82 + 62 = 144 x 2 = 288. Sorry, how is that "no cheaper"?

Hi , Deniz1 i think you will find that the flight from Turkey to Ercan Is £62 return thats what i was told this morning . Anyway Pegasus Stanstead to Ercan is £282 return on the 1st of may and is still available , a bit better than £400

Suzy - I think Dermici is allowing for the add on costs of the other route and some risk factor that the flights migh not fly/match etc.



Dermici - it might be that the dates you have chosen are already rather full. With two bank holidays much of the month is fully loaded. If we can help email me off board or from the web site.

Thanks but she lives 30 mins from stanstead i have checked the monarch flights and it is a little cheaper but add on the cost of getting to larnaca and back its about the same.

Is she flexible on dates and does she live near Gatwick? It's possible to do an Easyjet flight to Larnaca for roughly £150 return including luggage but if she has to stick to specific dates it could still work out very expensive!

I will check with her for dates and email you she has M S so cannot hang around for hours waiting for a connecting flight as she cannot feel her legs and its very tiring for her.

Never paid over £200 for a return flight with Pegasus. If it's more then try being flexible by a day or 2 as that can bring it down a bit... GOOD LUCK.

Dermici - Please get her to call me - at IAH we are more than a little conversant with her problems.

(I jointly chair my local MS group. etc)

Remember when booking to ask for wheelchair assistance, then she won't be standing around.

The only way generally to get cheap flights to the TRNC is to book early. Most airlines release flight dates 10 months in advance we are coming out Mid May by CTA two tickets cost us £316.00
