Post by: AlanMoule on January 14, 2004, 20:53:11 PM: Dawn has introduced herself so I had better introduce myself now. Since she introduced herself she seems to be on the chat forums quite alot, so whilst she goes and gets me another raki from my duty free supply,:D (amazed it's lasted this long :o), I can take the opportunity to say hi!.
Yes we have recently returned from a hectic 11 days in Calis over Christmas, it was great fun. We can't wait to get back, we just finished the furnishing in time to go home:-\. We spent 2 nights sleeping there, our first night we crawled in at 4.30in the morning[xx(], thanks to Marly & Paul, but atleast I got some Christmas cake, thanks to Marly & Paul's daughter.
Dawn has asked me to let you know our house number, we are number 89. Look forward to meeting new neighbours at Easter, we are hoping to go out the Sunday before and be out for the bank holiday weekend, let us know if you are in Calis and we will let you know when the house warming is.
Quick question, Cyprus Turkish Airlines have just released their summer schedule, flights from Stansted to Dalaman start 30/3, does anyone know if it is cheaper to use an agent or to go direct to them. We have been quoted £290 plus £15 tax for a return.

Welcome to the board. Have you tried Excell Airways from Gatwick? Not sure about this year but they were very good last summer when we went.

I've found it best to book through www.flightline.co.uk - you should get flights a lot cheaper than you have been quoted. They have an excellent and quick search engine just click on flights and follow the rest of the instructions - easy peasy!! :D:D

Good Luck Alan

I use that site too-- it's the best and easiest by far - even if you can't book on line.

Post by: AlanMoule on January 15, 2004, 20:00:06 PM: Dawn had a go at flightline and the prices were cheaper, but mostly from Manchester. We have ended up reserving flights from Cyprus Turkish Airlines, it seems the best way to do it and we can stay for more than 7 days, they were a little cheaper as Dawn and I are married na dshare the same name and also Robyn is a student, you get discounts for those things apparently. Thanks for everyones tips.

I think David James must have been sneeking a look at the Calis chat room as he has decided to leave my beloved West Ham to go to Manchester City:-\, the only reason I can think of for such lunacy is cheaper flights from the local airport to Dalaman!

Cenk, a case of Raki sounds very good to me:D, we will certainly have a few Raki's together in April when we are in Calis.(Is there a smilie for drunk?, or has it been worn out in the past due to over use).

Marly, my mistake, it was 4.30p.m. it must have been the enebriating effect of your afternoon tea that made me think it was the early hours of the morning!

Will post again soon.

Alan.
