Both outbound and return on time. Crew not as stuffy as BA crews and return flight had a continous 'in' joke with the crew/cockpit that was amusing for the passengers. The jovial atmosphere seemed a bit strange as one of their collegues had died three days before on the same flight/route.
Meals were pay as you go and the 6 curry was very tasty although possibly not hot(spicy) enough for some. Outbound approach into Paphos was very Kai Tak which I am not sure is usual, but we arrived safely. I had emailed our hotel only two days before looking for a cheeky upgrade only to be told that the hotel was not open and 'who had we made reservations with?' I contacted our travel agent (who was excellent and gave good prices - PM me for details)and she sorted a new (better)hotel within 3 hours with usual appologies etc.
We found Cypus to be very good at this time of year with good restaurants, although Paphos was tacky. Inland/Troodos mountains were superb with spring flowers and cherry blossom covering the valleys and slopes. Snow was still evident in the higher reaches but 70s at the coast.
7 St. Georges Tavern gave an exceptional mezze using all organic produce where they bring dish after dish until you tell them to stop. We had at least 12 courses and 3 litres of wine for 100 euros (4 people). Family run and very friendly. In my opinion,Cyprus is worth a visit for a winter break.

Just remembered that an EOS jet was at MAN on 27/2. Don`t know why. It was at terminal 3.

Hi Paul, thanks for the TR, being a foodie I love hearing about great restaurants. My parents leave for Cyprus tomorrow and as I've never been this early in the year I wondered if it gets cold in the evening?

Hello Jacki,sorry if this is too late.
It was warm during the day(hot in the sun)and cool at night. We found a light jacket or sweater to be fine at night.
