Pegasus have a 25% off sale for flights up to 25th September. I don't know if prices quoted on website include the discount or not. It might be worth speaking to Pegasus direct or maybe Ankara Travel.

hi joandjelly been on there doesnt appear to show any discount and tried calling pegasus several times today but never got through. Also emailed Ankara travel and they came back with a one way price of £485 for them both and that was with Pegasus flight



Ive tried going onto turkish airlines site but it wont allow me to book from Lefkosa as anyone else had this difficulty

You may find it cheaper to book a single from Ercan to Istanbul or another european destination and then look for a flight from there with Easyjet etc.

Be careful with the Ercan/Istanbul/Easyjet option. I have done this and there is about 8 hours between the flights. Sabiha Gokcen airport has practically no facilities at all and 8 hours is a long time to have to keep a small child amused.

Thanks for all trying and the warnings of the long wait i dont think my grandson would be too happy waiting all that time especially as once he hits the UK he has to travel to cornwall so a very long days travel is already on the cards

ive just found another site which appears to have great prices called cyprus premier.com but it does not allow me to choose one way has any of you used this

I usually use Cyprus Turkish Airlines when flying from Manchester to Ercan, but you need to be quick to get the cheap flights. Cyprus Airways are also fairly reasonable if you fly into Larnaca.

Hi Jacko,



Flight one way from ECN to STN - the discount does not seem to be being applied for a one way from Ercan



£248 This Sunday

£X on Monday as only one seat is lext on the system

£228 On Wednesday or Thursday



All these could be full so next price up might apply by the time you contact me or another agency

Jacko you do not have your email on the members list so please can you email me at info@flightholiday.co.uk with a phone number too - I try not to do anything transactional on the BB's if you can also give me the travellers name as on the passport (+ title) and DOB if under 12 then I will hold a seat at the best price I can get.

Jacko just re read your message 1 - the available seats vary so the prices do too (often by the minute) . Those prices were what I could find for the flights up to the 25th as I thought that was the date.

Hi Jacko,



Iv'e only just managed to get this website name, and believe it or not the 2 people we were looking for flights for were going to Bristol on the 25th, the same day as you.



The nearest to Bristol we could get was Exeter, which is not too far off at

170 euros each from Larnaca.
