Thanks blondegirl any info will be helpful.
Is it right that there is only one bus a day to corfu town and that it leaves Arillas at 7.30 in the morning,if so it looks like I will be having a few pepsi nights a bit like i am having now!

Russell,
You are correct in your thinking jmc was Thomas Cooks Airline

We are flying with Thomas Cook in June so will be interested in hearing what they are like.We have flown with JMC before and from what I remember they were ok.

Sorry couldnt find anything out, my daughter works for Monarch!

I wouldnt mind knowing what TC are like too as we fly with them in June. Expect they are all a bit of a muchness. We fly to Germany today with Ryannair from Stansted, not looking forward to it very much, I dont like these budget flights as they are a bit of a 'bun fight' and electronic tickets always seem a bit flaky, hope we are on their computers...

If Thomas Cook who is bringing the Drinks?

Hi have just been on a Google website for tcx airlines and there are mixed comments about them
Some say that they had good flights and some not so good i.e leg room
all well just have to find out for our selves.

Hi all,

I have used Thomas Cook Airlines a few times now to various places.
All in all they are 1 of the better flights to go with....

blondegirl · February 27, 2006, 10:21:27 AM

Great! Just got back from Germany (Ryannair) and it was ok too, brand new plane, on time, no hassles! Would be good if they did flights to Cofu!

Yep, jmc has changed to Thomas Cook Airlines in 2003 I think it was. Before that jmc was formed when Thomas Cook plc merged Flying Colours with caledonian Airlines which became jmc. Then they wanted everything to be Thomas Cook, not just the shops and company, so the tour ops split into Thomas Cook, jmc and Sunset and jmc airlines because Thomas Cook. Before jmc, the Tour Operations were Sunworld, Sunset, Inspirations etc. I think I got this right. Just some pointless info just to let u no that all these companies have merged and become the thomas Cook/JMC/Sunset holidays and TC Airlines and Travel Agents.

Thanks... I couldnt find out anything, its all confusing though. Just as long as TC are flying on the 19th June I will be happy.

been with tc twice ,no prob with flights ,

big problem transfer to arilas ..aprox 3hrs.

Arilas usualy last drop so stand by for an in depth tour of Sidari

ps.make sure you have some bottled water & survival pack

Yuk don't like the idea of 3 hr transfer time.Always gone with Thomson in the past and it is usually round about an hour as we are the first drop.Will just have to make sure as you say have a survival pack.

We decided after last years delays landing at Corfu Airport and haring off to Brindisi, Italy for refuelling and not arriving at our accommodation much later, and just going to bed at 8.00 p.m. that if that happens again and then we have a 3 hr transfer that we are taking a taxi to Arillas. That has got to be the only down side for Arillas I am thinking.
