Evening all

Looking to go to Paphos in the Summer. As I live in Jersey, I always like to book with one airline if I can. The only routing that I can find is BA to LGW then GB Airlines to Paphos. I can book the whole trip on BAs web site so am I correct in assuming that if I was delayed out of JER that I would be rebooked on the next available flight to Paphos at no additional charge? Also as I think GB Airways flies in BA colours, do they provide the full service of drinks and food that BA themselves do?

Any comments appreciated

Thanks

If your booking is all on one ticket then you'll be booked onto the next possible flight should you be delayed in getting to LGW. What times are you looking to fly? I'll let you know how realistic your connection is.

GB Airways fly in BA colours, wear BA uniforms, install BA seats, serve BA food, use BA check-in. You won't notice a difference except a little logo on the nose of the aeroplane and the odd couple of extra words in the onboard PAs.

Many people actually say that GB's on-board service is better than mainline BA's too.

Hi

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Our outbound leaves JER @ 10:20 and gets to LGW at 11:20. The onward to Paphos is around 14:30 from LGW. On the return we get to LGW about 00:30 and our flight to JER is around 12:00.

Regards

That's loads of time. Connecting in the North terminal is fairly easy and the domestic gates JER flights use are pretty central so there isn't too much walking (assuming you don't end up on a remote stand and get stuck on a bus).

Will you be staying in a hotel overnight on the return? You might have to collect your bags on arrival from PFO and then check them in again the next morning. I'm not 100% sure about that though.

Used GB to Funchal,was in CE with Mrs PG and the service was cracking, beat BA mainline into a cocked hat, however BMed the other BA franchise were awful when I used them.
