Can someone, in the UK, kindly check to see if the proposed Immigration staff strike is to go ahead 4/5 August, please.

I have flown many time with Cyprus Airways (which I love) and a few times with Monarch (which I hate) but never with EuroCypria. Anyone travelled with them before who can offer a review?

Eurocypria is owned by Cyprus Airways. All it's planes are old planes of Cyprus Airways. Having said this, some of their planes do not have on-board entertainment.

To be honest, the price of the tickets is not that much cheaper, and I would rather pay 40/50 pounds more to fly with Cy. Airways because their service is far better, with more leg room.

Budget airlines like XL Airways are far worse.

Here is my own personal rating of EuroCypria, Cyprus Airways is in brackets just do so can compare.

Arrival/Departure on time: 4/5 (3/5)
Service of Staff: 4/5 (4/5)
Other people on plane: 2/5 (4/5)
Plane Tidiness: 2/5 (4/5)
Legroom: 2/5 (4/4)

The main one for me is the class of people who fly with me. I have witnessed two on-plane arguments from passengers, and believe me, I rather I was not there. Having the plane filled with yobs is not my idea of relaxing. I also enjoy legroom and hate paying extra for my drinks. Cyprus Airways does not charge extra for on board drinks.

The airlines which I recommend are:

1. Cyprus Airways
2. First Choice
3. Thomas Cook (some planes, not all)

This is all, I hope this helped you.

Eurocypria is not owned by Cyprus Airways now and their planes are not the old Cyprus Airways planes. That would be impossible as CYprus Airways has never flown Boeings and Eurocypria flies 737's.

Why do people post about stuff they know nothing about?

Ok, it used to be,

"was a wholly owned subsidiary of Cyprus Airways, but on 28 June 2006, the latter sold the entire share capital of Eurocypria to the Government of Cyprus for CY£13,425,000. It was sold due to the poor financial situation at Cyprus Airways and because it was one of the few ventures of Cyprus Airways to make a profit."

I was told that EuroCypria has the old planes of Cyp. Airways, maybe I was mistaken.

XL went bust a few months ago

Although I used them a few times and had no problems

Do you have a list of the Thomas Cook planes that should be avoided?

Nope, I went twice with them, once it was more than okay, but the other time I felt like a chicken with no room to move. I do not have a list, avoid smaller planes, that's all I can say. I tend to travel on the A320 planes with Cyp. Airways, I know what to expect.

XL as well as Air2000 went bust, I hated both of them. When I was with XL their air condition was leaking on my head, it was around the time Elios fell down, I thought we were next. I was really scared.
