Flights to Corfu Summer 2012

[tonyco1]

Different euro/drachma whatever, prices will have to be equivalent to keep up with market forces or others like Loftyscot will go elsewhere.
I agree with Jim who is saying hold fire if you don't have a good deal, so Lofty - all is not lost yet, hold on for a few months and monitor prices.
We got a good deal looking ahead, but if not we would have waited, even booked last minute, rather than be blackmailed by price,
and if it didn't work out - plenty of places to go, and always another date available when prices are good.

just thought I would mention my experience this year regarding booking last minute.
Unfortunately we couldnt book until 3 weeks before departure I looked on the website everyday and every
time a seat on the plane had been booked or a room taken in any of the appartments in San Stef the price
went up not down. We eventually booked in the Olga appartments (which were great by the way) but we
payed well over the odds of what we would have payed had we booked early

So what if they do, they will not turn away tourists which are their biggest money spinner for them. Roll on the drachma!

That's right, they can't shut the country, people have to earn money to live, just a bit of a mess - then look at Italy - - much worse!

Hi Loftyscot, Thomsons from Edinburgh is £328 on the 20th July. We are thinking of flying from Newcastle with Jet2.com which is about £100 cheaper each. I hope the Olga do well without Thomsons,

Message for Lesley and all you other Stef fans - BMI baby don't fly from Bristol - more's the pity as competition is good.

I refused to book my flights with Thomsons as their 14 day flights from the North East are at ridiculous prices.It is now April 11th and they still want 620 pounds for 2 flights from Newcastle on the 15th June.I did not book with Easyjet as a late return to Manchester followed by a 140 mile drive is not ideal.While checking for cheaper flights today I went on Skyscanner and checked on one way flights to and from Corfu.
The outcome being I have booked 2 single flights both ways for a total cost of 356 pounds.
The strange thing is they are both with Thomson. In fact they are the same flights Thomsons want to charge 620 pounds for  two return flights.
This means I have saved 264 pounds by booking one way flights in both directions.
What a rip off world we live in.

Will only see you on our first day Yiannis as we arrive on the day that you leave (as last year).  We will make an effort to see you at The Romanza before you leave, what time do you depart from The Romanza??

Yesterday must have been my lucky day.
The cheapest 14 day return flight on the 15th June out of Newcastle to Corfu however booked is now with Thomas Cook. The price has shot up to 584 pounds for 2 passengers.
Remind me to do Lotto this weekend.

We were lucky this year, I paid around £360 for two people from Gatwick, with nice flight times on Ejet,
inc Speedy Boarding and the usual "EXTRA's" like suitcases - bargain it now seems. (I booked last December),
Price today is almost £200 dearer.
