Hi Folks Don't Forget To Fill In Your API Forms Before You Get To The Airport
What if API is not completed?
If passengers fail to provide all necessary information this will result in delays at both their UK departure and arrival airport and could result in denied boarding or denied entry to the destination country. It is therefore very important they are informed of this requirement.
Who is required to provide Advanced Passenger Information?
All passengers are required to provide Advanced Passenger Information. Our website is designed to collect information from all customers booking through Thomas Cook Group Tour Operators (Thomas Cook, Airtours, Sunset, Manos, Neilson, Club 18-30, Direct Holidays, Airfares, Return flights booked on Flythomascook, Flexibletrips).
Thomson, Olympic etc
The API form can only be completed between 28 days and 7 days prior to departure.
ps We have done ours over the phone with Thomson's already and we've still got 72 days to go.
Phil

UPDATE ON PASSENGER DUTY FROM THE 1ST JANUARY 2012/1ST APRIL2012 ---
From January 1, all airlines will be required to buy a ‘permit to pollute’ to cover the cost of their carbon emissions plus extra costs if they exceed their emissions limit.
The court yesterday rejected a challenge from the U.S. and other non-EU nations that the levy infringes their national sovereignty and violates international aviation…

The government-mandated crackdown on who can rent a motorcycle or, in some cases even a moped, has Greek motorcycle rental agencies turning away customers – something that does NOT come easily to a Greek business man as you can imagine!

To Those of you who have asked me about a donation towards Mick’s Funeral/Charity/Flowers I have been in touch with Chrissie and she will be having a Head Stone done for Mick, The Shallow End Bar in Lardos had a raffle and raised €500 which Chrissie is putting towards the headstone, perhaps this would be a nice way to remember Mick and show Chrissie how much we will miss Mick as well.
I am happy to co-ordinate this for Chrissie and if you would like to participate then please send cheques to me.
My email address is philjt51@hotmail.com and I will send you my address for your donation. The Pay Pal button is now working but the darn thing is at the bottom of the page, there is two of them Micks is the bottom one of the two.
Thanks
Phil

Some Latest News from Me for a change :- All done now and sorted, the Family is back to normal all changes now transferred to a Ning pay site - I have said in earlier texts that I shall pay for the family to keep together, but some of the family have asked how they can contribute towards the running of our site, so here is the donation button below.

FOP MEET AT FUSE....WHAT A NIGHT !!!!
Was a great success...we had a brilliant evening with about 50 Fopper's turning up. Fantastic to see so many and finally putting faces to names. Friendships were well and truly made by those of us that had only been 'virtual' friends!! I know some people were a bit 'unsure' (me included) about meeting everyone but for me ...it was great !!
Those of you that came THANKYOU for making it a night to remember !! I will get some piccies on as soon as I can (theres lots of them) but I do need to edit some of them hahahaha
A fantastic time was had by everybody even those that can't remember ;-)
Phil was very happy with the turnout and showed his appreciation with the Black Sambuka !!! He will add his own comments when he returns from his 'little bit of paradise' !!
Thanks to Kyriakos and his staff for brilliant service.

Please can I remind everyone that this is a family site with young children aged from less than a month to older friends who are aged closer to their 90's. Can I ask you please not to put any photos/material on that might cause offence or embarrasment to anyone. As one of the conditions of Ning is that there are no objectional material on the site (or we could be closed down) can I ask people to remove any topless photos, sorry but that is a rule that I agreed to when starting this site.
I hope that it doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the site.
Thanks
Phil
Hope these help to save a little -Phil

Today was one of those rare days when we had cloud but it didn't rain. Usually if we get clouds we get the rain, then it clears up. Today was a bit "British!" It was mainly cloudy and no rain fell. But the sea was exceptionally calm for a winter's day and so...…
