fly thomas cook

Anyone explain as to how/ why this has happened. I want to fly from LGW to Antalya staying 10 nights. I've originally selected the flights on the above website going out on the 25/09, returning 05/10. Original price £455 for two adults and a 3 yr old child. This quote was on 14/09, today 18/09 the same flights now priced at £686. I thought flights closer to the date wouldbe cheaper, obviously not. Anyone have any ideas who i could fly out with at a reasonable price

  • Don't mind either, but want to stay at the xanadu resort in belek, by booking direct with the hotel, my 3 year old son stays for free. If there was a good package deal there i would consider it. I also thought of just trying to get a very cheap package deal out there but basically to just use the deal for the flights and actuallly stay at my chosen destination, is that possible?

    Supply and demand, and more specifically yield management. The tickets at the price you originally found have been sold, so you have been offered tickets in the next category.
    Gone ... or have I?
