Summer 2012

Will flights go down at all or do I book now?

August flights £350, will they go down or do I book now?

I think it's unlikely, though maybe not impossible, that they'll go down.  If you are happy with the flights and price then I would book.  We don't normally go abroad in August so have no idea whether these are good prices or not.   But to give you an example, we booked our flights for May 2012 with Easyjet as soon as they were released in July.  Paid £237 for the two of us including baggage.  The same flights are now over double that.  

Bit of a lottery I know, good luck!

Took the plunge and paid £350 now, fingers crossed they don't drop!

[marina]

Well I'm pretty sure ours won't drop from what we paid so I hope yours don't either!

I got the same deal as Marina for May but £350 in August is TOO rich for my blood.  I think a lot of people will think the same and maybe look for a different destination next year.  £350 for a flight plus accommodation when you can go to Mexico AI for about £600 for me is no contest.

Mexico AI in August for 2 weeks £1500 minimum?

We are used to paying around £600.00 for two flights to Dalaman whatever time we go.  We think it's worth it as we want to come to Calis and love being there.  
I had a friend who went to Mexico this year.  She was telling me just how expensive it was for food drink and entertainment. One night they spent £200.00 to get into an AI nightclub, which apparently was the norm.  
So, swings and roundabouts, it may not be cheap to get to Calis, but, in my opinion it's worth every penny to be somewhere I want to be because I love it, rather than fly somewhere I don't want to be because the flight was cheap.

Totally agree Jacqui,

If you know you love the place then pay for it and enjoy..... as we do:D

In my opinion £350 is over the odds, and I would expect a price around £280 to £300 early next year (after Xmas) when the tour operators start pushing holidays. Most charter flight operators are yet to release their flights.
We are paying £200 each in August with easyjet, but these were booked on day of release.

I agree with Jacqui. We have never had a bargain flight to Dalaman and have been going for a number of years now. We have taken the via Istanbul route during off peak season. If you have to book flights on certain dates and cant be flexible, you wnat to fly from a certain airport and want to book with one of the bigger companies so you know you will actually get your flight when the time comes then you pay the cash. I enjoy my holidays and look forward to them and will pay a little extra to make sure I get there as planned.
