George, as previously said it's by far the easiest option. Each time I have done this journey there has been a member of staff waiting with a list of all the international passengers names. They wait at the bottom of the staircase, and funnel you through a side door straight onto the bus. It's very efficient and you are at the international terminal within minutes where you enter by a door which is right next to the luggage carousel.

I recently flew back with British Airways and had 23.9 kilos.  Had only 15ks with Turkish Airlines, they didnt charge me and just put a heavy label on my case:D  For a small charge you can increase you luggage allownace to 20ks.  I have been told that it is only 4-5TL approx if they do fine you.

I spoke to Turkish airlines about taking some excess luggage on our trip from Manchester, they have quoted me an extra £8 per kilo. Chris seems to think that is reasonable !

Not a direct flight. Also I thought you usually do get a seat when you buy a ticket. Never been charged for bags meal or seat on THY.
Not sure what the allowance for baggage is but I always get 50kg for short haul and 60 for long haul but thats with a frequent flyer card, I am guessing it is normally 25-30kg. When flying domestic you get 20kg.

Also just noticed that the Birmingham-Dalaman route is not direct and can be between 18-28 hours traveling. Better off getting the early bird from Heathrow and at least arrive in Dalaman the same day.

Didn't know about Atlas Jet before so have decided to go with them as they give 20kg instead of THY 15kg and also Atlasjet are cheaper. And if you are 65 or over you are even cheaper!
