Budget airline launches mega cheap fares with £8 flights to Turkey
YOU could fly to Turkey for less than a tenner – but you have to book in the next two days.
Low cost Turkish airline Pegasus has launched €9 (£7.40) tickets for Brits flying from the UK.
The cheap flights can be found when departing from London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh.
The routes included are:
- London to and from Ankara
- London to and from Istanbul
- London to and from Izmir
- Manchester to and from Istanbul
- Edinburgh to and from Istanbul
- Birmingham to and from Istanbul
And the destinations you can fly to from there are the coastal resorts of Bodrum, Dalaman and Antalya, when changing at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport.
To take advantage of the cheap flights, Brits have to sign up to the airline’s loyalty programme BolBol, although this is free.
The flights don’t include taxes and have to be booked either today or tomorrow.
However, travel can take place anytime between March 30 and October 2025 next year.
The cheapest fares are likely to sell out quickly, with 200,000 seats on offer.
The tickets are part of the airline’s Light package which only includes an underseat bag.
But you can easily add checked luggage for just €5 (£4.20), as part of the deal.
Last year, Pegasus airline launched flights from Birmingham Airport to Istanubl.
These fares usually start from £39.99.
If you’re tempted by the super cheap flights, here is everything you need to know about the holiday destinations you can go to.
Bodrum
Also dubbed Turkey’s St Tropez, Bodrum is loved by celebs from Kate Moss to Mick Jagger.
It has 65 beaches to choose from, although you should also visit Halicarnassus, which once held the Mausoleum — a Wonders of the Ancient World.
Jet2 also launched more flights to Bodrum this year, extending into the winter season.
Antalya
Antalya welcomes more than one million Brits a year.
Beaches follow the city’s crescent-shaped bay, with a pebble beach and crystal-clear water along the flank bordering the new city and a long expanse of sand stretching away from the picturesque old port.
It is home to the the Land of Legends theme park — visible for miles around thanks to its towering Disney-style castle.
Dalaman
Dalaman’s famous attraction is the rock tombs of Fethiye, built into the huge cliff faces.
But there is also a huge beautiful coastline of beach hotels to choose from, including the 4H Holiday Village AQI Turkiye and Sunway Hotel.
Next year, Sun Express will start flying from Newcastle to
Dalaman.
