Corfu Airport

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.
