Flights in March 2012

[Rimms]

Now that Aegean has gone and airlines like Easyjet dont start until May, which companies fly from Manchester to Dalaman in March?

[kenkay]

I've just checked on Monarch and it seems that they start on 26th March 2012.

Easyjet fly  from Manchester twice a week (Tues+Sat) from 27th March and throughout April.

Thomas Cook start on 29th March. Maybe TK are your only other option before that date. Unless you fly to Antalya with either Thomas Cook or Thomson, who both operate earlier in March.

It's like the old days

Last winter the cheaper options were either Manchester to Antalya or via Istanbul from either Stansted (with Pegasus) or Luton (Easyjet). I tried all 3 at different times & on balance preferred the Antalya trip.

Turkish Airlines did not have connecting flights from Manchester most of the time to Dalaman & were the most expensive option before adding in hotel stays in both directions & transport to / from the airport.

I have the same problem as i tend to go out of season as i rent my apartment in the summer,I can only find Pegasus that go from Stansted via Istanbul to Dalaman I used them last year was a long day but when you have no option what else can you do.Maybe some other airlines will look at this route because the demand is there.There are so many Brits that own property in Turkey that don't only want to go in the summer but all year.

If it is like this year I dont think that Dalaman is open for International flights till the end of March

We used Antalya airport a few times in the winter,think it was Thomson.

I am not sure which way we will go. The Turkish airline flight from Manchester looks OK but I think it will involve an overnight stay in Istanbul. I have done the Antalya flight many years ago but found the 4 hour drive across the mountains a real chore. But it seems I have no other alternatives. Thanks all for your help.
