Our Cheap Flights To Turkey From The UK
Our flights are generally with Onur Air, which is Turkey's favourite low-fare airline providing a safe yet simple no-frills service that enables Aegean Flights to drive flight prices as low as they can go (although we may change this carrier for operational reasons).
___
Onur Air
With the Aegean Flights routes being flown by a young fleet of efficient modern Airbus aircraft, you can compare the Onur flying experience with any of the popular UK low-cost airlines, although we'd hasten to add that Onur aircraft are not painted in bright orange.
Most flights will have an in-flight trolley providing snacks and a bar service (dependent on availability). As with most budget airlines please note that this is not a free service and we’ve found most people choose to take a sandwich with them, especially when travelling with children. Onur Air does not offer in-flight entertainment and is a non-smoking airline.
___
Flight Timings
The flight timings shown on this website and on your booking confirmation are based on the 24-hour clock system and are for guidance only. Final timings are shown on your tickets, so please check these carefully on receipt, and contact us at once with any queries.
Flight time is around four and a half hours from the UK depending on which of our convenient local airports you choose.
___
Check In
You must check-in at your departure airport at least 2 hours before departure and your initials and the spelling of your name must be identical on your ticket and in your passport. If you have made a late booking and are receiving tickets on departure, we or your travel agent will advise you of your check-in details when you book.
___
Baggage Allowance
This is 20 kg (44 lb) for each person. Baggage weighing more than the baggage allowance will be subject to a charge payable at check-in. Single items of luggage weighing over 32 kg will not be accepted by the airline for health and safety reasons. A passenger can take on the aircraft one small piece of hand luggage weighing less than 5 kg (11 lb), with a maximum size of 45 cm x 35 cm x 20 cm. Infants under the age of 2 on the date of their return flight have no baggage allowance. Carriage of all excess luggage and sports equipment is subject to the aircraft capacity on the day of departure.
___
Lost Or Damaged Baggage
Under The Carriage By Air Act 1961, if you do not notify us of any loss or damage to your baggage within 7 days of the discovery of the loss/damage, we will have no liability to you.
___
Flight Delays
We will keep you informed if your outbound or return flight is delayed. Most travel insurance companies offer some form of compensation for major delays and in order to take advantage of this you must send travel delay claims to your insurance company. You can obtain details of the flight delay from the airline.
___
Pregnancy
If you are pregnant, you should check with your doctor that it is safe for you to travel. Airlines require a medical certificate of fitness to fly if you are more than 28 weeks pregnant at the time of your return flight. After 32 weeks of pregnancy you will not be allowed to fly. Please check your travel insurance policy for any restrictions that apply to travelling whilst pregnant.
___
Infants
A charge of £50 is made for infants under 2 years of age on the date of their return flight. Infants under 6 months must sit on an adult’s lap and wear an infant lap-strap. Infants under 2 years must sit on the adult’s lap secured by an extension seat belt provided by the airline.
___
Alcohol On Aircraft
You are not allowed to drink your own alcohol on a flight, whether you bought it on board, on holiday or in the UK.
___
Disorderly Behaviour
The captain has authority over the aircraft and passengers at all times when they are boarding or on board. He/she may prevent you from travelling if you are considered unfit to do so, or if you pose a danger to the aircraft or passengers. The captain will exercise this right if, for example, you are found to be drunk before or after boarding, if you smoke on board or use threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour. In those circumstances, we or the airline, at our reasonable discretion, may terminate your holiday, and we will not be responsible for completing your holiday arrangements.
Aegean Flights and the airline will also not be liable for any refund, compensation or other costs you may have to pay. We may also seek compensation from you for any losses caused by your behaviour (e.g. the cost of diverting an aircraft). Disruption on board an aircraft is a criminal offence and you may be prosecuted.
___
Seat Allocation
Seats are allocated at check-in, on a first come, first served basis. If you want particular seat positions, it is a good idea to check in as early as possible. We are unable to reserve seats in advance and there are other safety restrictions in place relating to passengers adjacent to exits and /or safety equipment.
___
Pre-Bookable Wheelchairs
Wheelchairs need to be pre-booked at least 4 days before departure. We try to ensure that wheelchair passengers will be first to embark and last to disembark.
___
Departure From Your UK Airport
Before travelling to the airport plan your journey well to allow enough time for possible delays on the roads, car parking or using public transport. You must check-in at least two hours prior to the departure time shown on your flight ticket. The timings shown on the flight ticket are the latest confirmed times and flight codes, these may differ from those printed on earlier holiday confirmations or in our brochure.
On arrival at the airport you should look on the departure screens for your flight number and check in at the desk shown. In the event of any problems at the airport contact our representatives at the airport – see details under Section 6 Airport Information. Aircraft seats are allocated on a first come first served basis so arrive early to ensure that you are seated with friends and family.
We cannot accept responsibility for any additional expenses or the cost of re-arranged flights for passengers who miss their confirmed flights. It is therefore vital that your check-in early with the correct documentation.
___
Baggage & Security
The luggage allowance weight is printed on your flight ticket and is usually limited to 20kgs per person. No single item of luggage should weigh more than 32kgs. Please ensure that your luggage is labelled and is clearly marked with the owners name, destination, and resort/hotel name. One item of hand luggage per person, limited to 5kgs and small enough to fit into the overhead lockers is also permitted. Infants under 2 years of age on the day of return do not have any luggage allowance.
In recent times exceptional security arrangements have been put in place from time to time and we would strongly advise all flyers to check if any additional measures controlling hand baggage etc. are in place.
___
Dangerous Goods
The Dangerous goods law applies to all luggage carried on aircraft, both hand and hold luggage. You are advised to keep the amount of hand luggage to a minimum to permit easy scrutiny of it’s contents. If you are in doubt about whether you are permitted to carry a particular item on an aircraft you should contact the airline direct. Items subject to scrutiny include:
• No blades are permitted to be carried in hand luggage. This includes; scissors, tweezers, knifes and needles.
• Combustibles, such as lighter fuel, refills and lighters containing unabsorbed fuels are all forbidden.
• Electric Wheelchairs - you are advised to contact the individual airline who can advise of the suitability of the battery for aircraft carriage.
___
Unruly Behaviour
For the comfort and safety of both passengers and air crew the airlines used by Aegean Flights operate a strict policy regarding the disorderly behaviour of any passenger whilst embarking/disembarking or whilst onboard an aircraft. The airline is within its rights to refuse boarding to anyone they consider to be unruly or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any costs which the passenger may incur as a result of being refused boarding or being off loaded are the responsibility of the individual concerned, and under no circumstances will refunds be given. In extreme cases, passengers could be liable to criminal prosecution.
___
During Your Flight
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
The risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis occurring while travelling by air is extremely low. It can be caused by prolonged periods of non movement resulting in a blood clot forming in the limbs, normally the lower leg. The danger is that the clot can then break off and travel to the lungs causing significant illness and on rare occasion’s death. However, there are a number of precautions that you can take to further reduce the risk:
• Periodic exercise of feet and legs.
• Walking around the aircraft where and when feasible.
• Wear recommended elastic stockings.
• Drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids to prevent dehydration.
Those persons believed to be particularly prone to DVT should consult with a doctor prior to the journey. Further advice is available from the Department of Heath website www.doh.gov.uk
___
Smoking
All our aircraft have a no smoking policy.
___
In Flight Entertainment
In the interests of economy our flights do not have in flight entertainment so please remember to pack a book to read or some small games or toys to keep the children occupied.
___
Visa - DONT FORGET!
Before you go through passport control you need to pay the local charge for your visa - every time there's an arrival from the UK we see people queue for passport control only to find they have forgotten to get their visa, which means doubling up on your queing - so please get your visa first! The Turkish Government levies a £10 per person charge (incl. Infants) for a visa to all British nationals arriving in Turkey. The amount is payable in sterling cash at a special desk which is clearly marked. Please try to have the correct money available. Scottish notes are not accepted.
Lost Baggage
Regrettably, from time to time, bags can go astray. If any item of baggage does not appear send one member of your party through customs to inform the representative and make sure that your coach does not go without you, and to ask for assistance if you need it. The loss of a bag needs to be reported to 'Celebi' who have an office inside the baggage hall, and everyone there speaks good English. They will help you complete a PIR form (Property Irregularity Form) and they will cross check the baggage receipts against the bags that you have collected, they will also need to see your passport. Keep a copy of the completed PIR form - you will need to exchange it for your luggage when it arrives. Celebi will deliver the luggage to you when it has been traced.
Transfer
If you have booked one of our optional transfers, after collecting your baggage and leaving the terminal you will directed to a coach which will take you to your resort. We do try to accompany every coach, but occasionally this is not possible. Our coaches all have a non smoking policy. If you have booked a private transfer in the UK see the Holidays 4U representative in the arrivals area and they will direct you to your driver.
