Date of Travel: Aug 2007 Flying from: Manchester Airport Flying to: Larnaca Airport Class: Economy Recommended: No Submitted By: Carl Bolton Comments: Be Aware Cyprus Airways will under no circumstances change the name of a passenger on a flight ticket (Company Policy). They will allow you to cancel the ticket you have paid for in full and then sell you another ticket at full price therefore selling the seat twice. I will never travel with RIP-OFF airline again.

The ticket price was good, depending on what time of the year you visit Cyprus.
Overall a good airline.
As for Larnaca airport, you have to remember that this airport was built in a hurry just after the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, The old Nicosia international airport is now a united nations base.
The airports in the occupied north of Cyprus are not recognised by the international air traffic authorities. So there are no direct flights there.
Date of Travel: Jun 2007 Flying from: Birmingham International Airport Flying to: Larnaca Airport Class: Economy Recommended: Yes Submitted By: Mal Comments: Although we were delayed, we took off quite quickly once the pilot was given a space. The pilot kept us informed the whole time. The plane was clean with plenty of room. All food, drinks and headphones were free. Staff very helpful and friendly. Inflight meal was good and plentiful. We booked our flight last October for June, so the flight price was very reasonable. In fact the cheapest, day time flights too.
Date of Travel: Apr 2007 Flying from: London Stansted Airport Flying to: London Heathrow Airport Class: Economy Recommended: Yes Submitted By: Melanie Butler Comments: The most expensive airline apart from BA going into Cyprus, a total monopoly on the ground space at all airports in Cyprus and the worst service ever. Cancellations, delays, rude staff - not being kept informed and not cheap.

I found the staff were great food was good and plenty of room. It was the best flight I have ever done. Yeah was a bit more expensive to other tour operators but then you get what you pay for.
