Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > Where to stay

Who are you kidding Thomson?

Tredegar Boy:
Thomson are having a Scooby-Doo.

We want to fly from Bristol on 11th July next year. Current price per person £318 (£448 from Cardiff which is only 60 miles further west - explain that one). I tried the "one-way" idea and was quoted £249.99 each from Gatwick as they had no flights that went to Corfu on the day I wanted and from the airport I wanted. What!!!!!

The return quote was £289.99 each which is a total cost of £539.98 x 3 = £1619.94. and that's without baggage, extra space seats (I'm 6'1" and my 15 year old is 6'2" - my wife's a midget 5'7").

What a load of *@#!$.

According to the Telegraph last week the price of airfares has only gone up 2% since the summer of last year. that may or may not be true for those flying from in and around London but certainly isn't from the provincial airports out west. 

I'll keep checking everyday as I ain't going to miss a trip.

Bristle Boy:
It's pretty simple to explain Tredegar Boy -
Thomsons do not want fly-only passengers, plus it's likely that their package sales are v strong and indicating near-full capacity for when u want to go next year.
Simple supply and demand.

My advice is to wait for Easyjet July flights release and book them straight away. The one downer is that Ejet flights to Corfu, from Bristol, are crap times!

Jimbo:
I think Bristle Boy is right. 2011-2012 it costed about £12 per passenger for a full 737 to take off from Bristol. It's cheaper at Gatwick (around £10.50), surprisingly enough.

Jet fuel is very expensive at the moment - so nobody's making very much money for the flight. But a package holiday is going to bump this value up quite a lot.

Gill C:
I agree Bristol flight times are not good we have gone with them the last two years ,but if it saves pounds we are willing to put up with them.Have to admit we are not travelling with  young children.

ybroc1:
