How to get to Corfu
Want to get as close to Corfu using OW 8/25-9/1 approx. AirBerlin flies there but either no award availability or very high prices.
I know I can fly to ATH on OW then fly a greek airline. What about flying to Italy or Albania (I know nothing about Albania) and then take a ferry.
Which OW airport to I fly into and how do i get to a ferry? Is it worth it compared to flying from ATH?
THANKS

Air Berlin is probably your best bet for a OW airline, as they fly there from many German and Swiss airports. None of these are OW hubs, but if you can get a flight in there, it should work.
If you like, I can move this thread to the OW forum, where the airline experts can help you with your routing. If you prefer destination-specific advice, I'll leave it here. Up to you.
