No flights during the winter if you search the LBA site, and no charter flights direct during the winter from Manchester. From the Manchester Airport site, it appears the only way to go is via Istanbul Attaturk with Turkish Airlines over the winter period.

Where are you planing on jetting off to in March Del?

We're not Mike, this is for friend.
But we have booked for goa in feb. Bitez in sept. and goa in feb 2009.
enough for the time being!!
however have booked for the caravan in march in sunny withernsea plus all the bank holidays ,
i have noticed that work tends to get in the way of holidays, does any one else have this problem?

Jojouk, i will have another look at these sites but on first attempt couldn't find anything. i doubt if the friends will be willing to go via istanbul.
I know that I had heard or read that there would be charter flights this winter, but...........

Phoebe,
seemed the same to me when i looked, but will look again.
For myself I am not sure that turkey (especially gumbet) is a good idea for March.

ARE HOLIDAYS BETTER THAN SEX? well they last longer

we have booked flights in march to dalaman with aegean flights or is dalaman too far for them to travel from. have you tried flythomascook they quite often do winter direct flights

Well found, jojouk! I searched the airport websites without success. Good to know, as my sis likes to go over to Bodrum. Not sure I'd go in the winter either, del949. My place on a Goan beach is also assured

Del,
You are such a 'gadabout' - just jealous really!

What dates are you in Bitez? We will be back in September - sorted flights just got to decide on hotels now. Thinking about splitting the month between Bitez and, maybe, Turgetreis but may settle for 4 weeks on the beach at Poyraz!

holidays for you do flights to dalaman all winter ,, we went in feb this\year with them ,thought it was expensive

got a couple of prices for my friends cheapest was £378 for the pair of them which I thought was pretty good.

Prawn,
we are in Bitez from somewhere around 8th sept for 2 weeks and are staying at Paloma Apts, basically all cosmos had to offer was these or the Kassandra. had to book with cosmos as we used tesco vouchers to pay for it.

Onur Air (through Aegean and a few other agents) are runing a winter schedule direct from MAN to DLM and so are some of the charter carriers, eg Thomas Cook.
