Wednesday Nightmares
On a recent trip out of Cyprus to the UK I had no option to catch the ‘dreaded’ Wednesday flight out from Paphos Airport. After arriving in plenty of time to beat the crowds I was met with what looked like a goldfish bowl with faces pressed against the glass! No, I was not imagining it.. it was in fact departures which was rammed to capacity. I took a deep breath and dived in, and when I managed to get to check in (after about 2 hours and having my foot run over about 10 times) I then had to join the 45 minute queue for passport control. The chaos was unbelievable and as you can imagine, there were not many happy campers. If holiday companies want people to return to Cyprus they need to think about their flight schedules and the airport… well they just need to get organised.

Hi, thanks for your comments on my blog and for adding me to your blogroll. Great to see another Cyprus site - I’ll be watching yours with interest and will add it to mine when there are a few more posts.
As for airports here - yes, a nightmare. Unbelievable. And then they wonder why tourism isn’t doing so well as it used to…

Thanks for the comments Sue. If you or any of your friends or family would like to comment on any of the issues then your input would be most valued.

We have many visitors throughout the year to our house in the Sea Caves area near Paphos. Unfortunately for many of them the trip home on ‘black wednesday’ (as we now call it) is what many of them comment on. When will the airlines, tour operators and airport realise that by the time they build the new Paphos airport there won’t be any passengers left! Shortsighted planning and management all round.
