We have also used them for the past 3 years and have booked up through to October 2011 with them, if you book when they first go on sale you get a good price, they usually change times, but with us so far nothing to drastic, if anything the times have been better!!(We fly from Birmingham)

They fly from quite a few places "sometimes". You may not always fly back to the same as you went from. Last week people on my partners flight came from Bournemouth and they retuned to birmingham 2 days later then schedualed and then were bussed to Bournemouth.
We have found them not too bad during the peak season but at the start and finnish be careful Onur Air ("Ono Air") their carrier are not particualy bothered where or when they get you back, they will however get you back. We had to go back from Bodrum last year 2 days later than planned.
You will also find it hard to get any compensation from them as they hide behind the fact that Ono Air is a Turkish registered carrier and so not covered by the Air transport users council.
Good luck anyway

We use them all the time and apart from having our flight times changed we've never had a problem.  Also we've always returned to the airport we flew from, I wouldn't mind an extra two days 8)  Cheap, cheerful with no frills but you get what you pay for.

This person 'got what they paid for' as well (actually they didn't did they?)

Flight 16/09/10: Onur Air

Would avoid using this airline again. Bristol to Dalaman flight OK, plenty of leg room with no extra charge however Dalaman to Bristol was a nightmare , flight was put forward to 3 o'clock instead of 5'clock and whilst checking in the board said Bristol and Newcastle so we had to ask what was going on. Without any notice we had to fly to Newcastle and then to Bristol which extended our flying time to 6 hours. I think this is appalling, considering they didn't give us any free refreshments or an apology! You get what you pay for.

I suppose some of the people who were on the flight to birmingham on Friday 10th got a lot more than they paid for, 2 nights in the grotty Dalaman Park hotel, then they had a free tour of England starting at about 21.00 from Birmingham to Bournemouth bargain or what!!
One girl had her 18th party all arranged for the Friday night as she should have been home Wednesday, Ohno air had other plans for her and gave her a tour of the M40 and A34 instead. These people would not have got home before midnight.
Just beware with these people especially towrds end of season, make sure you have extra days booked off work just in case.

Used them three times a year for the last three years and got them booked for three in 2011. A couple of minor hitches but I'm more than happy at the prices we paid.

I have looked on Aegean website but there is no option for Dalaman from Mcr, only to Istanbul, is that correct or am I having another blonde spell?  :-\

If you look at the Onur Air website you won't see any of the UK regional airports, you need to go to the Aegean site:

Hi Jenny. Look forward to seeing you again. Just hope I'm still here cos my mam was taken into hospital today. She's 93 going on 94 and not in the best nick. I'm phoning home and weighing things up day by day.

Blimey Ken I got bored talking about Aegean and didn't see about your mum till now. Best of wishes and luck to her.

Post by: kenkay on September 21, 2010, 23:52:24 PM
Thanks Keith. She's holding her own at the moment but cursing my sister-in-law for getting her hospitalised. She does really need to be there so I'm praising sis-in-law for doing what had to be done. I wonder if anybody else's mother in their 90's is as stubborn as mine [?]
p.s. guess we're a bit off topic here  ;) I'll mail you later in week.
