Please check out this site before browsing the airlines detailed below. It offers the best deals offered by the airlines on the day that you check.
Direct Flights from UK to Izmir
The great news for the 2006 season was that British airways started flying 3 times a week direct from Gatwick. You can fly on a Friday, Sunday or Monday and prices start from £141 return but you need to get in quick to get the best deals.
Charter Flights: The cheapest option would normally be to book a charter flight to Izmir, Adnan Menderes (ADB). The flights run from May to October on Thursdays. Prices can vary between £120 to over £350.
Normally the later the flight is booked the cheaper it becomes. However, with this route you run the risk of not being able to get a flight for the time you have booked. The most expensive times tend to be bank holidays or school
holidays.
First Choice started flying direct to Izmir from Gatwick in 2008 and are a welcome addition and will hopefully help keep competition and prices healthy.
Scheduled Flights: It is also possible to get scheduled flights from Cyprus Turkish Airlines who offer a direct flight from Heathrow on Mondays and Saturdays, and Stansted airport on Fridays.
Other Airlines that Include a Stop Over in Germany
or Istanbul
Other airlines that fly to Izmir tend to include a stopover so may not be convenient. However it is sometimes possible to get a cheaper flight using this option especially with Lufthansa who appear to be cheaper in peak season than even Thomas Cook Airlines.
Flying with Lufthansa involves a 50 min stop over in Germany. However do not rule them out as they are a scheduled airline so the seats tend to be more comfortable and meals and entertainment are included.
Lufthansa offer the best deals we have found for peak season and beat Thomas Cook, Cyprus Turkish and Turkish Airline hands down.
You can not always find the best deal on there website so let us do the digging for you.
Turkish airlines stop over in Istanbul and are not normally as competitive as the other airlines but do offer a few superb deals along the way so still check them out.
During peak season between July and August the arrival day will be Thursdays but we can be more flexible depending on bookings during low season. Unlike charter flights the longer in advance you book a scheduled flight the cheaper is normally is. However, they can be more expensive ranging from £200 to £300. However, Child seats can be available at discounted
rates.
