Extra long flight?
« on: June 26, 2010, 17:53:13 PM »
Booked to fly from Aberdeen to Dalaman on Tuesday on Flight SGX 202  It leaves Aberdeen at 0900 and arrives Dalaman at 1715.Taking into account the time difference it means a 6 hour and 15 min. flight it meant to be direct. Any ideas anyone?

Not certain about the exact terminology but there is a difference between direct and non-stop.

Direct ...... no change of plane but may touch down to pick up at other airport.

Non stop ..... no stops!

I would check that you are not calling into another UK airport.

Which airline is that?  We went with TC in May and it was about 4hours 30minutes.

I believe that flight may be landing at Glasgow.
This was mentioned on Tripadvisor earlier this week, the poster had said that he had received an Email about a change of both the routing and who the flight was with. Looks like Goldtrail or one of their subsidiaries

Perhaps Onur air can't afford Turkish fuel prices  ;)

I would check your flight is actually leaving from ABZ as my sisters flight on the tuesday has been cancelled by the same airline and had to change to Glasgow, worth checking out as id heard that all tuesday flights were cancelled.
