My husband received his copy a couple of weeks ago and is not going to start it till we arrive in  July

It was this article I saw yesterday :

I read it a couple of pages back on this thread it was a comment made by Rod

Arrived back home on Monday from 2weeks in the place we love .We left Gatwick on the 20th .Flight was under 3 hours .Everybody wore masks .Got to Corfu airport ,were not tested got luggage in 20 mins 👍.Used the TUI transfer coach everybody wore masks .Only 3 drop offs in Sidari then onto San Stef .Arrived at our home from home The Little Prince on its opening day .For the first 4 days we had the pool to ourselves but the second week things got busier .Everything was great as always .We spent a few days on the beach used the sun beds in front of Athina .We enjoyed lunches at Athina beach bar and Mango .Great evening meals at Little Prince,Zorbas ,Yiannis,Manthos ,Fantasea anD Yiannis Grill.Enjoyed many cocktails at Little Prince bar .Had a couple of walks up to Akrotiri .Had a hire car for 1 day and had a drive via Sidari down to Paleokastritsa .Would just like to say a big Thank You to everybody at The Little Prince for making a stay great ,Dimitris and Pipina and Team ,Mike ,Anna &Spiro and Yiannis .The transfer back .....picked up at little Prince then not to Sidari as normal but had a couple of pick ups in Roda .Several people on the the coach were not wearing face masks but as soon as we arrived at the airport they quickly put them on .One of those on the coach not wearing one was vaping on the coach !Corfu airport was great checked in at the new extension ,lovely and cool and plenty of seating ,didn’t have to queue for the loo as they now have have 2 blocks of toilets .Flight back was good not full the same as the one coming out .When we arrived at Gatwick the air crew announced to passengers to stay seated until the air bridge was in place ,as soon as the plane landed and was making its way to the terminal you could hear seatbelts being undone and as soon as it stopped people shot up ! The crew did say passengers would be disembarked row by row but everybody who was near the back of the plane shot forward so we didn’t stand a chance !Anyway apart from that little negative everything was GREAT 👍

Just a little update .Rang TUI this morning, they sorted out the confirmation email so then we were able to select our seats and now it’s changed back to a TUI plane .Just hope the holiday still goes ahead 🤞🏻

Spent a lot of time on the phone this week ,mostly on hold ,but I can’t fault the service we had from TUI very helpful .Our first holiday was from BHX but from Tuesday morning no Thursday flights this year .Got on the phone first thing changed our booking until the next day .Then Thursday morning found out Little Prince are not opening until the 20th July .Rang TUI again only 25mins wait ,really helpful again ,changed it to Gatwick .On the first change had an email confirming changes ,not had one for the 2nd but logged into our account and it is there .We also originally had booked extra legroom seats and picked our seats but on the 2nd am mended holiday only extra space seats were available so went for those .Tried to select our seats ,but  it’s not allowing us because we might not be on a TUI plane .I am a nervous flyer so I’m getting anxious that me and my other 2 family members might not be sat together. Sent Tui Facebook message yesterday ,but no phone lines available over the weekend???

We are going for 2weeks in the middle of July,we were going 2weeks earlier but as we started the booking process it became unavailable
