Flight Survey

[Enjoy Kalkan]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if people could help with a bit of a survey for how you get to Kalkan... Please could you reply on this thread

• What Airport you fly from and when, eg Manchester, July
• How many are usually in your party
• How much your ticket costs on average

Thanks very much
Jon

Hi Jon,

This year:-
May, 4 people £200 each Jet2.com
July, 4 people £150 each Aegean
September, 2 people £84 each Easyjet
All from Manchester but would book Liverpool too if prices were cheap enough.

We fly from Manchester in April, June and October. There are usually 3 or 4 of us.

This year we paid about £150 return for each flight with Onur, last year it was £70 for June and October and £80 for April. Our flights have always more or less been on time, I don''t know if we have just been lucky.

Birmingham - September by myself
Averages between £195-£260 depending on when I can book
I''d book from another airport but as I don''t drive that would mean extra on coach or train plus Birmingham is a 10 min taxi ride from my house.

2 of us, June and September from East mids, Birmingham or Gatwick [flight times and cost depending]

2008 - Onur Air -June and Sept from East Mids £90pp for both dates
[Sept 9 hour delay going out 4 coming back!! June- 2 hour delay both ways]

2009 - Onur Air -June from East Mids £130pp
          Easyjet - Sept from Gatwick £85pp

We plan not to use Onur again next year [will have to put up with them in June] and hope that Easyjet will provide a better service, fingers crossed.

 We fly from Belfast in May £240 with TC, July £156 with Onur and September with TC £246.We paid £50 from Belfast to Manchester and £346 from Manchester to Dalaman for New Year in Kalkan. Last Year we paid £350 each in July with TC, It''s not easy to get cheap flights from Belfast at any time

23rd - 30th March, me an im. Stanstead. Thomas Cook £333.96

13th May - 3rd June, me an im again, Gatwick. EasyJet £370.91

We haven''t booked for September yet.

Bristol is nearer and much more convenient but more expensive. Gatwick is a bit of a potch to drive up to.
Yesterday I looked at flights for 10 days for 2  clients 5th - 15th Sept and it was £200 cheaper to go from Gatwick than Bristol.

This was the same when I looked for 4 adults and 1 child, Bristol, 3rd/4th April for one week. Cheapest I could get was £350 each. Maybe that''s because they come back at Easter??

It will be interesting to see the result of this survey.

[Reygirl]

I''m a single traveller from either East Midlands or Birmingham.  In 2008 I flew in May (package deal), September (package deal), early November and end of December when the average price of flights was around £150 because of the time of year.

Flying from Manchester Aug 17 - 31 this summer with Thompson

Cost £350 each

Two of us booked but may get flights later for a couple of our teenagers to join us when they know what their plans are

Can''t wait it is our first time!

April, 2pax £116 rtn Onur Gatwick
Sept, 4 pax £136 rtn Onur Out Bournemouth/return Gatwick

We fly from Manchester, always choose good daytime flights in July, last year there were 9 of us and we paid £250 each with Monarch, this year there are 7 of us and we paid £230 each with Thomas Cook.  Would prefer Monarch, but flights were about £300 each this year.
It''s so annoying when I always see the Gatwick flights so much cheaper than Manchester. 

[Chucky]

From Manchester end of May, 14 nights, just over £250 each with Jet2 which was the cheapest. I have not flown with them before but joined their "club" as you earn points against the cost of future flights and some of their other flights during the season seem very reasonable.
I agree with the other comments that it is galling that flights from Gatwick are so much cheaper.

We travel from Gatwick (3 hrs away) if we come over in April, early May otherwise we fly via Birmingham (1 hr away) - either Onur or Thomas Cook.  An average of £150 each (2 of us).  Have always been disappointed with Thomas Cook, for the few times we have used Onur they are about average - seriously thinking about going via Turkish Airlines next time.
