Interestingly we are looking to book for Portugal for next Sept. This year we paid £130 each from Liverpool with EJ, with seats and luggage. I don't expect to get them any cheaper on Thursday but I will try.

However Jimbo has seen flights with BA from Gatwick for them at £105 each including luggage and seat choice within 48 hrs of the flight. It just shows that flying from the south is much cheaper - probably due to the competition.

The flights we booked from Liverpool for next May at a cost of £418 for the two of us - including hold luggage and seats are now over £450 EACH!

It's cheaper for the both of us to fly with Emirates to Thailand!

Turkey will suffer next year unless things change.

stoop thats exactly what I have been saying, there are plenty of other desinations Europe or worldwide that are sooo much cheaper.
I know we all want our calis fix, I do too, but I hope that people do refuse to book at these prices and sit tight forcing them to drop them.
If the cost were genuine for the airline to operate flights to Turkey then fair dos, and in these uncertain times we expect prices to rise but 200/300% rise is not justified.

As has been said before, its all about supply & demand.  I remember having to pay £350 to fly from Manchester to Aberdeen in the "oil boom" days.

Once the industry gets over the TC collapse and starts taking up the slack Im sure prices will drop again.

Quiz time:

Just out of interest I went on a holiday website to check the price of a two week hotel holiday in Calis in September.

Flight shown was with Tui with an option to change.

What was the difference (plus or minus), per person, if you changed to fly with Jet2 ?

Just read that Easyjet have bought all the TC slots for Gatwick and Bristol. Hope there's more to come from this   :)
