If anyone has any tips on the hotels in the Bodrum area would be great as we have a full year to plan.
Thanks Lynn, I suspected that was the case and I think I remember you saying that.
I think we def want to go to Olu Deniz, having trouble getting prices from a lot of the sites though, as if the hotels haven't released prices for next year. Have got a decent price for the Alize hotel though which looks ok. Any tips for me too would be good, definitely need somewhere decent, preferably all inclusive that has a kids club.
I am so going to get into trouble from Briar for going off topic aren't I?

Some of the accommodation only sites dont release next years prices until around Sept time. I noticed that quickrooms and freedomdirect both had prices for next year, but choice is limited at the moment.
Thanks Sarong! I will hang off, as ideally would like maybe, Belcekiz Beach, Club Sun City or Olu Deniz Resort, none of which are showing on any of the sites at the moment.

Well, the prices I looked at from Birmingham yesterday for August 2008 have gone up today, but have just booked for 29th July to 12th August flying out from Cardiff for 2 at £172.
This will be the first time we've not flown from Gatwick and will save me over 2 1/2 hours drive! So, here I am, having returned from Olu only last friday, already booking for a return visit to Turkey, dare I say that its only 13 months and 2 weeks until next years visit, although Im hoping to squeeze at least one more in between now and then!
Have never been back to the same place on holiday, but this time, just cannot wait to return at all

Catherine .Ive pmed you but just checked with thomson re accomodation only prices and they said they should start coming through 6-8 weeks. they have great deals for this year including the BB so lets hope its the same for next
thats helpful info Lynwestie 
can't wait now that Ive booked my flights, am also considering booking for May 2008 but unsure when our school holidays are . . . am still looking to book for July/August 2007 but the prices are so so much higher than this 
really struggling to find something for then

Thanks Lyn,
I'm going to hang off. Have just sent my brother in law an email to see if they want to come with us. They were supposed to come with us this year but couldn't afford it. They have four kids so hopefully this will be a good opportunity for them to get a cheap holiday!

What a plonker am I!!
I was over the moon about booking cheap flights for next May half term but......I booked for the week after half term. Gutted!! I work in a college and so can't take time off out of holidays. We wouldn't mind taking our boys out of school. The nice people at Aegean flights have given us a full refund so back to the drawing board now.
Not convinced we would save that much booking at the half term flight prices and then separate accomodation.

Emma, Im glad that they gave you a full refund! But what a shame!
I did look for our holiday in May this year separately, but it worked out cheaper in a package, I dont like taking my son out of school which is why I jumped at the chance to go in July/Aug at such good prices. Am hoping to go in August this year, but am leaving it for a last minute deal on that one even if I dont use the accommodation (which I wont be), guess its just a case of see it. . . book it! But hope you get something sorted

hi can any one advise me on booking diy as have always booked through travel agent.saw the cheap flights for next year and i am really tempted.do you may the full price on booking or a deposit.also how do i go about arranging transfers.I got agreat price for the hotel alize in oul denize all inclusive for 135 each person as anyone stayed there .thanks sue
this will be the first time Ive done DIY too, so can understand how you feel, I normally book a package for "safety" but felt the prices we paid for August was too good to turn down
As for transfers, you can also book these with them on some of the flights, when you go through the booking it will ask you if you want to book them, as well as if you need wheelchair assistance or want vegetarian meals. For the transfers the price was about £15-20 one way per person, but you can book via companies in Turkey, I got quotes for this for our recent trip and it was about £70 return for the 2 of us to Olu, so nice and easy to arrange.
with these flights with Aegean, you pay in full on booking.do you may the full price on booking or a deposit.

For transfers to the Fethiye area we always use http://www.orangerentacar.com , if you do a search on the forum you will find a thread about transfers and Orange are also members of the forum.
Not sure how much it would be to Olu, we pay £60 for 4 people, return from Dalaman to Calis Beach. We have used them many times and never been let down. It feels like luxury to be picked up by your own private minibus and whisked away to your resort!

OMG, just looked at two flight for next July in the school hols from EMA, it was only £78 each!!!!!!!!
Georgdieno9, I've tried too and it looks like the same thing that happened with the Glasgow flights yesterday. Give it a couple of hours and try it again, it will probably be showing up by tonight.

Sue you dont need to worry about the accomodation yet. its important to sort out flights first. Its far easier to match accomodation dates to flights than the other way round. go for it ,book the flights then you have all the time in the world to sort out accomodation and transfers. It will be another couple of months at least before all the accomodation only sites have a good selection. but you can have plenty of fun investigating now where you want to stay , then look for the best price later. it really is easy
good luck

I've been trying for flights from Newcastle for the last 3 days with no success. I sent them an email, but as of yet have had no reply.

you could try phoning them Zog, but the girl on the phone just told me that "they must be sold out". Which was, of course, nonsense!

I was very temped to book these flights at the prices but held back as my hubby doesn't find out till Christmas his new work rota for next year. Now that I hear someone has been refunded for not being able to go on their dates booked, I might as well go ahead. Don't know if they will still do it after Christmas but we might be able to just change the flights. What do others think or should I just wait till after Christmas? Karen
