Taken December 2003 from Saloniki - SKG to London, Stansted - STN

I fly on this route quite frequently- I live in Leicester and Stansted is the only major airport for which a direct train is available.

As a matter of fact, CSA are the only airline to offer this particular route. I could choose Swiss or KLM to BHX, but CSA are light years ahead of the competition- convenient timetables allowing for short connections, flights always on time, food not bad at all (could still be better though!) and very efficient hub in Prague that also boasts terrific value duty free shops (compare that to Schiphol!!).

Add cheap fares (especially when purchased a few months in advance) and one of the best Frequent Flier Programmes (you only need to do 15 segments a year for a silver card that gives you access to the lounge in Prague and unlimited free business upgrades!!), and you have a package that's nearly impossible to beat!

The only thing that I am not happy with is third party handling agents- they seem to be hand-picking the worst in the business! Facilities in Ruzyne are pretty good, though. As most airlines, food and legroom in Economy could be better.
