I have to agree with Martyn on this one, we have flown plenty of times from Luton but they have always been charter flights not scheduled..and I'm sure I would of seen if easyjet were flying from Luton to Corfu because thats the first airport I key in when booking our flights to Corfu just on the off chance easyjet may have added Luton..
Anyway I enquired about changing our flights from Gatwick to Luton and easyjet want £258 for three of us for the privilege..so it will be from Gatwick next year and hopefully easyjet will still be flying from Luton next time I book for Corfu.
And like Martyn..I only have to stand on tiptoes to see Luton Airport from our house...If I had waited 8 more days I could have been flying from Luton £20 cheaper. but never mind the most important thing is we are going to Corfu.

We have to drive around the airport to get to the terminal, which is just soooo annoying We iive to the south of the airport, a friends house is virtually next to the runway (western end) and another friend farms the land along the southern boundary - parking could be so much easier...

You have got to admire some of the members on this site for the distances they are prepared to travel to a UK airport which could be hundreds of miles away from their homes...for a two weeks holiday in Corfu, now thats what I call love and dedication to Corfu.

There is absolutely no doubt at all that Easyjet used to fly from Luton - but it is possible that it was to Athens and not Corfu. We used to prefer Luton over Gatwick because it is closer to Yorkshire, but it may well be winter flights I am recalling which would have been to Athens with an onward connection to Corfu.

Thanks everyone for indulging me and getting my brain cells into gear,
I definitely remember flying from Luton, but, now my jaded memory has been jogged, I'm not sure if we flew Luton to Athens and then continued our journey with Aegean---or was that Gatwick to Athens?
Hand on heart I can't remember, sorry Nigel, in future I'll take your word on the the things that you know more about than me, that's my very best grovel

Luton/Athens has been availble for a long time - it's just that we have hardly ever used it because it was more efficient and cheaper to fly Olymic or Aegean on a through ticket.

Mrs Mushy - no problem I'm off next Thursday morning (from Gatwick) returning to the UK on Sunday night. I would love to go for longer, but work is getting in the way
