Corfu International Airport

Corfu Airport :~ Now if anybody should know how bad Corfu or Kerkyra airport is i should as we had a delay of 8 1/4 hours. Mind you this was nothing to do with the airport more to do with Thomson and not getting a replacement plane after ours had broken down in Turkey almost 24hrs previously. Arrival :~ Upon arrival we were met by buses to take us from the plane to the terminal. So as usual they pack you in like sardines then off we went 15 very sweaty seconds later we stop and get off. Why we had to get on the bus when walking would have been quicker and more comfortable someone higher only ... more

We arrived at Corfu Airport on Monday 12th May at approx 15:45 local time. As usual some passengers ignored the instruction to stay in your seats with seat belt fastned until the plane has come to a stand and the engines have been switched off. Why these people think it will make their bags appear on the carousel any quicker is beyound me. On leaving the plane you are taken by bus to the arrivals door, quick and effeicent. Passport control was a mere wave thru job so no delays there. Baggage reclaim was quick, the cases started just after our arrival in the belt area. Thru to arrivals hall ... more

You would expect that early in the morning; (5am to be precise), you would arrive to find a nice, sedate, and empty airport. After all, when waiting for my midnight flight from stansted it was all very relaxed. Hardly a person in sight apart from the 100 or so people waiting for the 00:30 flight to corfu. We were wrong! When my boyfriend and I arrived at the airport, it was heaving, and only 2 flights had arrived previously. Passport control was quick and we just had to fight our way to the baggage belts amongst the 300 or so people. You would think this was bad for an airport with only 2 ... more

This summer I visited Corfu with my boyfriend for the first time, it was absolutely wonderful. Having avoided the mayhem of Kavos we settled for the resort of Moratika, it was only 40 minutes from the airport. For those of you who have visited Corfu before, you may know what i am on about when i say that the airport is conpletely chaotic during peak season. The reps had warned us of the likelihood of huge queues etc. The queues were not the problem, for such a busy place the terminal simply needed to be a whole lot bigger than it was. There was no where to sit, people were sitting on the floor ... more

corfu airport came as a surprise to me, after being told how awful and smokey it was by a friend who had been there previously. when you first arrive there granted it is very hot and clammy but then you have just arrived in a hot climate, in all fairness you dont get to see all that much of the airport when you arrive, its when your going home, on the way home you arrive to a massive que outside, now this is the last thing you want when your holiday has just ended, but it does go down very quickly and your soon inside probably getting searched like i did, well i suppose thats there job and ... more
