We were booked to fly 3/6 Glasgow Dalaman 20.45 returning 14/6 17.40...Got email these flights cancelled . Got the option of money back or change to 2/6 to 16/6.. Had to book extra nights in apartment which fortunately they were able to give us. More expensive though. Change transfers. Original email said flights same time. When we accepted them got flights through 09.30 outbound and 06.30 return..Had to book an overnight stay at airport more money...Option of changing flight company £ 200 to £300 dearer... :(

Ally441;

You should have phoned them to complain about the email and then the conformation, they tried that with us and I pointed out the email that they had sent and they said there is more than one flight that day and changed them back again, bloody chancers!

Like Ally 441 my flights have also been changed, in fact Ally 441 will be getting on the plane that I have just returned from Dalaman

I had originally booked to go out at 20.45 and return back in Glasgow about 18.00. We are now out at 09.30 and have the night flight coming back which i hate.

What hacks me off about this is that I had not been told about the change. I had logged onto Aegean website to check my flight out time when I noticed the change. Luckiliy I had not booked my transfers. I have complained not that it will do any good, and they have advised they will check for alternative flights, not holding my breath about this

Same here, smc - in fact, it was only when reading of flight changes and cancellations on another forum that I became concerned and decided to ring Aegean to check our flights. They demanded to know how I'd found out about it! Shouldn't they be the ones to inform me?
Anyway, we were offered alternative flights free of charge for the previous day going out, which suits us fine as it means an extra day in Icmeler - just have to pay for an extra day in the hotel. Aegean's communications certainly aren't the best though...I'm just praying we'll have no more changes!!

I think that's finally it for us for Aegean Flights. Every year there have been one, two or even three changes to flight times from booking right up until a couple of weeks before we flew. We put up with it all because their prices were so good. Four or five years ago, we paid an amazing £89 each return. Since then it's gone up quickly and this year was over £300 each. They offered flights from Leeds this year so we were happy to book them a few months ago.

During the week an amateurish email advised us that flights from Leeds had been cancelled without any reason. I 'phoned today to ask why and was informed that it was 'for operational reasons' - what the heck does that mean in plain speak? I had to 'phone three times to organise a refund and was then told it would take 3-5 working days to appear back in my account. Meanwhile, I booked flights from Leeds with Jet2 that are considerably more expensive now and I bet the money leaves my account before 3-5 working days!!

Not happy at all Aegean - it's not good enough.

Same here, stopped using them last year as the last 4 sets of flights were significantly altered. Going with Jet2 this time, not used them before so fingers crossed...

Just some info. for anyone booked on East Mids to Dalaman on the 10th July 2011. I had an email advising a time change of 2 hours later due to operational reasons. Not a big deal you say, but now Aegean have phoned to check I had the email which I thought strange and when pushed advised the plane will land at Bodrum first for around 1 hour and then go onto Dalaman.

Looking on Aegean's website the changes are only this flight and what they have done is merge the Bodrum and Dalaman flights leaving East Midlands within 2hrs of each other.

I have swapped onto the Birmingham flight the day before, living 30 mins from each airport makes this easy.

Hope this is useful info for someone.

Hi Tony, you off to Turkey again? If you need to change your flights, there is an administration charge of £30 per person plus you have to pay the difference in flight prices. Hope this helps.

It was nice to meet you in Gumbet, hope you enjoyed it. Are you returning there or are you off back to Marmaris again?

I'm back in England for a few weeks but can't wait to go back in August for another three months!

Got an email today from Aegean Flights, our flight out this Thursday has been changed from 20.45 to 21.45 not much difference but just a heads up for anyone else.

Have been pricing flights to Bodrum with aegean flights but can't get any flights past July 2012 and we don't want to go until September. Do they not fly to Bodrum as late in the year as September as we would like to book with them. They seem to be reasonably priced at the minute.

The flights for 2012 go as far as November, which seems to include Bodrum, Have another look, as the prices have gone up since last week, so you have to be quick to get a bargain!

They don't have any flights on sale from Belfast after July to Bodrum but they do to Dalaman. Have been to Marmaris on several occasions and going again in September. If we have to fly to Dalaman next year can you recommend a different resort this time. Also would you recommend aegean flights as i have never tried them before.

I have flown with Aegean however the problem I had with them is that they frequently change the times of th flights.
As for destinations there are plenty to chose from. Olu Deniz is quite busy with a nice beach and beautiful surroundings, it does cater for the British market and is quite expensive. Turunc not far from Marmaris could be a good place for you and not as busy as Marmaris but you can pop into Marmaris for some lively night life. Kalkan and Kas are a bit further down the coast and very attractive. If you want peace and quiet and a very Turkish atmosphere with fewer European visitors try Datca (my favourite).
