I've just tried to book some flights for next summer. Arriving july 15th and coming home 17th August.... The robbing ba***rds are trying to charge £319 per seat! And on top of that my 12 year old boy is now apparently an adult! Can anyone help me out as we really can't afford that for our family of 5. Arrrgggghhhhhh!!!!

Are you looking at CTA or Pegasus or Turkish Airlines? Pegasus have just released summer flights at cheap prices.

maria 1975 - just checked on Pegasus Website and for the dates you require the prices are coming up at around £255 return per adult. Bit better than £319, but not much, I'm afraid.

higgi - when you Google Pegasus Airlines, use the first heading that comes up on their web page. There is a box there to put in which dates you would like to book for. It will then display their cheapest prices for the times you want.



We booked last Friday Stanstead - Istanbul - Ercan return for June and we paid just over £80.00 each return. There were a few of us on here who managed to get those prices, but I'm not sure how many will be left now.



Hope this helps.

Just found some flights for £254 each, then it's asking for extra for seats and baggage!! It really is no wonder there's no tourists out there! my parents are flying to Boston at christmas for cheaper than they could get to TRNC. We do need to fly into Ercan as we are getting married so apparently we have to fly to Ercan.



Thanks for your suggestions. I will call them tomorrow Simbas, thankyou.

maria1975 - I think you'll find the extra they are asking for is if you want to take any additional bags and pre-book your seats.

Hi Maria,

We booked with Easyjet for this year, Aug flights for £82 return inc baggage! At the moment they have not released flights for July & Aug, they did so last year around the 2nd week of December, and we cooked as soon as they were released and got them at the cheapest rate, so if you wait a bit you may get a bargain then.

chezzi - I thought Maria had to go into Ercan, as they are getting married????????



Must say, Easyjet flights are very reasonable. We've flown with them to other destinations and have no complaints whatsoever.



Did you mean "booked" as soon as they were released as opposed to peeling the spuds?

Thanks Cooper & Lili



Maria - I am in the office right now (I wont be for long though) - if you want I am happy to try to assist right now - Skype flightholiday or give me your phone number and I will call you Tom info@flightholiday.co.uk



Will try to get you the best deal but we would add our booking fee to the Pegasus price (per booking not per passenger)
