Looking at flights now, no even reasonable prices for the next couple of weeks. We are looking at just under £700.00 flight only, then we have to drive to Glasgow or Edinburgh, so petrol money and then we have to leave the car somewhere for a month, so total is going to be around £1.000 just to fly over to Turkey.
This is totally ridiculous. Flights are half empty but the travel companies are still charging top money for a flight. One company is £54 to go over and £229.00 to return, this is without any other extras.
Thomson's are the only company flying from Aberdeen. They have flights, but, they will only let us book 7 days or 14 days return. We wanted to come out for a month. Also, we did think of just booking a flight out with them. No good, they will not do a one way ticket. Yet, the girls in our Thomson's Travel Bureau tell us that their bookings for Turkey are 50% down and their customers do not want to visit Turkey. I find their booking policy madness.
