Hi Wendy

I have friends who use them for flights to Northern Cyprus, without any trouble.  I'm looking to use them for our return flight in September, straight into Stansted

Great, thanks

Found excellent flights from birmingham for next year at a fantastic price. I'm very worried about them not being covered by ATOL and no mention of baggage charges

I have flown with them from Antalya - Heathrow great flight. In my opinion better than BA and yes they are ATOL. They are part of Turkish Airlines.

I used them Gatwick to Dalaman and back in May - no problems at all, but people with longer legs than mine might have been a bit aquashed!

Oh dear my other half is tall and I have booked the seats! Will get there early for door or aisle seat

£275 for both of us from birmingham to dalaman AMAZING!!!

Sorry a bit p----d this end. Realise you meant with Cyprus Turkish Airlines.
I have just looked at prices for June look cheap but with taxes added seem about average. Had been having a talk with daughter about coming to Kalkan July 2010 as having to subsidise her was looking for cheap flights!!Will shut up now and return to bed!  Mind you champagne from Tesco's tonight cheap but good :-)

Just paid £275 for 2 people from Birmingham to Dalaman next June

Everyone else wants that each

Plus 25kg case and 5kg hand luggage allowance!!!

I flew with them for first time this summer and my friend had her bags go missing. Seems it carried on to Cyprus whilst her mum's and mine got taken off. After loads of phone calls to Cyprus, Gatwick, and Dalaman we eventually got the bag back on the 4th day of a week long break!  >:(

I also know of another person who had same problem the year before, but only found this out after our own misfortune. Apparantly it's a common occurrence with the airline!  :(

Be careful! We thought it was 25kg but that is for an adult and child. It's 20kg per adult with 5kg hand luggage!

We always mix up the cases, so there's a bit of everyone's clothes in each case...avoids having to go out and buy things you don't really want if a case goes missing en route... ;)
EasyJet's flights for next May/June are pretty cheap one way and pretty costly the other...making them the same as Onur/Thomas Cook. Could you post the website details for this airline - do they fly from manchester?

Thanks, Kalkan Regular, it apperas they only fly via Istanbul to Dalaman from Manchester....it would be quicker to go to to London  ::)

I flew with them to Northern Cyprus from Manchester in May - quite a lot of people left the plane in Dalaman.  Don't know whether their bags kept up with them though... ;)

I'm pretty sure they are direct Manchester to Kalkan and not via Istanbul as the flights I've been looking as the flight time is too short to go via Istanbul.
