Hi everyone! we have booked a holiday with Olympic and are due to leave from Birmingham on 11th July, flying with Skywings.
I was just wondering if anyone else has traveled with this airline? As I haven't really heard much about them and there was a few bad reviews on tripadvisor!
Thanks

Hi I would also appreciate any info as our flight operator has now been changed from Monarch to Sky Wings airline by Olympic Holidays. I have contacted Olympic via email and my husband is awaiting a call back from their customer services, both to no avail?. There are some extremely bad reviews regarding Sky Wings airlines on Tripadvisor. One wonders why have they changed our flight operator to Sky Wings whilst still advertising/selling flights via Monarch airlines same times/flight numbers everything??? Anyone with any info I would be very grateful... Sam

I think we covered this issue a while ago, Sam. Monarch have changed their strategy and will become an airline with 80% scheduled flights. Their contract with Olympic ended quite quickly and Olympic have been trying to fill the gap by chartering various other airlines - in particular, Strategic Airlines which is Australian owned. I guess we will continue to see changes throughout 2011, but I would hope that a more predictable service will emerge next year. Olympic have supported us well by bringing tourists to Corfu earlier than other operators and I hope this glitch does not in any way affect their future services.

Hi Jacks...NOT looking forward to that... I read Tripadvisor yesterday, deary... Thinking of maybe even buying other flights... Olympic have said to my husband this morning they may have installed a contract with Monarch by the time we fly (6 weeks next monday) but I cant see it. If they no longer deal with Monarch why are they allowed to advertise flights with them still. It is blatent lies.
hope you had a great holidays Jacks, (silly question)... ;D

Actually, is your mum home yet? Trying to think when they arrived. She gave us a good laugh about the plane, anyway.... Probably not too funny, if you're travelling with them.
Had a fantastic holiday, Sam. So sad at being home. Back to work today, so that's even more depressing.
