Best Direct Airline to Dalaman

[kenkay]

Monarch for me as I like the wide bodied aircraft and the 20% family discount even better

Monarch for us because they are good flights and we get 23kg as well. Main reason is Tesco Clubcard though. Saves us a fortune

Easy jet had us sat on the plane for an hour while they explained how the plane has to fly over mountains to get to Turkey and so the plane is very cold.. They needed to get the fuel that they were putting in to the "correct" temperature!!  Not that it was late landing and they still needed to refuel..The captain also said that he could make up the time but the flight was 4hours 50 mins..  We had soup and a bacon sandwich both inedible.. Not impressed.. We are using them again  in August so we will see if things improve.

Easy jet definitely.
Good leg room, no reclining seats so no one in your lap.
Unlimited weight hand luggage.
Last flight over was great as regular updates about where we were and mountain ranges to look out for and never been delayed with them.
Turkish Airlines definitely best over all, if only they flew direct.

Flying out a coupe weeks ago the new Easyjet seats make a huge difference, reasonable comfort, not reclinable and a lot more leg room due to slimmer design! Like many I guess it's usually which airline fits plans at best cost, although if a straight choice will avoid TC with their poor service and 5kg hand luggage limit.

EJ when it works, works well. Newer planes, better seats, timing generally good over the years, beats all of the others from Gatwick.

Monarch could do with upgrading their planes as the seats are appalling especially for a 4 hour flight same as for TC.

KTHY was OK from Gatwick at the price but they went bang, not literally a couple of years ago  :

Was lucky that due to information posted on CBF I was able to secure 3 returns with EJ this year including extra leg room for a very reasonable price, so thanks for the info those that posted.

It's a shame Ryanair haven't got in yet. That would shake prices up a bit. Love them or hate them the planes are good and the legroom is more than adequate.

Got a Monarch for £260 each this year with 23kg plus hand luggage and seat choice. Flying end of May.

Big plus was being able to convert £200 Tesco Clubcard vouchers into £300 off the flights.

Easyjet every time for us.  Never had a bad flight with them.

That said, for some unknown reason, we are flying with Thomas Cook at the end of May.  I think they worked out cheaper than EJ so booked them.  I'm panicking now, reading all the bad reports about them.  Good job it's a one off!!!

Easy jet for us too, when we fly early in the season from Bristol, I just wish they flew from Cardiff too, we have to use TC from there, they have got to be the worst airline we have ever used.

I remember in 2004/5 there was a campaign, possibly started on CBF, to try and convince Easyjet to fly from the UK to Dalaman. They had somewhere on their website where you could make suggestions, and the idea was for hundreds of people to suggest Dalaman as a new destination.

Of course it was the stuff of dreams - the chances of Easyjet flying to Dalaman was just too ridiculous back then.
