I was merely making the point that I'd flown the route and utilised the product and a damn fine product it was, alas I note that Cyprus Airways has since gone narrow body which does take the shine of it somewhat.
I would say that CY are on a par with BA and LH but I've flown with all three and I'd say that CY are better than BA and LH.
I also flew STN/ODS/STN (via BUD) with MALEV Hungarian, another thoroughly enjoyable product (particularly on the F70's) whilst avoiding the nightmare that some might call Heathrow, and I wouldn't like to see another quality product go the same way as MALEV Hungarian went.
I'm not interested in squabbles between London, indeed Essex, airports, I've worked at STN twice during my career and I can't stand the place, but talking as a passenger of both MALEV Hungarian and Cyprus Airways, from/to STN, all three provided the service for me.
