Two pieces of good news for those with an interest in Altinkum, whether you're just looking for a decent Flight for your holiday or are thinking of buying property and are looking for evidence that this part of Turkey is as up-and-coming as we say it is...

Firstly, hooray for BA! Having seen my snide comments about the cost of their flights and the inconvenience of having to fly via Istanbul, British Airways have responded by introducing direct flights between London Gatwick and Izmir, starting from 26th March. A little birdie (thanks BH!) has told me that prices start from £140 RETURN, including taxes! The little research I've done seems to back this up so get booking before they all sell out. BA, a little credit for the idea, and some commission for the bookings, please!

Secondly, hooray for Thomas Cook! Whose summer 2006 flights to Bodrum start on the 1st April. Sample cost , return to Gatwick - £122.61 per person! Again, commission due on any bookings, I think!

(Incidentally we DON'T get commission on any flights you book whether through our recommendation or otherwise. Our policy when we ARE offered commission from our suppliers is to pass the savings onto you, whether through a discount or additional service for free - just one of the many reasons why it's good to choose Turquoise).
