We went to Icmeler for a month last year, decided to take sun lotion to cover the whole time we where there, was I sorry, we were charged £40 at the air port, so be careful weigh luggage if you can before you go.

i carry a small set of fishing scales with me in my camera bag , cost around a fiver in an ironmongers ,and the best fiver i ever spent, you can weigh your own luggage before you leave your hotel ,and you have no worries about x/s baggage

Just got back on Thursday.. Coach late picking us up so it was pretty much of a rush going through the airport.. Had two cases to check in and i could hardly lift 'em.. ( my missus likes her shopping ).. and i' m a big strong boy.!!! I was a bit concerned but the girl behind the check in didn't seem too bothered... she just tagged 'em and sent 'em through.!!
One other thing though.. it's a bit pricey at the airport.. Some one told me they paid 4.5 YTL for a small bottle of water which only cost 50 cents in town.!!!
I got the hotel to knock me up a couple of sandwiches to eat at the airport cos i know how expensive it can be... trouble was we were rushed that much we didn't get time to eat 'em..they came home with me and i fed 'em to the birds in the garden next day.. ( they were a bit ripe by then.!! ).

I always take part-used toiletries and dump them! Cheaper than paying excess charges.

one of my friends had bought a lot of stuff in malaysia - and was 10 kilos over, the girl on check in said "did they let you check in with all this in heathrow then?" he replied yes and she let him through!!

when the new terminal opens at dalaman things will be more strick the airlines with the extra cost of fuel are now clamping down on e/x baggage
and now ba are flying there they are doing random searches even after you have been through the scanners just to check better safe than sorry i say

I came back last Monday and they didnt seem to be weighing any cases in our queue.It was 12 midday so airport was busy.We were with Excel airlines and had a 20kg baggage allowance even though it was a late deal.There were a few empty seats on the plane so maybe the checkin staff are more strict if plane is full.

I`m a bit chubby! hope there going to stop me from flying home!! he he he he he

British Passenger Plane Runs Off Runway At Dalaman Airport

Scary! Even worse Cardiff is now in England!!

Needless to say, even though I'm on a Portland holiday and was hoping for a Thomsonfly plane, I'm going on a Mytravel one. Think its due to the flight consolidations that have gone on as booking to Turkey are down.

Just had to add this - don't purchase food or drink at Dalaman Airport !

Stock up on your coach transfer for water - it's way cheaper. 3 cans of coke in the airport was 23 Lira..........nearly a tenner in Sterling.

I didn't purchase

Does anyone have the web address or link to Dalaman Airport site.
Thank you
