Sorry yes one way, you only mentioned the 25th and from Manchester... if you need to return during the first few days of Sept it's expensive as seats are full of people coming back to the UK for school.

You might find it cheaper to take a package to somewhere like Marmaris & just use the flight bit of it! 

I've done that in the past (on a last minute holiday) & it was fine.  I just told the rep that I'd see her at the airport a week later.

Ive looked at doing that Sally,but I want to go to Kalkan,so the transfer would be a lot of money,could use the bus system but it wastes to much time,but its a good Idea .

Just take the flight part of the holiday - lots of deals to Marmaris & you'll fly into Dalaman.  Leave the package there , as it were.You'll still have the transfer if you ararnge your own flight - won't you?

We've been looking at September - after the school holidays are over and they are still coming out at around £700 for the two of us - with luggage. That's using skyscanner going out on Monarch (fairly cheap) coming back on easyJet (ridiculous) plus EJ slap on an admin charge if you're only using them for a one way flight - cheek!!
We haven't actually managed to get round our work committments yet...but I think if I see a cheap flight and go for it, it will seal the deal with BH. There seems to be plenty of accomodation but our favourite place is already booked....should have kept quiet about that :P
Will look at Sally's suggestion, but the problem with package is we can't do 12 nights with most - they're fixed at one or two weeks, generally :(

We have had guests fly in to Antalya and out of Dalaman and save >£100 each, worth a look at different combinations to see if that saves anything (remember to allow the additional transfer costs)
