    ok, 2 issues here.

    1. why 16 days / 15 nights?

    2. One of the main providers to holidays to Turkey (Holidays4U) have just gone bust. This means there are currently (approx) 50000 people who were booked to Turkey for the remainder of this year who now have no holiday whatsoever. Ok, hopefully the majority will be covered & get their money back, however you have possibly 50000 now wanting to re-book another holiday to Turkey.

    In a case of supply & demand, i can only see prices going up, not down.

    Thanks HXDave

    Well, we're going with the GF's family who are renting a private house, they have booked separate flights for 16 days (19th aug - 04th sept), we are leaving it late to book separate flights, so we may just go for 14nights...

    Yeah I heard about holidays4u and realise that there will be lots of people looking to book for Turkey again... im !!!!!!ed as I cant book until my passport is returned as I'm renewing it..

    having said that, 50,000 people are looking for holidays, but there are 50,000 more spaces in hotels and will the other companies may lay on more flights to accommodate the demand?
