    Which companies do them? I have serious difficulty finding it :(
    Is there any website for searching charter flights from Dublin?

    Charter flights to Greece from Dublin: Zakynthos, Rhodes, Kos, Heraklion and Corfu.

    They are all chartered by Falcon Holidays: http://www.falconholidays.ie/
    You can book flights only with them: http://www.falconholidays.ie/f/deals/flight-only

    Scheduled flights to Greece from Dublin: Athens (Aegean Airlines, Aer Lingus, Ryanair), Chania (Ryanair), Corfu (Aer Lingus)

    Wikipedia is the best for finding both scheduled and charter destinations from any airport.

    I love going to Greece, get there evey year (Zakynthos mostly) and am so pissed off that the only charter flights from Dublin are by Thomas Crook (Falcon), they have the monopoly so it's rare you'll get a return flight for less than 400Euro.

    I really can't understand why Ryanair can't just take 1 plane and service all of the Greek Islands from Dublin, 2 return flights a day to various islands, they'd make a killing.

    If you really want to cut costs have a look at flights from the UK and get over there, you can knock off more than 100euro per person

    They're operated by Thomson Airways not Thomas Cook.

    Aegean Airlines may have connection options to Zakynthos via Athens as they are flying to Dublin from next June.

    i think you missed my point, if i wanted it a bit cheaper i could fly to the UK and go to the Greek Islands from there, i was saying that only Falcon have the monopoly on Greek Island flights and charge upwards of 400euro return, and IIRC they only serve 4 of the island.

    Ryanair certainly would make them think twice of prices, 1 plane a week is all thats needed, damn, not even a week, 5 days, 2 rtn flights a day and that could be 7 islands covered

    Agreed, 400€ is out of my budget, it's a pity there isnt anything decent from belfast either. Love Greek islands but now when i have a kid it's very difficult for me to get there (before was going either through the UK or Athens)
