Turkish airlines around your dates start £265.
Good luggage allowance and meals included.


As low as £210 but stretching your dates range.

You will be very lucky to better the above prices. You could try a package holiday and just go your own way in Dalaman or from the hotel you are booked in. I was lucky once and booked a package staying about 5 minutes from our place. I saved about £300.

We are still looking,we found slightly better flight prices if we go from Monday May 27 and come back on
 May 31,but as we have a lot to do we need a week.
     If anyone sees anything that we've missed let us know.
Will keep looking,in the hope we will not pay the £400 each rtn
  Cheers

Yes something cheaper/better may come along but if you wait before booking, you may not get those dates at those prices.

Not sure if the £25 off was included for your Monarch quote?  They are showing flights for less in the 'grab a bargain' section to Dalaman in May.

Would you consider flying to Antalya and then getting the bus. Easyjet have flights for about 225 each,(including luggage) but flying a week later

Your flights are so expensive because they take in The May bank holiday

Checked monarch flights this morning £854.96 without baggage and seat allocation.(may 25- Jun 2.)
(  We have to go on these dates)
    We have never paid this much for flights.
  What do you think ?
Should we wait and hope more flights are put on and the price may go down on the above flights ?
 We have looked at going Monday and coming back Friday but we have so much to to do we need more than 3 or 4 days there.

May is here in a couple of days and your departure date is just 3 and a half weeks from today - I doubt any prices are going to come down at this late stage Peter. I think they will probably go up too.

I've checked on Skyscanner and get the same prices as you are getting. Can't see an alternative route that would work out cheaper either. You always seem to be looking just a few weeks before flying - try booking a year in advance  ;)

I know I always leave it to late to book flights.
 This time  I was not going over in may,but because we did not get Tapu  in April,
We have to come back and try again in May and get it,wish us luck.
  I have a day off work tomorrow and will have one last look and will think about booking it.
