I've done it, booked the cheapest package to Hisaronu and used the transfers each way as well.

To be honest I hadn't thought of Hisaronu   :)

Transfers to Hisaronu are no good for you H, you would end up in Hisaronu.

There is of course the "Scottish" factor.

Because there is SFA on the box and apparently the present Mrs H has a headache (a tad early to be fair) I searched package holidays in Hisaronu for our dates this year and for June and in 2018. The results are in [Pause for Effect]............

Average (first page only - I am not that bored) - 2017 - 674 per person 2018 - 527 per person.

If I cannot find a flight for either of those I am going elsewhere     :)

Package holiday still worked out dearer for us , decided to book online this morning and pay the £450 per person and to my surprise it had gone down to £376

Got the last 2 seats on the flight out,  all the other flights for the days we needed have shot up over £500 now.

Dalaman to Manchester Return Flights.

 There are cheaper ones but its sods law the days I need them for they were dear. and I must admit I would rather pay more for afternoon flights, avoiding night flights, or have to get up  at stupid 'o' clock for early morning flights , much better to get the late afternoon flight Friday and get there for Friday evening. and get the early afternoon flight home.

We found Thomson flights from Edinburgh for our dates next year £361 return

So we booked Manchester flights for our dates, including 1 week 5* AI at Jiva Beach for £378

£17 well invested  ;)
