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



That's why I said to follow them on fb (or twitter). That way they pop up in your feed when the flights are available.

Might try them next year.

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.. 

Give the Turkish number a ring or go to their F.B. Page and message them.   The lady who works there is English I think she is married to a Turk.   She will take your details and get back to you with flights.  It seems the last minute ones are the cheapest.  I contacted her about Scottish flights and she did say the best flight prices. if you can do this, are a few days before the flight is due to leave.

For the first time since 2009, we were cheaper booking a package holiday to Calis in September. Flights, baggage, transfer & hotel prices were more this year than booking a package holiday. Good luck getting booked.

It is much cheaper to book a cheap holiday option.. seen some for Ovacik. You don't need to take the hotel.. just tell the rep at the airport that you will be using the return flight
