flew onur air last june cardiff to dalaman and they were fine. food was cold rice olives and a piece of chicken. there was no entertainment but its only a 4 hour flight. same meal for the children as adults no alchol was served apart from wine but you get free soft drinks sprite coke orange juice e.c.t. crew were fine some people found them abrupt but i think this was because they didnt speak much english(i'm sure they we seemed the same to them as we dont speak much turkish) the plane wasn't the best i've seen but was clean and tidy and no smoking both flights were on time

We have just booked to fly to turkey in june with onur air. Have just recieved the invoice and the flight times are the same as when we booked, hopefully they won't change.
Flew with onur air last year, food not much good but everything else was ok, as long as we get to turkey in one piece I really don't mind what the aircraft is like, just a shame it has to bring you home again. :cry:

does anyone know where i can check timetables (between Birmingham and dalaman with Onur Air - i've checked the bhx website but can't find the ino i need). i'm looking at a holiday to marmaris going out 5th May for 7 nights - but the advertised return flight says it leaves Dalaman on the 12th May at 04.40 (I wanted to check whether it is the 12th - or the 13th). Flight number is OHY619

Cheers

it is the 12th coming back. Onur are Turkish and their charters start from Turkey. UK charters start in the UK so your times are later leaving resort.

Turkish charters start their flying day in Turkey so this is why the flights are earlier and you get less time than if you were on a UK charter company flight.

Hope this makes sense - the flights are dead cheap to make up for this though :?

Used Onur Air on internal flights in Turkey last week - Istanbul - Bodrum and return. They were very good in all respects. I don't speak any Turkish except the usual pleasantries, so I was a little worried about how it would go.

I had booked on their internet site, so just presented my confirmation number at Istanbul domestic check-in and they sorted our tickets and showed us where the gate/security was. Very helpful. Flights were on time both ways.

Onur were an example to the likes of Easyjet and Ryanair, they offered boiled sweets once everyone was seated, then during the flight offered tea, coffee, soft drinks(limited choice but it was free) and cake or crackers, all with the usual politeness that we love about Turkish people.

I've also used them last year from Galsgow - Bodrum & return and they were good then also. Service was similar to above. As someone else said take a book as they don't have any entertainment.

Used them twice and found them to be far better than UK airlines

We flew out to Dalaman with Onur last week from Liverpool, it was a brand new Airbus, took off on time and landed a little earlier than scheduled. It was comfortable enough, in flight meals were OK, pasta and fishcake things going out and rice and sliced chicken breast on return with the inevitable carrot cake than looks like a scourer but tastes fine, tea and coffee. Free soft drinks and juice. Cabin staff were efficient if a little glum-faced. There was actually a TV system which was showing cartoons and an old Charlie Chaplin film on the way home, that is a first for Onur. Not much flight info on the way out but sufficient on the return journey.
No complaints and a lot cheaper than other charter airlines.

Just returned from marmaris this morning after spending a week there and travelled with onur air, i can honestly say both flights were fantastic, on time, clean, meals were fine no complaints and the flight did sell alcohol as i have read reviews which said it didnt. Absolutely no complaints about cabin crew and i wouldnt hesitate to use them again.

Hi
Due to fly out to Bodrum in July and just wondered if anyone can provide absolute clarity on the baggage allowance.
Was hoping to take 2 LARGE cases (for a family of four) but clearly these will weigh over the 20kg...but surely I am permitted 80kg for 4 paying passengers so do they mind if it is all in 2 cases
Thanks

i cant help with the specifics of this airline but as a general rule in europe NO single bag should exceed 30 kg (EEC helth and safety regs)

Hi, We're also flying to Bodrum with Onur in July according to our brochure
"Baggage Allowance: This is 20kg (44lb) 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 32kg will not be accepted by the airline for health and safety reasons."

Returned from Dalaman with my case weighing in at 22.5 kg. Nothing extra was charged.

We had a brand new A321 to and from UK and cabin crew was very polite and helpful in both directions.

Food was OK too.

So, no complaints this year about Onur air. Last year, we were diverted to Istanbul for an hour or so, as one of the dials was faulty. Very old and rickety plane.

As we were about to land, pilot told us that it might be a bit of a sharp landing as aircraft a bit big for Exeter airport. Landing was very smooth but we didn't have much runway left when we came to a halt. :)
