Holiday Companies / Re: Manchester to Heraklion - Germania
« on: October 17, 2014, 08:56:41 PM »
Hi Arnaki, we did the old hiding in full view trick and stayed by the pool on the 30th and Les never saw us. When we returned home on the 7th Oct it was a relatively quick (2 hour) transfer to Chania. The airport was very laid back and stress free compared to Heraklion and we departed on time. As we took of they announced that there was no catering service onboard, apparently the flight out from Manchester had been delayed so Small Planet sent a plane empty from Poland to ensure we got back to Manchester on time ?. First time I have ever heard of anything like this but it saved us being delayed by an hour or two.

Hi Ian yes it looks like more of the same for tomorrow, it does make for a cosy atmosphere when eating though with everybody squeezing inside

Its been a few years since I was at Chania airport but it always seemed less crowded and more relaxing (imo). The last time we were there I seem to remember that they were asking for about every 10th case to be opened as it went through the scanner, (probably to help pass the time away.) I think Rethymon is about half way between the two airports so similar time for coach transfer, there will probably be a shorter route over the mountains by car/taxi.

Have just received the tickets for our flight from Manchester to Heraklion with Germania and it appears that we are now flying home from Chania with Small Planet. They have also added an additional 4 tickets which appear to say that after 7 days we fly back to Manchester with Germania then get on a Small Planet plane back to Chania to continue our second week.
Has anybody else had this interesting flight amendment.

Ha well soon to be in Plakias and all will be forgotten.

Thanks Arnaki, I will keep on checking the Tuesday depts for the next couple off weeks and look for our tickets on the Olympic site. Since seeing your mail I have looked on the webcam and can see the trees being blown around, at least you should be able to get a cool breeze through your room overnight.

Does any one have a further update on the flight time for the Germania flight ST3594 from Manchester, we are due out on 23rd Sept and were also advised of a time change to 06:50. But looking at the Manchester departure board and the Germania web page the last few weeks it is due to leave at 08:00 and is leaving within 20 minutes of that time.
Thanks for any info you can offer.

Hi first posting but a regular reader over the years and a regular visitor to Plakias mainly Costas. Just back from our other favourite island Lesbos and the resort of Skala Kalloni, first trip back for 4 years but it was definitely cheaper than then, evening meal at a taverna in the square consisting of 2 starters with free ouzo, 2 main courses, 1/2 kg of wine and a bottle of water averaged around 22 euros, even when my wife had fresh fish it only came to 30 euros. When we went along the coast to Parikila it was even cheaper. We hired bicycles regularly at 5 euros a day, or 3 days for 12 euros and they where always new bikes. Still we are looking forward to our return to Costas in September.
