Cosmos/Monarch

Apparently Cosmos/Monarch are including Thassos in their 2014 brochures/schedule flying to Kavala. Let's hope that it gives Thomson the competition they need!!

hi, dont see it on their on line brochure for 2014. regards, vinnie

It should be there early October according to this website:

Could be interesting.

Very interesting. And hopefully cheaper than Thomson.

Hi I have just returned from Thassos and Cosmos are going there next season, there will be a flight from Gatwick and Birmingham STILL nothing for the South West/Wales!!!!!!!!!!!!
The flights I have been told from Cosmos will be double drops Skiathos
/Kavala and they will not be using Thomsons flights.
It will be up on their website in the next couple of weeks.

[Tigerlily]

Thanks BigAl

Will keep my eyes peeled.

I hope they include the transfer (bus/ferry) in their prices like Thomson do and Olympic DON'T!!!It's hard to compare prices when you don't get the same basic package don't you think?

[BigAl]

Hi Daza

I don't think for one moment that they won't, especially if they are using their own aeroplanes, anyway we will be able to see in a couple of weeks when all the details are up on cosmos website.
Thassos is coming up on Cosmos/Monarch website and giving Limenas, Golden Beach, Limenaria & Potos as destinations no other details available at the moment.

[Daza]

I've had a peek and yes Thassos is there but (and maybe it's my pc but) the calendar doesn't seem to be working!!!- I can't select a date (even for non Thassos options). Anyway - it's still BHX and LGW so from here in sunny Nottingham there is no benefit airportwise. Just hope the prices sway me in their directioin then.

[BigAl]

LGW & BHX is what I was told when I rang Cosmos, like you it's a pain living down yer in Devon, Bristol would be a good airport from the South West as it would serve all of the Westcountry and Wales, I meet a lot of folk from my area when I am on Thassos and I'm sure you would fill a flight.

[Tigerlily]

BigAl, yes Bristol would definitely be better for me too. It's only 30 miles away.

Thomson are meant to be flying from Bristol next year

This has been mentioned before and at one point holidays to Thassos from Bristol were on the website. I know because I saw them, but then they disappeared

Yes they were originally going to fly out of Bristol for 2014 but then changed their minds and put on a Thursday flight from Gatwick (if you try a one way flight from Kavala the website still comes up with Bristol as one of four airports in the uk) Have heard a whisper that Bristol is possibly going to be on for 2015.
I also see that cosmos has now listed some resorts & hotels on the island but no flight details or prices as of yet.

[Tigerlily]

Tigerman, so basically we just need to keep watching for that Bristol flight to come up

I was having a nosey at the Cosmos website yesterday and noticed that some for of their flights (I'm not sure if this all) they use Small Planet airlines. This company has quite a bad reputation for having old aircraft and often having long delays.
