British Airways to Corfu summer 2015

[Lesley]

I have just read on another forum that British Airways announced today that from May 2015 there will be flights directly to Corfu from London Heathrow.  They are available on line via BA website or via UK travel agencies bookable from October 1st for next summer.

I've just taken a look on BA'S website, and the prices are brilliant....under £200 for return in August, hand luggage only, and under £250 with hold luggage, in school holidays!!!

Remember there's people here in San Stef who do independant accommodation bookings, and people who can help you with booking, ie Lesley, Noula.

Loads of us have already immediately booked with B A from Heathrow
the deal is good. Direct flights... 
They fly Mon / Thurs / Fri / Sunday from Heathrow - not checked the other airports yet
A cabin Bag up to 23kg plus a smaller laptop bag or handbag, 23kg Hold Luggage £20 extra, free refreshments, drink & breakfast in our case out to Corfu -
Great flight times fly out 07:30... you can't fault it  - and it's just 10 mins to T5 from us

The flights are attracting loads of interest - - v/cheap - - book early...

Note: there seems to be an error on the website - they give 4 hours to fly - when it's three hours - or maybe they got the time zone wrong - - just keep an eye on the times..

We tend to forget the non charter airlines...As with us Aegean airlines out of Brussels €115 return end of july,so with insurance €152 .and 23kg luggage,8kg hand luggage and refreshments.
They also have a very good reputation for being on time....
Great for you Tony for T5....

Makes a nice change Rilo57
We do fly Heathrow for Long haul but, unless domestic (Scotland etc.), it's always Gatwick, Luton or Stanstead usually.

I should have booked last week when 10-28 Aug was £230 each all in - now up to £300

Will sit tight and wait to see what the spring brings as Easyjet released theirs yesterday and prices were still in the £280 - £320 bracket which is more than I paid when I waited to book until end of April last year.....

[tonyco1]

For us right now the EJ and BA prices are similar, but we make a huge saving of the extra £120 it costs for a Taxi or Parking at Gatwick.
Heathrow T5 is just 10 mins away.. so everything is a plus...

 Will be passing close by Tony as i drive over next week for a few days to see the grandkids.Allways dread the M25 round heathrow..Normally stay over round Beaconsfield but this trip will be in one day so a 10 hour slog..

[rilo57]

 Cheers...no doubt will have to call in at Adinkirke for supplies for the family..Did you manage to stop for
 a look Cambridge on your trip?

[cambridge]

We didn't, I was fretting too much about making sure we got to Dusseldorf in good time. We will however be going here in November: Noël Cuvelier's Rural Supermarket (which also sells a lot of beer! And I mean alot) Abelestationsplein 30, 8970 Poperinge West Flanders (on the D984/N38)

[rilo57]

Yes Cambridge,much to see and eat and drink in Poperinge.Talbot house is a must see,its a b&b and also museum where the troops recovered from the turmoil of the trenches,has its own chapel in the roof.we have been in Nieueport for the weekend on the coast,visited ypres saturday for the last post,very humbeling..next weekend is a weekend for rememberance with a 100 mile of candles lit at sundown.....Hope to go back and join the rememberance..........Sorry that this has no relavance to this post but if it wasent for the fallen who willingly gave their lives for us to live in pezce we wouldnt be enjoying what we enjoy now......

 Couldn't agree more. Sometimes we forget how lucky we are.
