Is this a Thomson retail shop or a different one?  All very sad though isn't it? I have lots of travel agent friends and they have all told me the  same,  people definitely saying they don't want to holiday in Turkey.
Does anyone see this changing for next year?
I think the only thing saving resorts now is home tourism, there are lots of Turkish people on holiday now.

You message them with your requirements. Thomson airways Turkey. They had several lists with  one way to uk flights. They got back to me within 24 hours

I found their flights website, but they would not accept the return date.  Can you give me the link of where you messaged them please?

It isn't stupid - I assume it is because they will have bought hotel capacity early and need the people on their flights to be also taking rooms so they can reduce their accommodation losses. Sadly when you are having a bad season, selling two flights to someone who can't take up accommodation will not be at all attractive.

But, they will sell two flights for one week or two weeks, so what is the difference?  The price they are charging for the flights is not cheap over £300 each, this is without luggage etc.,  If they do not want to sell stand alone flights why have a Flight Only section?
The girl in the shop says they cannot sell holidays to Turkey and have a lot of flights.  I can hardly see a rush to book now and neither can she.  >:(

Thanks Bernie,  I have messaged them.  Now we have had more bad news, Phil has been called for Jury Duty in September... Will have to move the dates.

  Regarding one ways from Dalaman someone told me a number of years ago of a company based at Dalaman,

  manned by English guys. Steelbird Aviation. Turkish friends used them to get one ways to the UK.

The Thomson office in Fethiye sells flights and the price quoted includes luggage so often cheaper than online. Number is 02526146663.
