BA are back!
« on: July 03, 2014, 06:41:31 PM »
Who knew that BA would be flying to Dalaman from Gatwick again next year? April to June available now. Fares from £69 one way.

Hi Cuddles I have checked their site and keep getting the following error message??


Sorry, we found no destinations matching "dalaman".

This may be because we do not fly there, or there could be a problem with your search term. Please check the spelling or try searching for another term, such as the city or country. Alternatively you can choose to list our destinations by continent or country.

Charlie, I have just been on the BA site and it was working fine for me. Try putting in DLM in the destination field and then click on their drop down box when it shows.
Another thought, you are searching for 2015 aren't you and the flights only go up to 22 June 2015, from sometime in April 2015.

Thanks Cuddles but I have tried again and get the same message.  Entering DLM, selecting Dalaman from the drop down and dates going out April 2015 returning May 2015 - odd??? 
Will keep trying , thanks again.

Charlie, are you using a PC? I will try on my MacBook later, see if there is a problem with that.

Pattaya, yes, but look at the hand baggage allowance, free drinks and snack and much more room. I'm surprised that anybody over 12 still travels with t cook.

Charlie, Mmm, strange! I thought I had posted here on Friday night that I had not had any problem using my Macbook to access the BA site.

I have just gone on to the website and put in dates for June next year, and it came up with a price, and a good one at that.  I really don't think that even Exclusive Escapes have that much sway with British Airways!!

I have contacted Easyjet to ask why they muck around releasing flights in dribs and drabs..each year the stands are the same..the boarding gates are the same....yet they release them so you can book (in our case)for half our june holiday but have to wait for a couple of months for the next lot so we can book to come back!! >:(..I also pointed out that EJ are no longer a small player in aviation as the amount of EJ aircraft at Airports (especially Gatwick) proves...guess what??? NO Reply!! PAH! and double PAH! I say...... they can do one!! >:D
I have since booked our flights for june next year with British Airways the same price I paid with EJ this year..includes baggage 23KG...and free snacks and drinks!! and you get more leg room(even us with little legs like room) ;)..oh! and a newspaper!

It's a gamble isn't it?? Easyjet might come up cheap because of the competition? but from my point of view with them I pay 2 booking fees as I have to do 2 transactions for our flights!! bloody cheek!! only a few quid but Hey! release your flights so people can buy what they want!! BA no booking fee if you use debit card!!..23 kg Luggage?as I only take about 9 Kg of luggage (washing machine Is my buddy) this means I have room for 14 kg of sausages :P ;D

EasyJet?

Easy to get money out of people, certainly.  Could be worse - could be Ryanair!

As it's Gatwick, it costs us £170 for a return taxi or it's parking and petrol.  TAkes the edge of what could be interesting.

For Luton - Monarch rules ...

Just tried BA, and I didn't get any result either!

However changing the dates to 30 April 15 and 1 June 15 does get it going!!

Hope that helps.

I use the term Northerner to mean anything north of Watford Gap and to be fair most things are cheaper up here ;D ;D
