UK Flights cancelled

Nice one Cenk, thanks for the contact numbers and information

Flew back to Gatwick last night from Dalaman. We were originally due to be routed to Newcastle as that was the only airport open in the UK at that time. Diverted to Gatwick, our original destination while we were in the air. Should have flown back on Thurs 15 April with Thomas Cook, but flight was delayed for six days. As we were seat only passengers,stayed at Dalaman airport for 13 hours. Thomas Cook then came back and picked up three coach loads of passengers, and took us to the Dalamn Hilton,where we stayed all inclusive for six days. How's that for customer service? Well done Thomas Cook, it could have been a lot worse for us.

just spoken to Cyprus Turkish and are told they may be able to get us home on Friday (one week beyond original departure date).  Awaiting a confirmation call - thank god its pay day on friday !  Fingers crossed folks.  I didnt ever think I would moan about being stuck in Turkey - but when you have commitments (work / pets etc) at home you cant help but stress about it.   Hopefully we will be home for the weekend.
Hi Pookie I am booked on Cyprus Turkish from Gatwick to Dalaman on FRiday but cannot contact them to see if it is going,would be grateful if you could post if they are flying,will keep fingers crossed they get you home.

Easyjet are closing their desks an hour before take off, i presume to fill the empty seats to the people stuck here, so leave in plenty of time if flying with them.

So - the big question is............................................................................................................................................................................................................................have they finished the golf course:D

[Rayza]

The golf course isn't finished yet, only about 4 holes complete. The rest of the course is just a pile of sand so give it a few years yet before you decide get your clubs out.

[Gorgeous_bird]

perhaps they are turning the pile of sand into a ski slope???

Back on topic please

TC are not working to a normal service in the resorts. If you have a flight to the UK there is no guarantee that you will get on the flight as they are returning those who have been here longest and those with priority first. So check with TC before you head off to Dalaman or Antalya. I was due out on a flight from Antalya tomorrow and I have been told that I will not get on it even though I have a confirmed booking.

The UK government is trying to get the EU to compensate the airlines. They should not be given a penny as they are now exploiting the situation by quadrupling the cost of flights over the next 2 to 3 weeks.
