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.
-
If you are on FB then follow Thonpson Flights as they have some great deals for short notice.
-
thanks ,we have looked at using different airlines/airports and get it down to a mere £1400. didn't know easy jet flew from Newcastle? looked at Edinburgh but still very high. thanks for advice i will keep checking (clearing my history every day too!)
-
Tell me about high flight prices >:( - we paid a stupid price. Our choice I know but I should have more sense
-
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..

Skyscanner is showing flights from Newcastle on the Friday for £535 with jet2 & £596 Thomas cook, didn't look at return flight.
-
Sometimes it cheaper to fly to Antalya, if it's a significant saving you could offset the price of a private return transfer.

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.

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
-
i have signed up to the thomson turkey FB page. they said that from newcastle or Doncaster it will be end July beofre the cheap flights are released as they are currently tied up to packages. we can wait as villa booked and are flexible about flying fri. sat.sun or mon.. will keep you posted

flights out of dalaman to the north east/Yorkshire are still very expensive and going up! Thomson only release their 1 ways a couple of weeks before so loks like we will be going to turkey with no return flight booked. never done that before. it wont cause us any problems on arrival will it? we arrive 4/8 and loking to return anytime bank hol weekend
