published on 15.04.2011This summer it’ll be even easier to get away to Greek and Turkish shores with a number of airlines expanding their UK to Eastern Med route maps to meet demand.
New flights and routes include:
Monarch
Monarch adds new flights to Corfu and Bodrum, starting May, and the airline has already expanded its number of services to European destinations this year.
