flight prices

what has happene'd to skyscanner? flights apear tobe all indirect and best prices are turkish airlines

[heather07]

There is two little boxes at the side of the results page that has direct and indirect.  The results seem to default to this.  Untick the indirect and if there are any flights they should come up.

I did that, but my query is the prices, Dalaman to Gatwick Turkish Airlines £95-107 UK companies if they appear, £475-675 per person!!!!

Could it be school holiday time??#
Just looked for end of the month and it is still high.
Our holiday in October is costing £662 for two from Glasgow.  Deluxe room B+B
Flight only costs £671.00 for two.

See where you are coming from now Loz.

Turkish Airlines may have a promotion on because I have been checking late availability flights from Dalaman to Gatwick return for the past 6 weeks or so and TC haven't had any availability at all until about 4 weeks later and generally flights were indirect (TA) at about £600+ or with Thomson and Monarch in the region of £400+

A lot less  flights this year to Turkey by the operators has kept prices much higher this year.

I've been looking at  Jet2, Monarch etc to get a later flight back and extend our stay at the end of this month but for some reason they are either full or asking £500 one way (Dalaman to Manch) - why so expensive coming back to UK I wonder - not school hols?

Bluwise my thought exactly, I should have booked return flights at beginning of August when the cost was £95 each; what is afoot? Good to know we are not the only ones stranded, what a shame.   
Loz logged in as Gordon once again.

Could it be that a lot of people are trying to get back to UK at the end of summer holidays.  Less availability so the price has gone up. 
If a lot of people bought one way going out, they have a captive crowd that need to get back,  so charges go up.
The flight I am on has seats available going out but must be full coming back.

[Bluwise]

Yes, ours coming back to UK on 29th Sep shows as full now and the days immediately after are crazy prices.  It's a shame - 10 days would have been so much nicer than a week - wish I had looked to extend  sooner now  :

It has nearly come to the pount of taking out a residency yet again. However, i have eventually found our escape in the form of Turkish Airlines, £153 each. This includes meal and hold luggage. I booked this myself after going into the trsvel agents in Fethiye and being quoted £265 and 345 each for the same flight. I am now finding that i want to spend less and less time here, 6 weeks is enough, i cant wait to go home to a nice coo bed and sleep.
