Apr 24th 2009 Flights to Northern Cyprus

It is not easy to find information on flights to North Cyprus because non of the major airlines fly there.  Another problem is that airlines that do fly there do not use the reservation systems in the same way that other airlines use them and it is not listed in many directories.Travel agents can not find any reference to North Cyprus in their manuals or booking systems.

This is because the United Nations has imposed sanctions on North Cyprus since the war with Southern Cyprus.  Despite (or may be because of) the sanctions there is a flourishing trade between UK and North Cyprus and many Britons have villas or holiday homes on the island and many now live there.

Two airlines fly from UK to North Cyprus operating 40 flights a week.  All flights have to stop in Turkey en-route which adds about an hour to the journey time but through passengers stay on the aircraft. Prices start at about £150 return but to get this price you need to book within a few days of reservations starting.  Usually the price is about £250 return low season and £350 high season. 

Another way of getting there is on Turkish Airlines but you will need to change aircraft at Istanbul. Prices are similar to the direct flights

The roads in North Cyprus are very quiet except when you get near the towns of Lefkosa (Nicosia), Girne (Kyrenia) and Magusa (Famagusta) which have all the usual traffic jams. Car Hire in North Cyprus is cheap and the prices, depending on season are between £11 and £16 per day for a car for 4 persons.  This will enable to visit the many beaches and historical sites on the island.

Apr 24th 2009 Park Sleep Fly Hotels, Take the Stress Out of Airport Parking

Traffic, suitcases, and crowding are some of the things that make airline travel such a pain.Morning flights can save you money, but it can be a pain to get there in time for check-in. So I thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice to stay at a hotel close to the airport the night before and not have to travel so far to get there early in the morning?

What about all your luggage? You’re off to vacation for a week and your wife has packed everything you need for your stay. Parking and worrying about getting to and from your car with all that luggage can put a damper on your travel and ruin the very reason for a vacation getaway.  

By taking the stress out of air travel, I arrive in a better mood. Using a Park Stay Fly Hotel w/FREE shuttle service, I get assistance with my luggage, and I can travel without the stress of wondering if where my car is parked is safe.

It’s nice to be close to the airport the night before my flight. Usually, park sleep fly packages are available near the airport with a 1 night stay and 14 days parking, which allows me to pay less than airport parking alone. With a park sleep fly package, I just check-in usually before my flight, unless my return flight is at some weird hour in the morning, then I stay the night after my flight.

I like to take the stress out traveling and leave the details to the pros.  You can check the parking fees ahead of time and see the deals available. It couldn’t be simpler. No more waiting around for someone to pick you up while you drag your luggage around.

So I wound up staying the night at the Quality Hotel Phila Airport, they had a nice parking lot separated from the normal hotel parking, and they got me to the airport on time. The van driver was courteous, he helped me with my bags, and I got also had a good night’s sleep. :)
