Hi, Louise,
We'll be on the same 14:10 flight! I'll wear a forum sticker, so maybe we'll see you in the departure lounge - come and say hello.
Donny is a nice airport to fly from. It's small (only 6 gates) and has lots of car parking space right outside the terminal. It's only a few miles on small roads from the M18/M180 to the airport, and next year the new motorway spur will go straight from the M18 to the airport.
There's not a lot of shopping to be had (basically Duty Free and WH Smith), but there is a Weatherspoons for a bit of lunch and a drink, and a kiddies' play area if you fancy a spot of fun before departure.
So far, we haven't had any delays on many trips. Fingers crossed! Flight time from Robin Hood to Corfu is 2 hours 55 minutes, and the route is over Amsterdam, Austria and down the Adriatic, so even if the French air traffic controllers strike, it won't affect us. Wonderful views out of the left of of the plane flying down beside the Albanian coastal mountains. Don't be nervous - it's fun.
See you soon!
Good to hear about the new motorway spur Jimbo, it was a real pain going through the housing estates of Doncaster to get to the airport.
I love Doncaster airport, it's the only airport I know where you can park next to your aircraft! OK bit if an exaggeration but you can park so close to the terminal it's great, not like Manchester where you end up parking 5 miles away and they still call it 'on site'!
Much prefer the smaller airports but sometimes price drives us to grotty Manchester and it's 15 minute walk to the Easyjet gate, always gets Gill in a mood that does.
