THE API FORM 2011

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

Passenger duty

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…

Bikers Beware

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!

In future then tourists will be required to have a separate motorcycle license from their home countries. The reason for the crackdown? Foreign visitors have been injuring themselves at an increasing rate as alcohol and inexperience combine to take their…

A Sad Day-- The Loss of a Great Fop-- Rest in Peace Mick

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  

 

Mick Richards ---Rest in Peace --- Sorely Missed by all whose lives He touched

.Thanks to Kyriakos for getting the flowers from us all.

Mick Richards Funeral will be held in Lardos Church on Wednesday the 25th January at 2 pm 

 Mick Richards 10th November 1941 - 19th January 2012

first time!!

Hi,everyone. This will be our first time to Pefkos this year (september). I am travelling with my two children 12 and 7. This is their first holiday abroad and I want it to be special for them. I am a bit wary having never travelled this far alone with them before and really just wanted some advice about things to do places to go kind of thing. We are staying at the pefki islands resort. I'm very excited and a bit nervous!!

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.

YAMMAS Sue xx

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

Greek Travel News

An enduring mystery

SELDOM elsewhere in Greece are the diverse layers of history that have accumulated in this ancient land more apparent today - or more frustrating for archaeologists - than they are in and around the Old City of Chania, in northwestern Crete.

Inhabited since at least the late Neolithic period some 5,000 years ago, Chania - ancient Kydonia - was one of the five main Minoan centres of Crete in the Late Bronze Age during the second half of the 2nd millennium (...)

First cruise ship of the year docks in Piraeus

The arrival of a 293-meter-long cruise ship at the port of Piraeus on Tuesday has opened this year’s cruise season.

The MSC Magnifica, a 293-meter-long vessel was built in France in 2010, features 17 decks. It can host up to 3,200 passengers and 1,100 crew members.

The vessel also has a theatre, sports facilities and a specially designed retractable roof, making it ideal for winter cruises.

Quadrantids, the first meteor shower of 2012

It what promises to be a brief but spectacular cosmic fireworks display, a Quadrantid meteor shower will kick off a new stargazing year in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday.

Unlike most of the meteor displays in 2011, which were washed out by a bright moon, the Quadrantids are anticipated to put on a spectacular show without lunar interference, thanks to a waxing gibbous moon.

Walls, towers and fortresses in rural Attica

Attica’s rural landscape is dotted with the fascinating remains of ancient military installations, ranging from massive fortresses and lesser walled camps to single watchtowers, signalling posts and temporary fieldworks. Most of these strategic facilities belonged to Athens, but others were established by the city’s allies or enemies.

January, a dull day in Pefkos

Posted by John Manuel on January 29, 2012 at 6:00pm 4 Comments

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...…
