Please help-Flights to uk from cyprus

mummyfleming

Hey, wondering if anyone can help.
Ive been in cyprus for nearly a month.
Ive just recieved some news from uk and want to get back to support mum asap.
I know there is a flight on Wed to brize.
Its not a family member so I know it will not be a compassionate flight.
Does anyone know if I'll be able to get on it?
I have been told I have to wait a month to put an endulgance request in.
Any help will be great.
Thanks
xx

First off you will need the support of your line manager. If you have a good relationship with them (albeit possibly fledgeling) they may be able to assist.

There is three levels of compassionate so you never know it might be an entitlement. No harm in asking the worst they can do is say no.

Falling that, once leave has been approved im not 100% sure who would make you booking. The trooping flights do tend to be somewhat full so there is not always seats available at short notice. Speak to admin either that or look at civi flights (if short notice is required)

But I would advise inform someone at work, they may be able to assist or point you in the right direction...equally they might say no change which may be bad news but would help in the long run if it stops you getting your hopes up.

Good luck with it.

I have just booked a flight with easy jet for £61 from Pafos to UK (inc taxes but not including a hold bag). Try skyscanner or flight warehouse if you can't get on the trooper.

Although I am not in Cyprus at the mo, in my experience waiting to see if there was a space on the trooper was the most stressful experience... I recently got flights for £48+taxes for Luton-Paphos with easy jet, but I did book along way in advance. A word of warning, I never once got a return flight on the trooper, I always had to get a civvy flight back.

Good luck
