We used Kos this time for the first time after 20 years or so using Rhodes. Our experience returning home last Tuesday was exactly the opposite and we were quite impressed. However, Tuesday mid afternoon there are just two flights. Jet 2 to Leeds and Jet 2 to East Midlands. We were on the latter. With only two flights to cater for there was plenty of space in the gates and it all worked very well. We had been told when on Kalymnos the previous week that whilst Tuesday is fine, Thursday is a very different matter with a lot more flights fitting into the same, small, airport. It must be chaos and that's a lesson learned. We were also advised that if we did want a drink or a bite to eat to use the Costa outlet opposite the entrance adjacent to where the taxis pull in rather than the airports own outlet that has a reputation for being a bit hit and miss.
Yes, we will use Kos again but only when we can see, when booking, that it's a quiet time.
