Flythomascook Dalaman to Gatwick Tuesday 28 April 45.67 euros.

Glasgow to Dalaman 05 May around £ 300. So no major increase in prices from here.

Pegasus Dalaman to Stansted up to the end of April each flight is approx 700TL. Some TC flights 319 Euros. As BA and Turkish Airlines over 700 Euros from Antalya, normally 250 Euros.

I have just checked Thomas Cook flights only Dalaman to London Gatwick.

They say they are not taking bookings for flights prior to 28th April if you do a search but then shows flights available from the 26th April

Outbound prices from Dalaman 26th April to 5th May in Euros 45 - 65 - 59 & 94

Return prices 7th to 12th May from Gatwick in Euros 121 - 131 - 141

I am quite impressed. These seem reasonable to me considering their recent losses.

Apologies, but due to the major problems caused by the volcanic ash disrupting flights, we are not accepting any bookings for departures prior to the 28th April 2010.


This is the message that I got when I tried to progress on the FTC site and would not let me progress

Made it!!!!  we finally arrived back in Calis late last night after waiting 6 days in the UK.  Our first flight with Pegasus to Istanbul then connecting internal flight to Dalaman last Thursday was cancelled along with everyone elses.  They rebooked us on the same flights for Wednesday 21st (yesterday) no extra to pay (flights cost £75 each)  and we were lucky enough to be the first plane to Turkey out of Stansted.  They even gave us exit seats with extra legroom free of charge.  We can't fault Pegasus at all even though it did take a long time to get through to their customer care centre but I guess under the circumstances that was to be expected.

Stansted was like a ghost town yesterdy morning but everyone there was in great spirits as things were finally moving.

I think quite a few airlines are not taking bookings at the moment. They have other things to sort first - like getting people home and sorting out the mess this ash caused. At least Ryan-air don't fly to Turkey yet - shysters!

On a positive note I just got a text from out friends who fly to Chicago with BA at 3-45pm. They are on time and have been upgraded as well.  

Some you win ;-)
