So that is Pula in Croatia, Costa De La Luz, Poros Island, Aegina Island via Athens Airport and Leros Island via Kos airport. Passengers traveling from the airport now have the convenience of being able to travel through security with liquids in containers of up to two litres following the restriction changes, so this just really helps us process passengers quickly and efficiently and gets them on their way to their summer holidays.
