Runway much the same I think. Do you mean the terminal size and facilities?

When we went in May 2006, we had to queue outside the termial behind boards with our Tour Company name on and what airport we were flyng to. Apparently they only had two x ray machines there and all luggage had to be x rayed before we even checked in. According to Thompsons, they were the only tour operator working out of the Airport at the beginning of May, so it wasn't too manic. Whilst in the queue we got talking to a couple who were out in Corfu in September and they said the queues were horrendous. Whether they have corrected that by the height of the summer season I wouldn't like to say. The guys going the x raying were very officious and as helpful as a chocolate fireguard and the guy looking at what was in your luggage looked at everything, and certain people were having to open there cases to show him what he was actually looking at on the x ray machine. Once that was over, it was all plain sailing. Maybe because we went right at the beginning of the holiday season it didn't seem to chaotic, but be prepared for a lenghty queue. At least we could have a smoke while it the queue, so that kept us pacified a bit.

Judging by recent posts it seems like some of the Reps are still as rude as well ?

Dont you just love Corfu Airport !  - Always a welcome sight on arrival - but feared almost as bad as the Grim Reaper on your return .

Sometime I actually think the place is getting smaller - Oh and then there's the baggage claim joke -  If the Screens say your flight is on carrosel number 1 - then take it from me - it will be on number 2 -and vice versa !!   happens every time !!   Greek sense of humour I suppose !      SIMON

The last report I heard was that one person in five had their luggage physically searched after the X-Ray

The X-Ray machines are right at the front of the terminal so the Queues tend to tail back to the outside of the building, this gives you a last chance to catch the sun before boarding

we were first to check in last year and first to get searched

dont overpack you case, it's murder trying to get them closed again after the search and in front of the whole world LOL.....

Why do we keep going back ???? LOL

This is all sounding pretty off-putting.  Last time we went was August 2001 and it wasn't that bad then, though fairly crowded of course. Has it got worse since Twin Towers?

Yes it has. The additional security and x-raying of all baggage before check-in is a direct result of 9/11. It is a hassle even as an independant traveller but there is increased airline security all over the world now.
