Advantages: Ercan airport, Duty Free, shorter transfer time.
Disadvantages: old planes. stopover in Turkey

I have never written a review but find that my recent experience deserves one, To cut to the chase we have flown with KTHY on at least 15 occassions since 1999 and have first hand experience of the service going from bad to worse, but surprise surprise this is a good review. We have a villa near Kyrenia and normally visit at least twice a year, flying in to Larnaca and taxi to the north, checking prices from our closest airports came as a bit of ...
...KTHY website found the dates and duly booked oin their new e/ticket system, arrived at Heathrow no waiting and got the seats that we had chosen Exit seats at no extra cost !!. flight on time and even a smile on boarding (my wife suggested i check my fly) as this is the first time we have had a welcome. Lovely flight and even a decent meal for once and landed on time @ Ercan. The return flight was as good but maybe the meal was not , as good as the ...

Review of Cyprus Turkish Airlines (kthy)

Cyprus Airways

Advantages: Reasonably priced tickets, your own TV screen in the seat in front of you, great service, friendly stewards, comfortable seats ect.
Disadvantages: None yet

...I fly every year to Cyprus from Heathrow to Larnaca, The flight was very quiet, comfortable, and the in-flight entertainment was brilliant. The food was excellent for an aeroplane meal and the stewardesses were very friendly and helpful. The flight is always on time and I would recommend Cyprus Airways any time.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ...

Review of Cyprus Airways

Good value for money

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: no choice in entertainment

Booked a flight with Helios as it was about £20 cheaper than Cyprus Airways & they are recently a newcomer to this route. Flight left 30 minutes late. Seats were made of leather & medium size/leg room. Business class is exactly the same size as economy, only difference is you get more choice of food and newspapers. We were given a drink & snack after take off & a Greek or English newspaper. 1 communal screen showing cheaper by the dozen movie. on ...
...had nothing to watch. meal was nice, had choice of pasta of chicken. planes are relatively old. overall a reasonably good experience & would go again if price is cheaper than the others. apparently they are extremely strict with their baggage allowance, but mine was under so did not experience this, but heard from others who have been. ...

Review of Helios Airways

Flying pasta

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: None

...holidays. As a charter company Eurocypria airlines were the airline allocated after originally being booked with Monarch, an old favourite of mine, but for some inexplicable and unexplained reason Olympic changed the airline. Who am I to question the bureaucratic idiosyncrasies of who I fly with to my holiday destination as long as I get there intact and in one piece? Eurocypria are located in Cyprus, no surprises there as the name is self-explanatory. ...
...national airline. Although Eurocypria first started with airbus 320s they now have a fleet of six Boeing 737-800s the last being delivered in April of this year. This sounded good to me as I am a fan of the Boeing 737. They do run a minimal amount of scheduled routes, but mainly to obscure European airports, their main forte being in the charter sector. CHECK-IN After arrival at Gatwick with my customary extra hour allowed to meet any unknown issues ...

Review of Eurocypria Airlines

NO to TAP, never again

Advantages: good food, good on air service
Disadvantages: delays, very bad on ground services, bad and wrong informations

...over Lisbon Our experience with TAP was actually pretty bad. We booked direct flights from Stockholm to Lisbon. Before that we had to come to Stockholm first from another town of Sweden and in Lisbon we changed flight again with TAP to go to Funchal. Aproximatly 1 month before the trip (when prices where already very expensive for flights to funchal) we got the information that our flight back will be led over Oslo. this ment for us, we will reach ...
...the street infront of the TAP office. So the day we traveled home, we waited there already 20minutes before the bus started...and waited ... and waited.... and waited... But no bus came. So we had to take this very expensive taxi instead. summarized, I do NOT recommend to anybody this Company!!! Its a very very bad service - at least on the ground. The service in the plane and all can be as nice as it is, the things around are just crappy. We spent ...
