Only been Zante once and it was quite small then (1991), but Corfu has always been a bugger. They used to wait until they had several flights in and then unload the luggage consequently it was mayhem in the luggage reclaim, and it was always v.v. busy in the summer. Its a few years since I last went so it may be better now.
I haven't been to Zante for about 5 years but they could only hold 6 planes on the ground at any one time so all planes are subject to big delays (we got a nice letter explaining this when we got to airport to fly out there) and when you landed there was only one carousel (sp?) so people were stood about 3 deep all the way round trying to find their bag, one rep just opened the side doors and let a whole plane load raid the trolleys to find their own bags
On the way back you queued in the sun for about an hour to get inside to check in then went back outside for another hour to queue to go through to the gate as there wasn't enough room inside the airport for everyone so they just made queues take a long time so you had be outside
