Yes Jimbo this is precisely my problem. I have an airport 30 minutes from my door, so can be dropped off and collected, and only Thomson flies from there to Corfu, and travelling as a minimum of 200 miles round trip to another with all the added cost of petrol/parking etc is  something not really acceptable only in extremis.
 I can get flights only from local to Corfu with Thomson and that would cost us £730 return in 2013, then add on the taxi cost transfer at 110€ return plus the cost of SS it costs us more to go 'private', it also shows just how little the hotels get. I usually pay  Thomson around £1000 for the two of us for two weeks in May and September , so if you weigh up flights,and transfers out of the thousand then that does not leave much for the hotelier does it?
  I was fully prepared to travel to Stansted next year to go to the Tsaros, but now thankfully it seems that the status quo has returned( even if nothing showing on the website yet until the books come out)

I work as a salesman and as Jumbo says the 1 room left ploy.....most of the time....is crap!!
Its called a fear close and is a well known tactic.
I may use it by saying I can only offer this deal to one customer or if you don't sign up today it might be different tomorrow.
Load of rubbish as i'd be happy to offer them the deal whenever....Im just looking for comittment!

Hye Jimbo - am 'getting there' this time tomorrow it will be me sitting on the balcony watching the sun mist - I truly cannot wait - how has your stay been at the nafsika - I really love that little hotel, location, food, ambience etc.

Jimbo:
It's been great. Full report tomorrow when I have a full-sized keyboard to type on! We're in room 3 - maybe you'll inherit it!

Sarah:
Swedebasher - you wouldn't be talking about Norwich airport would you??  If so i know exactly what you mean 30 minutes to be dropped off and collected.
