Phil, I could look till I was blue in the face there will never be flights from Aberdeen for £51.00.  Looked last week for flights in May/June price was £678.00 Sale price today £678.00 for two of us, so no change.  Also looked last week at flights in September £580.00 had a look at the sale tonight price is £778.00!!!  Some sale.

I just got a bargain with them for September, Manchester to Dalaman £51 plus bags. You just have to keep your eye on them as they go up and down all the time.

I have never ever seen a flight that cheap from Scotland phil

I booked 2 flights last night for Easter @£647.
I got an email this morning from "Fly Thomas Cook - Payday flight Sale - up to £30 off‏"
I have just checked the same flights and they are now £20 dearer.
Some sale, how they get away with this is beyond me.

I was booking a flight for my mother for mid-April and last week is was advertised (one way) as £105

This week it is in the sale - reduced from £125 to £115

I agree - they clearly aren't governed by the same retail laws - probably because it is an internet sale - whereby you have to really have something on sale at that price in the recent past for a minimum number of days.

Although when I did finally book it - they were only £19 one-way for her 20 kilos whereas Thomson coming back are £24

It really is about time we saw some standardisation of necessary options was legislated for?  :(

Just as a follow on from my earlier post about the flight for my mother.
I booked on Monday at £115 in a "sale" ending midnight Tuesday.

However after Loz's post on I checked again and it had gone down to £99

This morning (after the sale) - it is £94

Am I glad it is only my inheritance I am spending !!

Seriously I am thinking of making an official complaint to Watchdog or similar as this is blatant second hand car dealer tactics >:D

The way they will get away with it is because the price of seats increases as the plane fills, therefore the more people that book the higher the price goes, sale or not.

Sorry but that must be Royal "We" as the cheapest flight I can remember to Dalaman was £200.00 return.
Maybe there was flight from Scotland in the 1960's as low as £78.00.
I have booked our flights fpr just under £800.00(for two return) and that is only including suitcases.  As T.C. have franchised our flights from Aberdeen to Turkish Airline, so we know there will be no pre-booking seats together and we don't even know if there will be food on the flight...  Last year when this happened we complained to the Trading Standard who were appalled that T.C. sold flights to customers and then told them they had no idea if they could book seats together or if they could get meals .
