Onur Air Advice please (Turkey)

Hi people,
I wonder if you could help me, I'm trying to find a return flight to Bodrum (Turkey) via Onur air, but when I do a google search, I only get internal Turkish flights, although when I was there last week I saw Bodrum/UK flights. Does anyone have any idea how I can see the flight availabilty please. I am looking to go at the end of October to pick up some documentation I need and to return some stuff back to the UK.
Thanks in advance,
Stormy

    Onur Air's flights to the UK are charter flights. This means the flights are for tour operators, and Onur Air are not allowed to sell tickets on the flights, all tickets must be sold by the tour operator.

    I know a lot of Onur Air flights are for Goldtrail Holidays who can be found athttp://www.goldtrail.co.uk.

    You could also try searching the normal charter flight websites, Airflights, Flightline, A1travel etc... these will show the availability of flights with most of the tour operators/airlines.

  • Thank you everyone, that's great. I think I can get a flight via Goldtrail, although I am unable to get a return flight with Aegean Air..............Perhaps I'll just have to stay there!!!

  • Often a full holiday with Goldtrail is as cheap as flight only.Just pick the cheapest apts. You dont have to use them though. That way you will get a "FREE" transfer to resort and back.

    Onur Air are stopping providing full meals from November 2007.

    Goldtrail haven't bothered to inform their customers of this fact, even though they have paid for holidays including meals and have every reason to expect a meal when they board their flight.

    Now, as far as I'm concerned, this is unacceptable and Goldtrail should be refunded the implicit cost of a meal within their holiday package prices.

    My travel agent don't seem very bothered that Goldtrail have made this change - they didn't know about it until I asked them to check with Goldtrail. I've also e-mailed Goldtrail directly about it and they are just ignoring me.

    Anyone have some sensible advice as to how to take this forward?

    Take a sandwich , worry about the big issues only.Most of us get 70 years if we are lucky- enjoy as much of it as you can-stress is a killer. An airline meal is hardly worth using up valuable oxygen, paper or ink complaining about

    Hi All,
    Managed to book a flight with Aegean flights on Onur air, their website states meals are no longer available. Although I first tried to book with www.cheapflightseats.com and there was an option on there to pre pay for meals, although they are now not available!
    Anyway, thanks for all the help off you guys.

    I'm not getting stressed. But when you are talking about meals for 3 people and Dalaman airport has a reputation for being the most expensive in the world for meals, it's not good to find that the meals you were expecting are no longer coming.

    It would have been even worse if I had only found out on the plane, which is what would almost definitely have happened if I hadn't been browsing on a different company's website.

    Whoop-de-doo. Goldtrail have now (three weeks before departure) cancelled our entire holiday because (presumably) they've under-sold seats and therefore cancelled the entire charter flight. :mad:
