Have to laugh when people moan about the airport now. I remember when I was a kid (30+ years ago) and it was smaller, had one luggage carousel (that often wasn't working) and no air con. Going home was always sad anyway and there were usually long delays (often thanks to the French air controllers). One highlight of the departure lounge was when my dad recognised Alex Higgins through a fog of ciggy smoke playing cards with his mates. We got him to sign a 100 dr note (which was sadly lost).

The airport is nothing like it was in 1978 you had to keep popping inside to see if your plane was next barding otherwise you would miss it. Great memories.

Gremlindog - before I returned last year I hadn't been since around 98 (having previously gone annually up to 98). I found the main improvements were that it was larger, much more organised - by Greek standards -, more/better luggage retrieval arrangements and air con.

Watching Ol'saltys video reminds me that there only used to be 1 set of traffic lights on the island and they were at either side of the runway,hence you will see the cars crossing when lights were green.........

Spent many an hour watching video clips of take offs & landings. The airport is luxury now compared to 20 years ago. lol
