and Michael O'Leary has announced that they will accept drachmas or any other currency,
"even mountain goats"  !

The 'goats' will be the passengers if O'Leary gets his way!!

[Richard/Jackie/Nathan]

They might have announced it but you can't get a price for flights on it yet!

Looks like BMI may get taken over by IAG (who own BA). They have a lot flights out of heathrow so it could be that IAG are buying these slots at heathrow rather than buying an airline that is losing loads of money! It could be that BMI may not be around next year.

Virgin have also contacted Lufthansa and put in a bid for BMI

The BMI thing is a worry, lot's of down sides to this as the big players just want take-off slots for sure.

I wanted to travel in June to Corfu, but Easyjet prices went high,
however I just found some great Gatwick to Corfu return prices in July, for around £110 - to £140 (depends on flight and day).
So very likely I will go for these if my apartments are confirmed.

Still open on dates, but not in school holidays this time, can't wait of course,
looks like I won't be able to schedule it with some of our friends though, which is a shame!

[tonyco1]

We just booked Easyjet, Gatwick-Corfu, for really silly prices, in July - can't believe it!
We always found E/Jet a good carrier as long as you play to their rules.
So cheap I even bought speedy boarding!

Paid a fair rate for the Apartment in Corfu - Very fair to the vendor, fair to me - everyone's a winner!

This to me, was a good deal overall, nice place to stay and a good inclusive deal inc. transfer and A/Con. - Happy!

Flights from Scotland are way too expensive for next Summer's school holidays, eg £1300 flight only for family of three, so alas we will do something different next year. Even the packages have stepped up too, so by the time you add on about £1800 spending then San Stef has priced itself out of the market for the facilities you get in the village.....sad as we enjoyed our 4 years there.

I'm slightly amazed that people are looking this far ahead. The financial and political crisis is still tottering on the edge of chaos. Is it clear what flight and accommodation commitments can be met in 2012 if, as seems very likely, Greece will exit the Eurozone in a few months?
