CYPRUS AIRWAYS GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER !

Postby miltiades » Tue Dec 08, 2009 11:16 am

Booking a flight to Cyprus for Dec 24th to Jan 7th , a whole two weeks , my longest ever time in Cyprus.
British airways same day an hour later , same return , charges £345.00 , CYA on the other hand , infected no doubt by that Cypriot decease currently rampant at Paphos and Larnaca airport , KOPSEKKELLE , charge £507 plus £10 booking fee ( greedy bastards) making a total of £517 , which is £172 more than BA REPRESSENTING 47% MORE !!!
Who runs Cyprus Airways for crying out loud . It is the nations national airline and it should act responsibly not allowing some tin pot little accountant decide on the price.
Now , I'm not a stingy man but at the same time I hate it when someone stitches me up .
Get your act together Cyprus airways pay attention to the competition .

I'm annoyed at the governments inability to impose upon these con men the need to protect the good name of our island. When Cappuccino Coffee at Heathrow is £2.00 and Paphos at almost double at 3.50 euros , when espresso at Heathrow is at £1.30 and Paphos 2.95 EUROS , then something is clearly not right . The tourist industry IS THE GOOSE that lays the Golden egg and has to be protected.

I will never again travel with British Airways after my last two experiences ... both a direct result of their "cost-cutting" exercises as the whole "company" is bankrupt.

Cyprus Airways are excellent value for money.

If you can't afford it, stay away/home, or pack sandwiches/thermos!

Better for the environment, all round ...

It doesn't need tourists......ask Oracle :lol:

Re: Cyprus Airways - their prices are always about 5 times more than any other airline. Maybe they don't want to fly from the UK or maybe Oracle is the CEO!

O, do try and be rational. It is not a question whether one can afford the inflated CY Prices. The prices are high purely because of mismanagement. CA HAS BEEN LOSING MONEY FOR YEARS !!
As for BA , I have travelled many times and have always been entirely satisfied . On one occasion , June this year , Iris was unwell and the service provided by BA was second to none.
It would be unwise and rather spend-drift just to throw money away out of nationalistic pride !!

It has nothing to do with nationalistic pride and everything to do with experience. I've probably flown to a greater variety of places than you, using BA ... and they stink (literally!). If you look at the statistics, you will find that CA has been outperforming BA who are now having to sell off some of their assets to make ends meet.

But then you pretend a reversal effect through thinking it gives you some kind of "rebel" image.
