Flights to Turkey this summer?

Hi all,
Well after last year's Goldtrail fiasco, I'd like to book this summer's flights without hassle, but still quite reasonably. I keep hearing that there are deals around this year but I'm still struggling to get anything like last year's price for our flights.
Does anyone have recommendations for the best companies to book with this summer?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. They are who we ended up going with after losing our Goldtrail flights last year but annoyingly they don't fly on the date we want to go this summer!

I have just booked through sunshine.co.uk (no connection) after days of searching for cheap hol in aug. they do just flights too and found them really competative.

look at justsunshine.co.uk, holidays4u.co.uk & wings abroad. All 3 are tour operators who specialise in turkey, and not 2 bit 'online' agencies who dump on you when things go wrong. All 3 are normally available through most independant agents too, and from my experience offer some good selection of flights, hotels & holidays. Most will use the Onur air flights, so should be quite a good selection to choose from, depending on which route / dates you are looking at.
Regards

Perhaps the answer to your question is in your question. Last year Goldtrail dumped thousands and thousands of Turkey seats on the market at very cheap prices. This introduced artificial competition and over capacity. The bigger operators were able to drop prices and compete, the difference being that they could sustain their cheaper prices, whereas Goldtrail couldn't and ended up bankrupt.
With Goldtrail gone, and less seats to Turkey this year, the market has corrected.0
