Been in touch with Thomson's as saw they have flights to Dalaman from Aberdeen in September and October.
Asked could we please book to go in September and come back four weeks later? They have the flights on their system, they have seats available, but, we cannot book. This is because they can only book flights going out, that return in 7 or 14 days.
This means we cannot book with them. The girl in the shop tells me they want customers to book for Turkey as numbers are so far down from customers who want to visit and she herself cannot understand why, when there are flights, she cannot book them for us.
She also cannot book single journeys which would have been the answer.
This is totall madness.
