AnadoluJet

Nice to see a new airline at BHX,but i wonder with mouth watering fares how long they will be around.People have or getting into a habit by checking prices and with accomadation thrown in.

I thought also after a week they would've dropped. I'm sure they will settle to a much much lower price very soon. Nobody will buy seats at those fares. Give em time......he says!

Looking at AnadoluJet flights from BHX and STN to DLM in early August, prices are £1458 and £499 respectively. I noticed a week ago the prices were very high and was hoping they'd have dropped by now. Hopefully it's a sign of lots of interest in the flights messing up the pricing algorithms.

The fares still need to settle down and probably will do so soon. Some BHX-DLM fares are £806 across a whole week, and given this was only recently launched, it’s implausible that the cabins would be that full already.

Exactly the same happened with the MAN and EDI Turkish flights. Fares sat at £700+ for about 2-3 weeks before they settled into the ‘normal’ brackets we see now.

Carriers are in such a rush to launch lights to ‘high demand’ points that sometimes they just load the basic fare brackets up, and then worry about adjusting them later. They will get there, just need to give them time. If Turkey is offering restriction free access for all Brits this summer, they aren’t exactly going to struggle selling seats, even last minute ones.

Very interesting article about this summers capacity to DLM and AYT, worth a read.

Fares on the BHX flights to DLM and AYT now seem to have levelled out, and are in line with, and some cases slightly lower than other U.K. offerings by Turkish Airlines.

That's good to hear

New flight times don’t look as attractive as the original flight times!

So with all these flights to Tukey and everywhere else opening back up, will anybody be able to afford to go abroad this year.

Energy prices doubling will have a massive effect on the economy as well as the Tourism industry.

The Dalaman to Birmingham route resumes this summer starting June 20th. See tweet for flight information.

Looks like the planned Dalaman flights have now been removed, nothing bookable on their website anymore

DLM confirmed axed
AYT will start in April and IST goes double daily with A321

 

[Brum X]

Unfortunately Summer 2022 will now have a new menace to deal with as we recover from Covid, and this is the War in Ukraine which isn't a million miles away from Turkey.

Imho people will be jittery about booking holidays to the Eastern mediteranean and will probably stay nearer to home so therefore back to Spain and Portugal ??

What do we think ?

 

[Matt995]

Brum, personally don't think holiday bookings for Turkey will be affected, most of the holiday resorts are the other side of Turkey, so the other side to the Black Sea, and I believe the exchange rate is favourable for us Brits, so can't see an issue at present.

 

[Karl C]

The distance between Kiev and the Muğla region in Turkey (Dalaman and Bodrum gateway) is similar to the distance between BHX and Alicante in Spain. I think Turkey and Greece will do just fine this summer. One thing's for sure.....there'll be a lot less Russians on holiday here and zero Ukrainians this summer....unless they call an end to this atrocity.
Matt's right...a weak lira and well priced holidays will probably make summer 22 a bonanza for the Turkish economy. Sure needs it!!
Couple days ago had my AnadoluJet flight canx from BHX to DLM on the 12th May. In this instance I'm glad, as the flight times were absolutely naff. Better flight times may have helped. Corendon's are much better timed and am using them on the 21st April to BHX and TK via IST back on the 14th May. Cheaper (by far) to use other airports down sowf, but BHX is a winner for accessibility and ease to get through. Supporting the local no matter the cost from now on. Just hope the security line issues have calmed down a bit in a month. One can hope.

Hope you all have a cracking summer and get to use BHX as much as possible
