Hi,

Well 2 weeks ago I booked exactly the same flight, Athens to Paros and I did
notice the site issue. However I must admit to going ahead. The tickets
turned up 3 days later. I suppose it is not much worse than giving your
details over the phone and a lot better than using a mobile.

Regards,

Stuart Hudson

I used the Olympic website to book last year, and never noticed this.

What I did was booked flights from the UK to Athens and v.v. and connecting
flights to/from the islands (Paros going out and Mykonos coming back). Doing
it this way, the flights to the islands cost little extra, and Olympic were
cheaper than most other airlines (easyjet wasn't convenient). Also, you can
check the luggage straight through and, presumably, if you missed the
connection (which I didn't) I would hope that Olympic would get me there.
