Airflights just act as an agent and offer flights from many different airlines. So it isn't a case of when they offer 2012 flights, they will only offer them when airlines release them. They are offering 2012 flights currently,in common with other websites such as Travelrepublic.
Aegean are different in that they are an agent for Onur Air, so when Onur Air release the flights they are available on Aegean Flights website. The time to get the bargains are in the first day or two that they are released. It is undoubtedly possible to get some good priced flights if you get in very quickly, but once the first blocks of seat are sold the prices rise considerably.

Thanks for the reply Alfie, its just that at the moment Airflights who also sell Onur air flights from Bournemouth have return flights for July 2012 to Dalaman for over £400 each. I bought flights with them in september2009 for my 2010 holiday at less than half of that, so maybe i will wait until the end of the summer. I could not get cheap flights with Aegean for next year due to the computer fiasco, by the time the website was back to normal the prices had already started to rise. Maybe its time to return to package holidays after a few years of booking independently.

It's true that timing can make a huge difference. If you look now at this years September 2011 flights - well this was when I looked last week from Gatwick - there were flights for about £160.
We usually book our flights with Easyjet when they come out in the autumn, again if you are able to get in quick you get a really good price, we've also managed to get Stansted day flights for this summer which is brilliant for us. I should think that you face the same difficulties if you are limited to Bournemouth. We usually go from Gatwick to get the best prices and times, but would rather not have to tackle the M25! Luckily for us this year we don't have to. I am sure you are right about the Onur air prices going down later in the year.

Hi Guys. Just looking for a bit of advice. We are looking to book a holiday to Turkey in the next couple of weeks. Has anyone used airflights.co.uk before.

I think we have, but not in the last couple of years. I take it you have read their legal blurb:

Can't see any reason why there should be any more problem with them than any other of the on line agencies who offer flights/holidays.
They are members of the usual ABTA etc. and they make a point of advising about protection they offer should an budget airline go bust.

We tend to use whoever has the best deals, although might not be too keen on a new name that I haven't heard of before, but they have been around a good few years.
