It was reported on 3 March that "Smart Connect", part of airline Germanwings, will offer three more services to customers flying to Corfu - at unbeatable prices and minimum transit time.
Supposedly available from March-October 2009, the flights will connect with Dresden (DRS), Berlin Schoenfeld (SXF) and London Stansted (STN).
Anyone care to check it out?

Having put in dates through March, April, the first flight offered was on at the beginning of May (normal season start up). Stansted to Corfu.
Dep Stansted @ 0805, 9th May Arr Cologne-Bonn @ 1025 Dep Cologne-Bonn @ 1225 Arr Corfu @ 1555
Dep Corfu @ 1005, 16th May Arr Cologne-Bonn @ 1150 Dep Cologne-Bonn @ 1425 Arr Stansted @ 1440
You have to pay for baggage at £4 each way, and there is facilities on line to choose your seat, and for extra baggage if you wish.
Cost for the May flight in total is £269.70 return per adult.
July cost is £333.20 return per adult.

Thanks Chris - and a little trip to Cologne thrown in for good measure! I guess that it is a seamless operation as baggage loaded at Stansted will re-appear in Corfu and you get a couple of hours to stretch your legs and get a coffee. Could be a serious option.

It certainly seems another option. Looking again, they have flights from Edinburgh, but sadly not direct to Corfu. One can fly to Cologne-Bonn, then take another flight, but it is an overnight wait.
An example would be;
Dep Edinburgh @ 1205 (6th July) Arr Cologne-Bonn @ 1505 Dep Cologne-Bonn @ 0600 (7th July) Arr Corfu @ 0930
Dep Corfu @ 1005 (14th July) Arr Cologne-Bonn @ 1150 Dep Cologne-Bonn @ 1050 (15th July) Arr Edinburgh @ 1135
Not only is this an over night stop both ways, outbound not too bad, but 24 hours on return journey. The cost even with basic costs is £492.08 for this flight, return per person.
Yeiamas, Chris
