What if the Flight Prices Soar?
« on: November 03, 2019, 17:42:37 PM »
Genuinely interested in this poll - we are hoping to go next year but a lot depends on what prices Easyjet will release this week.  There comes a price that makes you think...

So difficult. :-\ :-\  :-\

If there was a Don't Know option I would have chosen that.

Sorry  :-[

Really depends how "silly" they are - maybe via Antalya at a push but probably look elsewhere.......... and then decide to pay it anyway  ;D

Having a place there, we will have to pay it. Even getting up at the crack of dawn on Thursday, I fear we will still have to pay £500+ for us both in September the way things are going. Not happy about it at all.

Agree Chris, when we had our place there it is difficult to think of not going to it - 5am Thursday is the only chance, see you there mate...

I'm another one who will be up at silly o'clock for flights.
What with the ever rising costs of flights plus our site fees with no help from rentals now I think it's definitely time to reevaluate having our place.
Billy on the other hand won't even consider it

Agree Anne, our brilliant value for money place is being eroded away in so many ways.

Don’t forget that we now need to add £108 for a family of 4 for visas to the higher flight prices, following the recent significant hike.

Agree Keith, I said the same when the visa increase came in a couple of weeks ago I got shot down on facebook for even suggesting it will put people off choosing to visit Turkey.
While yes I will pay it as we get more than one use out of ours, but families booking their summer holiday will consider this added expense to the cost.
As for the flight prices someone is having a serious laugh or conspiracy...as I said on another thread I can buy flights to New york through out next year from £220 direct. Other desinations are also cheaper.
we have just done our first none direct flight home (via SAW) and found it less painless than we thought it would be.

Also how come enviromentalists do not jump on the fact that people will take 2/3 flights to get the same destination if the price is so much cheaper....not good for the carbon footprint surely.
I have found flights to Istanbul via frankfurt then flights from to Istanbul to dlm yes a lot of faffing (for some) but the price is currently 1/3 of the price than choosing a UK airline. Thats a big saving for a famiy.
