Have you seen the prices , i know its half term. With Atlas finishing this weekend the prices are through the roof. Trying to get back for my brother in laws funeral. Larnaca silly prices. Tom from Flight holidays has tried every which way, including getting me from Laranca to Milan, Milan Heathrow back Gatwick Larnaca, unbelievable prices. My sister has flown back from Perth W Australia cheaper. Oh well back to the drawing board

You'll find this cruel.

Best to run back just before ones loved one has died, It's too late after they are dead. It means nothing to them, too late! So don't beat yourself up, send flowers or whatever the Irish/Welsh thing is to do and make appropriate apologies.

Richard, back off. Liz would have been there if at all possible. Go play with your bazooka facing towards you. Do not answer this on the Forum, if you need to answer me then e-mail me,my address is on my profile.



Liz forgive the idiot. I do hope you will manage to be with your family at this terrible time. Remember despite the above post everyone who know and love you are wishing you and your family time together at this sad time. XXXX

How does one run back before your loved ones die?????????

If we knew when our loved ones were going to move on to a better place

then we would all make the appropriate arrangements well in advance of

the very sad time of their demise.

Enough of this. About time we helped Lilli get back for the funeral, she has worked relentlessly for many charities, anyone for a donation to Lilli's flight appeal?

Lili & Guido - Dublin from Larnaca or Ercan - looks to be at least 560 each plus the RyanAir and in one case two changes which would be a total of three in each direction.

Good idea Paddy, it was one I had not thought about.

Or you could try getting a pegasus flight from Ercan to Berlin,



And then an Ryanair flight from berlin to Dublin



(make sure you do research on which airports they take off and land as there quite a few airports in berlin)



keeping trying

Easy jet has reasonable flights back to Gatwick from Larnaca.... ...... or sometimes if you just go to Larnaca airport they can get you on a flight through Thomas cook, you may have to wait but its an option...

Thank you for your suggestions. I will try some of these now. I have just got in from work and didnt see the thread asking for donations. Can I just point out that we are not asking for charity from anyone , I just wanted suggestions as we have with Tom exhausted all the ones we knew.Its because itshalf term that the costs are escalating. xx

Lilli we know that you wouldn't have wanted it put up, it was thoughtless.....



But do try and go to Larnaca, they do have seats spare on a lot of flights and the reps are so good at getting distressed people back to the UK.. All the best....

Lilli,



Yesterday I booked an atlas jet return ercan-stansted, flying tommorow, returning friday. Cost 330GBP thru Ankara. Dont know when you want or need to go but why not try one way with atlas, you will then have options from the uk on your return to either Larnaca or Ercan. Hope this helps, good luck anyway, I hope you can make it work. x

Hi Ceviz 10--- you cant post a new thread automatically because you have not posted enough yet.



Once you have built up your posting count to 20 it should come automatically.





If you want to post a new thread add it to this one and i will start new thread for you.
