That aside, do the check in staff give out any vouchers in these circumstances? I thought I'd read something like this elsewhere, maybe LCY? We're travelling HBO (just to avoid any baggage issues) so wouldn't approach the check in desk unless there was a need.

No great loss if there isn't. Would be good to get a cool drink and snack as we'll be out driving most of the day after taking the ferry over from neighbouring Ithaca and will be doing some sightseeing on Kef before heading to the airport. I'm sure we'll get a delightfully filling meal on the flight back...
Hi dddc,

We have become quite the Kefalonia fans, in the last couple of years.

No Lounges BUT our usual MO is drop the bags, walk out the airport, across the small carpark, go to the Ikarus Taverna at the Airport Gate, great food, great prices and runway views, set off from Ikarus as your Aircraft lands, by the time you have cleared security & passports, you'll walk straight onboard.
