high flight prices
« on: July 09, 2017, 21:23:30 PM »
Hi there we are 2 ad 2 kids looking to come between 4-7 th aug for 3 weeks. we have a villa booked. this will be our 10 th time and i cannot believe the price of the flights. we want to fly from leeds or newcastle and coming in at around £1600. i know no-one has a crystal ball ,but is there anybody in the 'know' who can let me know if they are likely to drop or actually increase? i have never left it so late to book, i know we will get something ,but struggling to accept I may have to pay these prices!  :)

I don't know if you have tried it,  but sometimes you can get it cheaper if you book one airline out and another back e.g. Monarch and Jet2 both go from Leeds so worth a look.

Yes, this does work sometimes. There's also easyjet who fly from Newcastle but not Leeds.

These prices are on F.B.Turkish Forums every week.  If you can leave it until late it seems you get cheap prices.

Hi Jacqui,

Any idea if they have released flights for end of August yet? Or how long in advance do they tend to show flights for ?  I need to be back in the UK end of Aug but flights are looking sooo expensive, this could be a cheaper option.  I take it those prices also are not "From £xxx" and end up going up dramatically when you actually look to book them..

Sometimes it cheaper to fly to Antalya, if it's a significant saving you could offset the price of a private return transfer.
