Flights
Our favourite airline was British Airways. This service is currently operated by GB Airways who have recently been sold to Easyjet. Flights to Paphos will still be operated under the British Airways banner until the end of March 2008. After this date the schedule will be operated by Easyjet.
Easyjet will fly direct to Paphos from Gatwick 7 days a week, and from Manchester 4 days a week until the end of October. When booking well in advance their prices are very good.
However, from July British Airways will be reintroducing their own flights to Paphos. They will be flying from Gatwick 7 days a week. Their prices are also very reasonable - often cheaper than most other airlines, including charters. Their flights are comfortable, pleasant, and of the standard one would expect from a first class airline. We have used BA for our own return flights to Paphos for many years, and they have always been punctual.
For flights from other airports, or if you prefer charters, we recommend Thomsonfly. Again, we have flown with them on many occasions and they have always proven to also be very reliable. Thomson offer flights to Paphos from Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, Bournemouth, Exeter, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, East Midlands, Norwich, Newcastle, Glasgow, Bristol and Doncaster.
