Some of these prices are not too hideous if anyone's looking for flights in the next few weeks

Thanks Liz,
These prices are great if you live in England and want to go to Spain.
For my daughter, her husband and the baby to go from Edinburgh to Dalaman in August (without meals or Thomson insurance)
£719.00.   So this means a 3 hour journey just to get to the Airport.  Total rip off, but just what to expect if you live in Scotland.

I booked a holiday with Thomson on the internet.Didn't realise that they charged you the same mark up with a debit card as opposed to credit card.Thomas Cook don't charge debit cards same as credit cards.

Last minute prices do not exist nowadays for ANYONE except for the June period.  Next year with Aegean in August they are around the £150 mark from Edinburgh - worth booking them now I suspect.  We are booked for next April, June and August already with excellent prices.

The link that Liz very helpfully posted shows some excellent prices to Spain from Scotland as well.  Thanks Liz!

It does have Edinburgh to Dalaman.  I'm sorry my computer skills are useless to do a screen shot...but it is there.

4th to 11th August next year, Birmingham to Dalaman £188.50 per person.
9th to 16th August next year, Gatwick to Dalam £172.50 per person.

This is it Toky. I was looking at flights for next year. Not that much cheaper going from Edinburgh than our local Aberdeen Airport once we take into account, petrol and time to Edinburgh, plus they only have 15k luggage allowance if you want 5k more it's another £10.00 each.

But it is the same for everybody!  Brummies and Scots all the same - and cheaper from Edinburgh!  

Personally, I am delighted with our flight bookings.  My bikini doesn't weight a lot so I don't need the luggage allowance - I am a happy brummy bunny!
