Benpb Posted August 9, 2019 #55 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Landed there today from East Mids on the Friday 8.55am departure. Customs was a breeze (10 min) and the flight took exactly 3 hours. However... It took 50 minutes to get our cases off the conveyer as they had added 4 flights to the one tiny conveyer and most folk were still in passports so the same cases trundled round perpetually. Everything after that was smooth and efficient, including cases delivered to our cabin. Edited August 9, 2019 by Benpb Autocorrect error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking as we speak, just hoping the insurance gods are going to be kind. Obviously we are disappointed but I am a believer that everything happens for a reason good or bad. Keep well.

Tony1878 Posted September 1, 2019 #67 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Sorry it's taken awhile to post since my return. Unfortunately, i don't have good news, Corfu airport was as bad as ever. The inward journey was ok, very busy as you would expect, but we didn't take too long to clear our bags and transfer to the coaches. Coming back was the worst experience i have ever had in all the years i have been travelling. First problem - we had to queue outside for over an hour in 35 degrees second problem - 50 minute wait once we were inside the terminal as the baggage conveyors were not working third problem - another 40 minutes getting through security once we were through security, we were put on the plane immediately, no time for a drink or food or the shops. TUI really need to monitor this as i personally know people who won't touch Corfu because of the airport. Just in case you are yet to go on a cruise on the Discovery and you are worried by my comments, don't be............. this was one of the best cruises that i have been on, i loved the ship and staff, the food and atmosphere on board was terrific.

The Med has been in the high 30s thru July and August,your story is disgusting that they didn't provide water at least.You wouldn't leave a dog out in that.Hopefully in Sept it will improve with the kids back at school etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
