Had to do it with Thomas Cook though.just over 800 pounds for 4 of us. Not bad.
Well at least that means they are flying to Corfu next year. I'm waiting till midnight.....what month are you going Jersey steve?
just checked again and its now gone up. Do you think it will be cheaper direct with easy jet?
july 17th for 3 weeks
Who knows! A bit scary that it has gone up already!!! There seems to be no logic to the prices. I looked for the last week of the season and the prices were coming up as over £300. They are definitiely a lot more than this year but I suppose that is inevitable.
thomas cook has loads of easyjet flights starting at 160 pounds return at the moment for July and August.
Easyjet site now says Gatwick schedule released on Dec 5th at Midday.

so the question is...
book easyjet flights now with thomas cook, or gamble and book tomorrow with easyjet.Tricky? I've gone for it.
I got ants in my pants as midday today is still 6 hours away ::)
And on Gatwick there is an asterisk after it: 5th December (Midday)*
What does that mean... ???
I just looked also Erja before logging on here, and im perplexed by the asterisk lol, i bet that means 'maybe' they'll go live at Midday???!!
I thought the same last night. It seems very strange that Thomas Cook are selling the flights but not EJ itself. I looked on the TC site and prices don't seem as good as this year. I only paid £100 return in August and it's certainly going to be more than that!
Just spoke with TC, and they charter the planes from ej. she didn't know if they had all the tickets or just some.But she said its very possable that they have the whole plane?
Midday has come and gone and I still can't get into the booking site for EJ....
Are we now subject to * do you think?
Site is now saying 12.40pm......
It's here!!
:) YEEEEIII! Can't wait to get home to book!
I have now booked our flights yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Depart Gatwick Wednesday 9th September at 5.55am, arrive Corfu 11.00am
Depart Corfu Wednesday 16th September at 11.45am, arrive Gatwick 13.00pm
All for the total of £234.00, quite reasonable i thought, what do you reckon??
Nice price Smiffy and I hope they are not going up by the time I get home!
I shall keep my fingers crossed for you Erja that they stay a nice price for you when you get home!!
Have just booked for June - three weeks - £94 return. Yahoo!!
I knew today was the day and I went on to this site as soon as I got home to find out if others had managed to book. They had, and now I have ! Three weeks in August, from Gatwick £150 return. Not bad, eh ?
Don't know where I'll stay as I've always gone to Arillas Bay Apartments and in spite of all the probs there last summer I still had a great time. I had a call from Yianni in September saying Thos Cook have dropped him because of all the troubles. He's hoping to go independent so I guess I'll call him in April or May to see what's happening. Has anyone got any further news ?

We have booked with Easy Jet today got a fantasic deal for 7 of us, under £100 each return, for 15 days.
Looking forward to it already!!!!!!!
Regards all
Mandy
Well done to all, I checked my flights to compare prices, I ended up paying 4 pound more with TC.
I can live with that.But the flights seem cheaper if you go mid week.

I waited until I got home tonight to book and the price had gone up £25!!!
Never mind, return flight for £150.96 for a week, not bad at these times :)
wow. I can get all our for 750 which is a £600 saving on the best 'regular' price!! The only problem is that my boss wants a meeting with me on Monday so I am petrified to do anything just in case!! NOT that I am being negative or anything!!!!!!!
thank goodness for easyjet booked for £155 return 2 weeks in june staying at the horizon holiday seemss nearer now flights are booked.
done it!!! eek! come Monday I may be selling them again! :-)
Well done Jo!! It has to be done. Just tell your boss you had a prior engagement.....xx
And thanks to Easyjet, I have my first booking for Kouklospito for 2009!! My colleague has just booked for two weeks for himself, wife and three children - 11 to 25 August. Will you be there then Jo? He has two boys about the ages of yours but I suspect you may be going earlier in the holidays.....
Well Done Jo
Think of all the Sun Sea and Sand............ dont worry about Monday you have Arillas to look forward too
Annie
Hi All
Well done Jo, these days you never know but if you always wait till tomorrow will tomorrow ever come ? . We booked yesterday for june/july £162.80 return each . Not bad but we paid slightly less for Athens in august/september , still Arillas here we come AGAIN yyaaaaaaaa

Really good prices with easy jet.Thomson wanted £780 to fly from Norwich in June.So we booked easy jet.We can also go Sunday and come back on Sat which means we can pick our dogs up from kennels without having to take the monday off work.Cant wait.
hi all booked.
july 22nd to august 5th. marinaki here we come..
Well done all. Nice to be booked and have Arillas to look forward to! Easy Jet seem to have kept their prices reasonable, will have to look at their site myself for september.
Yammas,
Martin.
Hi All,
Me again! just looked on the easyjet site, the prices are half what I paid from Cardiff. May works out at £159. September about the same. Do these prices 'stay' or do they generally go up the nearer to the date you get? Adding £71 return for the coach still makes it a good deal.
Martin.
Book asap....the prices are more expensive today than yesterday. My daughter has had to pay £20 more for Easter than I paid yesterday.....
Thanks all! Very excited now. We arrive on July 21st and return on 3rd Aug. All fab daytime flights, getting there around 11 in the morning and leaving around 9 in the evening which is a novelty for us! We may even attempt the drive to Arillas as that will be cheaper than a taxi! Looks like we will see you at the Marinaki Katie!
So glad I booked Fri. They have gone up by around 200 in total!!
EJ now do a daytime return saving the long might at the airport we suffered this year. Hoping to make an announcement tomorrow...
Phil
I booked us on the easyjet flight from Gatwick on Friday 05/12/08 and got return flights and baggage for £81.88 each to fly May 3rd and returning May 19th 2009. And it's still not too late went back on, on Monday and booked for September 27th and returning October 20th for £96.82 each return. Great value if you put in flexible on dates and can choose the cheapest options that come up.

Looks like I shall just miss you and Ann this year John. I'm coming back on 2 May, and then back home again on 9 September......never mind, maybe one of us will fit in a little extra visit! Love to Ann.
Sorry we are going to miss you next year Sandy, but who knows what lies ahead, as Del boy would say " This time next year Rodney we could all be millionaires" and then we will spend most of the year in our little paradise.
Love John & Ann
