Two grand to get the kids & me over in the summer ! & The service is always crap. Idiots. Bring back BA & a bit of normality ! Getting decent flights to Cyprus is a nightmare at the best of times & I'm not sure Easyjet mucking about is going to help anybody !

Well there is a thinking behind this Nigeboy, don't go when they are £2k!

I went out last July for 2 weeks and return flights cost £380, for two of us!!!

I priced a week in April it came to £1800 for 4 of us. No direct flights from Newcastle so a change a heathrow required

Crap

Here is an announcement from BA and an attempt at clarification by a retired BA pilot.


New BA (Gatwick) shorthaul routes to Paphos and Malta.

British Airways has finally confirmed that it will continue to fly a daily service from London Gatwick to Paphos and also London Gatwick to Malta, replacing the routes currently operated by franchise partner GB Airways.

From July 1, the flight to Paphos will be operated by BA mainline and again will offer both Economy and Club Europe cabins. Flight prices will lead in at £80 per person one-way.

From March 30, BA mainline will operate the flight to Malta offering both Economy and Club Europe cabins. Flight prices will lead in at £36 per person one-way.

Paphos becomes BA's second destination in Cyprus. The airline currently operates daily flights between London Heathrow and Larnaca and recently celebrated its 75th anniversary of operations in the country.

In total, there will be 13 new shorthaul routes from Gatwick next summer.

They are Alicante, Antalya, Faro, Genoa, Gibraltar, Ibiza, Malaga, Malta, Palma, Paphos, Poznan, Tunis and Warsaw.

Nine of the new routes are operated currently by GB Airways whose franchise agreement with BA ends in March 2008.


I think that many of you have been wondering what was in store for Cyprus when EasyJet purchase of GB Airways at the end of March 2008 takes place. You will notice that the LGW - PFO operation starts on 01/07/2008, at the moment it is unclear what is happening between 30/03/2008 and the beginning of July, however it appears (as seats are still being sold) that GB Airways (EasyJet) or another operator may possibly operate the route on BA's behalf for this gap period - however please be aware that this is purely speculation by the retired Pilot's group resident in Cyprus

But yet again it is all about London, a few of us live outside the place. There is this area of the UK called 'The North'

How True,
Our airport of choice is Stanstead and have to pay a premium to exercise that choice.

Aye lad, grim oop there I'm told. Stansted is my nearest one of any real use, Norwich do fly to Cyprus but they take the piss when it comes to pricing.

At last that greedy pig Stelios gets round to offering a service to his home land. Wonder what took him so long.

The flights are value for one way, UK to Cyprus, but you're better off using another budget line coming back. Return flights are where they get your money.

The route of the problem....... hermes greed.

The government should force them to slash landing costs. It costs airlines around 70% more to land at a Cyprus airport than a Spanish one - I wonder why hardly any fly to Cyprus??????
