Searching for flights in mid November, I'm sent the option for an outbound flight on boxing day, and a return on 23rd November. What's the use of that - but the system does at least tell me all the flights have sold out. I then try moving forward to January and February 2010, and I get nothing. So is this route still going - looks like there are a few flights to Athens operating on an a charter basis with seats being sold to the public, but it doesn't seem to be the twice weekly route as originally marketing. No surprises here. Well, it looks like this route has lasted 6 months so far, but only on a limited basis.
