I just checked with Aegean Air and there are no flights to/from Corfu at that time of year.
I'm not giving up the idea just yet!!

Thats a shame Fiona, there were seats available with Aegean when I posted the message on Saturday. Perhaps they were all booked up by quick off the mark Easyjet passengers!
It's just so expensive no matter which way I plan the journey. There are budget flights to Venice, but the ferry crossing in a cabin both ways pushes the total price right up. There are budget flights to Bari and Brindisi which have shorter crossings which don't require a cabin, but it's impossible to get a ferry crossing to coincide with the flights...at least for the dates which we want to travel.
We can fly with the likes of KLM or BA locally from Edinburgh or Newcastle to Athens with a stop-over enroute, but again it's very expensive.
We shall see if there is a special Christmas Charter announced later on this year.
Meanwhile like you I've not given up on the idea just yet and I will keep watching for any alternatives! Let me know if you have any ideas!
