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 ...
...had to get on the bus when walking would have been quicker and more comfortable someone higher only knows. What makes it crazier the other bus pulls up behind us with next to nobody on it, so why does everyone get told to cram on the first bus? Inside the airport air conditioning keeps you cool. Next passport control, some Greek policeman more interested in the girls with short skirts than looking at any one's passport. Toilets are located near ...

Review of Corfu International Airport

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 ...
...the queueing and chaos of Corfu Airport. We were to be nicely Surprised, perhaps the early season, and we were going the other way on a bank holiday monday. Arrived on the coach, queued for about 5 mins before being taken to checkin desk. Checked in, you then have to queue again to have your cases Xrayed, again only a 5 min job. There is a Snack bar on the upper level, where you can get a drink or a feed before going thru to departures, this ...

Review of Corfu International Airport

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 ...
...the baggage belts amongst the 300 or so people. You would think this was bad for an airport with only 2 baggage belts. We were also wrong on this. After we got there, a flight arrived roughly every 10 minutes, and as the sun came up you quickly noticed the temperature rising amongst the 600 hundred or so people in the airport. Then the panic started. My bag had seemingly vanished. My boyfriend had found his at around 5:30 in the morning. Pretty much ...

Review of Corfu International Airport

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, ...
...be a whole lot bigger than it was. There was no where to sit, people were sitting on the floor, standing in the middle of aisles, sharing seats, sitting on bags, and this makes for an unpleasant end to what has been a lovely break. Check-in was fairly sharpish, the staff were very efficient but having checked in early we were stuck in an extremely overcrowded departure lounge. We found that the food was expensive and there was little choice. Signposting ...

Review of Corfu International Airport

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 ...
...and your soon inside probably getting searched like i did, well i suppose thats there job and there was no harm done, the staff there are in no mood for joking so keep your head down and get through to departures, i seen a few people get held back because they were joking around. departures is really busy and theres a huge cue to get a drink or something to eat, so your probably better off getting something before you go, however once your through ...

Review of Corfu International Airport

Corfu Airport Is a bloody hell hole, I would advise you not to land at this airport, it could seriously damage your health. My story starts when our plane started its final decent into the shit hole. If you are not the best flyer, don't look down! I'm not joking; the runway is no bigger than my bleeding back yard! There is a police man - easily visible from the air, he stops the bleeding traffic when a plane takes off and lands! I wonder if this ...
...not let me board my flight. I had some Greek git pointing his long gun at me, hurling abuse at me in Greek! I had to pay for another flight! I will not be returning to the shit hole again…..On the plus side, Corfu was really nice ...
