well done jo - lets hope its nice and busy for onur air

Hopefully with the fact that the flights are already available to book, many people will use them this year.

They proved to be very popular this winter.

Update re Dalaman airport - http://www.landoflights.net/detay.asp?hid=375

Also says

there will be international flights from Dalaman also during the winter and tourism will be spread over 12 months

Just to keep you all updated with the winter flight routes.

http://www.h4u.co.uk are going to continue their Dalaman route from both Gatwick and Manchester through winter 2006/2007, on a Friday.

They are also adding Bodrum flights from both Manchester and Gatwick on a weekly basis. Which are on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I have been told that it is possible that you can mix and match these flights, so its possible to fly into either Dalaman or Bodrum and return from Dalaman or Bodrum, so that its possible to do 3/4/10 and 11 night durations.

In addition to these flights, Thomas Cook have contacted me this week to tell me they are operating a direct flight to Dalaman during winter 2006/2007 they did tell me it would be on a Friday from Gatwick, but when you check the web site, it shows the flights as being on a Monday.

I have signed your petition. Newby to Marmaris, went July 06 going back in Sept/Oct 06. In love with it. Good Luck.

hi folks. just a note to say that onur air are noe doing winter flights ret to bodrum, no more via istanbul. website is holidays for u. at last

well done Jo. About time the travel companies took note

It will be good news for turkey (and visitors) if flights go in over the winter. I have just bought off-plan property in the Tuzla Lake area of Bodrum - quite close to Bodrum-Milas airport. Bodrum looks like a boom area at the moment and with golf going in now (the new Vita Park Golf Resort is a stones throw from our properties) plus the possibility of flights all year - holidays in this fantastic country look set to expand.

All the best

Flights to Turkey in the winter have been there for a while now.

Well done Jo

Hi

I have only just joined the forum,but have been reading posts for a while,well done Jo for your hard work on this matter.

yes the flights are there though very expensive i think.. h4u packages are comming in around 650 for a week 3 persons, and flights 450 .ive searched everywere for feb and the cheapest is 450, for flights.at this rate i cant see many people wanting to go out of season ,xxx jan

I see flights from gatwick near the end of February for £110 each.

If that is expensive then what is cheap?

I have been to Spain a few times since xmas and I wish I had only paid £110 for my flight

i think its expensive when we went in sept and oct for £99 pp including accomadation 1 week,, ok it was poor but we didnt use it ,(goldtrail)..oh and we also got the exchelsior 1 week .in may and that was a1 accomadation,£250 for 2 persons .all booked off teletext ,as we live no where near gatwick ,manchester is our only option then theres petrol £40 and parking £25 working out at roughly £615 for 3 persons flight only no transfers even , and im going to goa 1st march for 3weeks bnb 1200 pounds .height of season 2 persons ,just doesnt compare does it.but were still going need a break the flights i booked did say £124 but then theres the extras they add on plus its half term week

A1 travel have flights to Dalaman all year round. Apologies if this has already appeared on the thread, I have just joined the forum and this is a long long thread.

People should understand that these winter fights are going to be full of flight only reservations - with people with properties in the area. IE, people who do not want accomodation from which the Tour Ops can make additional profit. It is there as a service. The earlier you book, the better the price. You can't expect to pay a budget price for flight only in off-season when everyone else is looking for the same bargain.

Anyone that wishes to choose departure time, airport, and book their own transfers must understand that the tour op has to make a profit from somewhere.

If you believe we should all be able to fly to Turkey on a 4 - 4.5 hour flight for less than £150 average then you are living in cloud cuckoo land.

How many times have you been on your budegt flight, in your budget hotel, and been able to say to some poor soul that you have paid half the price that they have?

I generally book D-I-Y to Turkey, and have had some great flight prices, including this Summer '07 to Antalya with First Choice at an unbelievable £97.50 pp. However, over the last 10 years the average price is probably closer to £150 pp flight only.

Anyone who can be flexible with their times and wishes to take the cheapest offer available will always be able to find the 7 days - £139 deal.

I for one wouldn't have one given me!!!
