Hi Bristle Boy
I agree with everything you say .
The Romanza has a very loyal clientle.The vast majority of weeks all rooms are occupied.
What i see as the major obstacle to going it alone is the ability of the hoteliers to set their prices to include flights and transfers and accommodation and at least match the tour operator.The holidaymaker is the same as any consumer and likes a bargain.If the price is not right the vast majority will stick with the tour operators. Its a shame but thats human nature.

Bristle Boy:
Here's my simple comparison:

14 nights for 2 at Romanza, incl. flights with Thomson - say, £1000.

Ejet flights for 2 = £350 for 2, plus 14 nights at Romanza, assume they charge £30/night/room = £420. Therefore total £770 + £80 taxi return = £850.

The couple save money. Romanza gets £30/night/room all to themselves (compared to £8/night thru' Thomsons). With loyal client base should fill rooms from may to sept. Let's call it 20 weeks. £4200 for Romanza with private bookings. With thomson they only receive £1120. No brainer in my book. ;D

Hi Bristle Boy
I cant argue with that logic.The only problem in my case is Ejet do not fly from my area.I suppose Jet2 out of Leeds could be a viable alternative.As i have already booked for 2010 i intend to give it a go in 2011.

The ideas growing on me i have just checked jet2 out of Leeds . Cost for 2 people including 2 hold bags 29th june -13th july2010   275 pounds.

YANNIS26:
I have done further checking on flights from Leeds to Corfu next July with Jet2.After fighting my way through all the extra charges i have found a number of combinations coming in at under 300 pounds for 2.
