east midlands as its only 15 mins away or birmingham as a last resort
East Midlands as it a quiet airport and parking is easy & cheap...Manchester second..
Rigger If it isn't a rude question do you (or anyone) know the price differences between these airports....
Glasgow
Gatwick for me
Newcastle for us, dead easy straight up the A1 at 4o'clock in the morning.
Karen

Yammas
Dave n Anne
Don't know if this poll is still going, but we would go from Stansted if we could get a flight from there. Luton would be second. (We live mid-way between them).
Unfortunately all we can get is Gatwick, which is where we are going from again this year. We did consider Easyjet from Bristol as it's much cheaper than Easyjet Gatwick and the flight is at a more convenient time, but couldn't face the possibility of getting held up getting there and missing our flight. We are now flying Monarch.
East Midlands because they still have a smoking area for Denise!!!
Well, if this poll is still going, Colin dearest, we have now both voted! :D Does it count double?? ;)
lynn xx
Durham/Tees Valley (Ex Teesside Airport ) is rubbish !
Only a few destinations and none of em I want to go to.
Never flew from there in my life.
Newcastle twice.
Manchester loads of times.
E/Midlands once.
Leed's Bradford once.
Hi Folk
Have just found this thread - don't know how I missed it. Julia and I have travelled to Corfu as follows:-
September 1970 - Heathrow
May 2003 - Humberside
October 2004 - Humberside
June 2007 - East Midlands
May 2008 - East Midlands
& next time:
September 2009 - East Midlands
We loved travelling from Humberside but Thomsons moved the flights to Doncaster. We find East Midlands OK provided we fly at times which don't coincide with traffic jams around Nottingham.
Can I have a point please for being the only one to fly to Corfu from Heathrow so far?
Best wishes
Pat
But PJ....we all did things in 1970 we wouldn't do now....didn't we??? ....
Sorry Pj, Pete and I flew from Heathrow when we went over for The big fat Greek Wedding. lol Viv
I would do it all again. And I keep trying to....
lol luvvers. I've got Arillas-fever!
normally i fly from the midlands, but now i have moved i am flying from bristol for the 1st time
Hi Folk
Sandy & Viv - if I'm not the only one to fly from Heathrow, was I the first?
Anyone visit Corfu before 1970?
Picture of yours truly trying koumquat for the first time while staying at the Club Med village at Ipsos in September 1970

Therein lies an interesting story PJ. My friend and I camped for three weeks at Dassia, I think in 1972 when we were students. We were poverty stricken and basically couldn't even afford to eat. We discovered we were camping next door to the Club Med place and one night we discovered a hole in the hedge and crawled through.....and went to dinner there. It was all self-service and nobody seemed to notice us there....so we ate there every night....then crawled back through the hole in the fence. Very nice food it was too.....Of course I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing now.....!!!
My first visit to Corfu was in 1966, but that was by boat on a school cruise. We had been meant to be going to the Holy Land but because of the war there, we were rescheduled to the Greek Islands. It was all a bit embarrassing having to walk round Corfu Town in school uniform....
Great story Sandy - not only that but you were also there in 1966.
I agree the food at Club Med was great. It was the first time I'd tried all sorts of to me exotic cuisine.
Best wishes
Pat
Sandy, O deary me, Im sorry but I have to disagree with you, wasn't it only last year that you crawled through a hole in the fence, OK so it wasn't to eat at club med but some things about you will never change and I wouldn't want them to. lol.
As for P.J.s question no I have only flown from Heathrow once sounless someone claims differant you can have the crown for that one. Viv
LOL Viv....forgot that one....also a time at junior school with the same friend....for some reason we used to crawl through the hedges into all the posh houses on the way home....and pick all the decent flowers from the gardens. But I was only about 8 then.....
So it was you !
we fly from newcastle airport.counting the days.
ppmman
i live 20mins from stansted,,,but always seem to fly from gatwick ..oh well as long as we get there..........yammas
Same here Kevin. We would fly from Stansted too, if only we could get a flight, and Luton would be our second choice as we live midway between them. However, we always seem to end up at Gatwick yet again! Stansted is about 30 mins away from us.
Colin, tis always the same. MartinW and many others from the SouthWest find themselves deciding "long journey to Gatwick or another 100 euros to spend in Arillas..." No brainer really. We fly from Gatwick in July. (That's 40 pints of Mythos!!!)
And growing up is prohibited not optional....
lol
Phil
I think it also depends on the locality of the airport to where you live ... :)
Doncaster gets my vote
Joan
x x x
I'm just off to my local airport (Southampton - alas no flights to Corfu) where I am having a quick coffee with my friend who is flying down from Edinburgh and stopping for an hour before her connecting flight to Perpignan.
Hi Phil,
Wish we could stay until you get there in July. Oh well, we may win the lottery I suppose. lol.
Anyway, I've no intention of growing up whether it's optional or not. I have more fun this way.
Tomorrow night it's Edinburgh to Gatwick for us. Then the stupid o'clock flight to Corfu...
Eileenx
But the return flight is much more sensible this year.....have fun and see you soon...xx
Exactly Colin - what's the point? Some might have been embarassed by us in Majorca this February, dancing to the tunes, drinking pints of Black Russian, living it up. But as we left on our last night there, the landlady of the pub next door to the hotel came rushing up to me, gave me a big kiss and asked when we would be back.
But the only place we can guarantee we WILL be back is you Knowhere. Life is for living, and we do...... as much as possible in Arillas.
We are also very sad we won't meet up this year at last. Sadly we can't be there in June. But we know you will all have one for us.... Enjoy!
Phil
Dublin to Gatwick, then a 9 hour wait 'til stupid o'clock flight to Corfu. Must be love !

We are flying from Newcastle. It is a nice little airport & easy to get to up The A1, although Leeds/Bradford is nearer but T Cook doesn't fly to Corfu from there.
