Thanks in advance

Hi,we too are looking to book next August,we've flown with both Thomas Cook and Monarch and prefer Monarch I think prices are almost the same for both airlines
-
How many passengers is that for?

have you looked into British airways as they start flying to dalaman next year
-
BA only go from Gatwick though - but good prices.
-
If I were you I would wait until October as Easyjet release their summer flights. If you book on the first day youll get them a lot cheaper than the prices your quoting. ;) ;)
-
OK thanks for advice never used Easy jet are they any good?
-
If prices were around the same I doubt many people would choose to fly with Thomas Cook - Monarch are far superior in just about every way in my opinion.
-
Easyjet first, closely followed by Monarch - would rather pay a bit extra to not fly with Thomas Cooke and go with somebody else.
-
We've flown Easyjet several times over the years and not had a problem.
Having said that we have booked with BA from Gatwick next year and will report back then about the difference.
BAs fares were very good at when they were first posted though like Easyjet as the flight fills up the fares go up.
-
Friends we were on holiday with were with Thomas Cook, (end August) flight cancelled ended up 18 hour delay, not much fun especially with children. Personally I wouldn't use the, even before this happened.
-
I am nervous that I'm booked with Thomas Cook in November (nobody else flies Manchester to Dalaman at that time of year) :(
Currently looking at flights for October 2015 - Jet2 booking is open and pretty good pricewise, Thomson is open and horrific pricewise, I am waiting for Monarch and Easyjet to go on sale.
I have flown with all four and my favourites are surprisingly Easyjet and Jet2. Monarch and Thomson can suffer from very elderly rolling stock if you're unlucky!!!
-
I have been with Thomas Cook quite a few times but. For not much leg room,have had no problem,
Been with monarch no problem, but better leg room,
-
Our last TC flight was a Boeing 767 (10 across), good leg room, arms retracted fully and no reclining seats - much better.
-
Some of my best (=cheapest) Dalaman flights have been going out with one and coming back with another. Don't forget to check that out as another possibility.
-
Yes last year we came out Monarch and back Jet2 - Opodo.co.uk is good for pricing multi-airline returns
-
We did that last month out with Easyjet in with Monarch...only pro on return was we had a delay which fair enough that could happen who ever you fly with,but we think Monarch were doing the old combining two planes if they had two half full flights...
On the plus side we decided to give the C.I.P lounge a whirl as neither of us could face sitting on those hard benches at Dalaman....We loved the CIP lounge I have never been so full up and nottt thirsty on leaving Dalaman...I need to do some research on the credit card you can take out where you can get free airport lounges as I admit I am now hooked :)
-
Good old Monarch - our 08:30 flight this morning was delayed to 09:00 - not a problem but I did laugh when they emailed me at 10:37 to advise the flight time had changed - plonkers!
-
Came back 9th July with Monach...charter Onur Airbus.... Wait for it........ 4 passengers on the plane. There were more crew...even the captain waved to us. Easy check in at Dalamn and on arrival at East Midlands no rush for the bus to take us to arrivals...border control could not believe it.... Best flight ever...plenty of leg room and seat choice,but Roger is still in trouble as he made me book seats!!!!! He even asked for a window seat....
