    My friend and I are thinking of taking our boys out to her sisters apartment in Bodrum, Turkey. So we just need flights if possible please- can we better these prices?

    Flights - Easyjet - £84.99 outbound and £156.99 home (£241.98 total)
    Number of people travelling - 3 adults, 4 children (ages 5, 11, 12, 13)
    Dates 21st August - 4th September

    Thanks for any help with prices or any other suggestions.

    Also wondering - we will obviously have to pay transfers and our food when out there - would a package be cheaper even though we are getting the apartment for £360 for the two weeks? Thanks.
