Quoting Cwldude (Reply 6): Wow! Wasn't really expecting to see JMK there! Good news though, only served direct once weekly by both AEU and XLA on a Friday!
Actually Cwldude, not quite correct unless you are talking about LGW-JMK flights only.
XLA also fly from MAN to JMK.
Overall great news for Greece from BA / GB. Now scheduled services to ATH, SKG, HER, RHO, CFU and JMK !!!
However am still surprised that they chose JMK before JTR which has charters from LGW, MAN, BHX, NCL and EMA, so more traffic from UK to JTR than to JMK ???

However the JTR market seems to be pretty much sewn up by a couple of tour operators, so may be less scope to grow the market.
Mykonos is better placed for linking to other Aegean islands than Santorini as a destination.
