Update 23 February 2011
As ever, for UK birders there are two different routes and several different carriers to choose from for your flight out to Lesvos.
DIRECT CHARTER FLIGHTS
Fly direct from Gatwick or Manchester by charter flight with Thomson/First Choice.
Last year was a bit of a debacle with flight only deals hard to come by at a reasonable price. The first flight of the season (15 April) was cancelled (again), so I would strongly advise anyone wishing to travel to Lesvos before 21 April this year to use the Athens route (below).
As at 09 Feb 11 I've been Thomson have lowered there prices, e.g. c.£229 (+ add ons such as suitcase at £25 each) from Manchester departing 14 April. I've also been told that the 14 April outbound flight only has 9 seats left. I don't know about prices for other departure dates. If you do, then please let me know and we can share with others.
Book Thomsonfly flights online or via your local travel agent.
