Flights in March 2012

I did Antalya last winter - going it wasn't so bad just a very long day but coming back my flight got in too late to get the last bus to Fethiye - I decided it was a good excuse to spend a couple of nights in Antalya - booked a 5* all inclusive at a very cheap rate in December - and used A2B for the transfer from the Aiport to the hotel.  Just got the local dolmus to the Otogar when we were due to come hom and had spent a relaxing morning in the pool and sauna before we did the 4 hour journey.   Lovely and relaxing  :-)

I just noticed that the Turkish airlines flight from Manchester has a connecting flight down to Dalaman and so no need to book into a hotel. Your idea also sounds nice Sandy, we did something similar 10 years ago when we went in November to buy the house and we booked into the Deadaman Resort (I think it was called) in Antalya. The only problem was that we hated the place and we also did not particularly like Antalya and we found it vey unfriendly which is out of character for Turkey.    

It looks like its Turkish airlines for us.

George if you are quick you can book with BA from Manchester on 1 March (goes interconnecting via Heathrow) to Istanbul for £110 each.  It leaves at 07.10 arrives Istanbul at 15.35.  You can then catch the eveningTurkish Airlines flight down to Dalaman which goes at 18.50 and works out about £40 each - not bad £150 each for that time of the year.  Hope to see you soon.

The trip to Antalya only takes about 2-21/2 hours now as there is a new road in part and a lot of the road has also been widened
