Has Corfu airport sorted itself out yet - or is it still mayhem ?

Our trip out in May was dreadful - Birmingham was manic, and when we had the same at Kerkyra !!

But it didnt take any of the gloss off what was a fantastic time. Hoping for more in September - less the queues !!

The scanners are now by the check-in desks so it's not so bad. - But you still have to queue outside. Makes a bit of a mockery pre-booking seats to avoid getting there early. I think Corfu Airport will always be chaotic so we always expect the very worse. Anything better than that is a slight improvement.

Hi Eggy     and Nesty
    This is why we've try and get night flights as it eases any agro either end, and if there is a delay of any kind in Corfu its nice and cool,which we haven't had yet,touch wood !!!!!! also when you get home you can go on the motorways with hardly any traffic.
This year our flight out is 06:00am and the flight back is 23:50pm.

Thats why we liked to fly on Sundays. It was a very early departure from Bristol ( Dead Quiet ) and a 12 o'clockish Sunday return. We had never seen Corfu Airport so quiet. Thompson/Brittania told us it  was a choice between losing the Sunday Flights or a midweek flight and the midweek flight won! - I have yet to find out where the mid-week flight leaves from.
I still think, and Wendy Egg thinks I am becoming obsessed, that Sunday Flights were withdrawn because most people on these flights were flight only.
