Fly Thomas Cook flights are outrageous this year, we let family and friends have our place for nothing just the cost of clean and bills, yet this year if they are holidaying for 1 week or 2 they have found better deals by going else where in the world, our niece is going 1 week all inclusive to Sicily £500 for 2.

you are defo right Toky, I always delete my cookies after learning about it on here, the other week I was looking at Monarch flights and forgot to do the cookie thing after, about an hour later I had an email from Monarch thanking me for my recent search for a flight to Dalaman and as I had not booked anything they sent me a link to some alternative destinations defo worth doing it after all flight searches  :)

If you look on travel supermarket.com or skyscanner the prices are always cheaper than on the main flythomascook or Monarch sites. Same flights 2 greatly varying prices.

Monarch for Gatwick and Luton (not checked other regions) have so far been cheaper than FTC sometimes by more than £50.  we have managed to get Monarch flights for £54 each including 10KG of hand luggage each (no need for hold luggage), this will be our 3rd flight with Monarch this year and could well be our 4th.
Clearing cookies also works for Quidco, the affiliate sites majority of the time will not offer the best option, Quidco etc could offer a bargain at £60 yet going direct to the dealer may show the better deal at £50.

Two reasons why it is quieter this year. More hotels are going all inclusive and restaurant and bar prices are increasing at an alarming rate.

My family and I are struggling to find flights to Dalaman full stop, FTC is showing very few outbound flights from Leeds-Bradford, Humberside, Manchester, Liverpool yet there are plenty of flights coming back into those airports! Could TC be 'hiding' flights? Surely if the outbound flights are booked up the inbound ones should be? Unless lots of northerners are emigrating this summer!

I booked flights yesterday from Gatwick for September cost was reasonable .
Going on the seating availability the flight seemed empty so I am expecting a flight change same as in May
This was with Monarch .
