Hi everyone,
eg. Last minute deal to Kavos [£150 - £220].
Would there be a problem if I booked this, but on arrival to Corfu just got a taxi to Arillas and stayed there.
It is a way to get a cheap flight.
Not sure if the travel agent I booked it with would be impressed.
Would it affect my flight back.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
John
Hi John
I have often thought about doing this. Im sure there wont be a prob as long as you inform the airport rep that you dont intend staying at the accomm. That way they wont be waiting for you on the coach. Also, the apt owners wont incurr costs such as cleaning etc.. Hey, its Credit crunch times, we need to get to Arillas by any means! :-) go for it!!
I have done this several times in the past without any problem - particulalrly in October when there are some good deals around. Works out much cheaper than just a flight. As Jo says, just let the rep know when you get to Corfu - and turn up at the appointed time for the return flight. It's no skin off their nose - less people to deal with!
It depends on how good the reps are.
We always have a hire car from the Airport and tell the reps on arrival not to be looking for us for the coach transfer either way.
This year at some ungodly hour there was a knocking on the door.
The coach had spent about twenty minutes making its way to Arillas just to pick us up and had been waiting for ten.
So we hadn't been on the original transfer and not seen a rep for the two weeks in Arillas . Now we had caused them a problem by not standing in the middle of the road for half the night.
( Another Victor Meldrew moment )
Victor it was their problem.
BTW we already have a Margaret on here. I think she has kids called Chris and Mark. Well that's her monicker. You will never take up that position mate it is spoken for .... Prove me right Margaret "I do not BELIEVE IT!!!"
lmao as usual

Lol ))
Yes I know I have been out Meldrewd.
I just can't get the thought out of my mind.
Some poor Rep. Banging on a door in Kavos when you don't turn up for the coach. !!
Then You are at the Airport for your flight.
Surreal
Must give it a try one year.
