I thought Jet2 had flights primarily leaving from airports in the north. I've never used them myself but that's the impression I've got from people that have.

And the availability of cheap flights tends to vary depending on dates and demand so they'll be winners and indeed losers with any airline depending on how flexible people can be with their dates...

Looks like you're on the losing side this time Stoop   ;)

Whenever cheap flights are mentioned they are always for down south. No chance of such low prices from Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Actually, that's not correct.  Over the years I've posted several deals for flights to Turkey from Edinburgh - the problem is that folks want the £149rtn's in July and August of yesteryear, that simply doesn't happen any more during peak periods.

Not that it makes any difference to me personally but I felt compelled to have a look at their prices.

I chose Manchester Dalaman return and the flights look fairly reasonable to me. I didn't include August as the most expensive month whoever you book with but they were about £100 more on average

6th of June for a week with THY via Istanbul £207.54.

Includes 23kg, meals, seats etc.

That's a random week, there'll be cheaper, and probably more expensive.

No cheap deals from Edinburgh?

That is a good price if you are willing to accept the long travelling time.

PS My apologies - I should of course have made clear that the flight prices I quoted in a thread entitled Jet2 increase the number of seats available for the 2018 season" were Jet2 flights   ;)

Add bags and seats and then tell me they are reasonable.

They aren’t the only ones though. £700+ seems about average next year if you want clothes and to sit together.

I wonder what other periods of four hours there are where people feel they simply can't get through without the need to be fed. Or pay high prices for cat food style foil containers containing 5 tiny cubes of chicken in beige vomit with green beans and carrots, a 2" square dry dessert and a piece of cheese without sufficient elbow room to even open it without giving black eyes to those sitting next to you. And water served in a circular tray.

It truly amazes me. When it was free it was at it's market value.
