Heathrow to Paphos
Trying to book for next year but flights stop in October this year. Does anyone know if they will be reinstated for 2023? Thanks.

Its hard to keep track over what was historically Gatwick and what was a Heathrow route. My understanding os Paphos was only moved to Heathrow over the pendemic in order to protect lucrative slots for when travel comes back up again.
I suspect Paphos will return to Gatwick operated by the Euroflyer contracted workforce. Euroflyer are yet to announce their operating schedule for Summer 2023. Anticipate schedules being firmed up for travel next Summer in the next month or so.

This is all a long time away... I'd wait until the LGW summer schedule is confirmed... there may well be EDI-LGW, otherwise if you don't want the airport shuffle take a flight down on easyJet ?

Just to clarify, I need 200 tier points after February next year to retain Silver. CE flights from EDI via LHR to PFO will get me that, using Easyjet to LGW won't. I have preferred accommodation and car hire in PFO, which I have used for many years, so that is what is behind the question. Thanks for the suggestions.

I looked into this, the connections are horrible, requiring an overnight on the return, followed by transfer to LHR or LCY. I'll wait till early next year and see what's available. Thanks all for the suggestions. I appreciate your time.

They’re certainly getting closer to releasing the schedule as I noticed last week that they’d added Sat/Sun flights for Nov 2022 and Feb/Mar 2023. Not sure if this is an error or not as they haven’t flown to PFO during these months in a long time so they might disappear. If they are correct, at least things are moving and we may well see the Summer schedule fairly soon.
