The flights to Antalya, on the south west coast of Turkey, will depart every Wednesday from 2 July to 29 October. They also offers flights from Leeds Bradford airport to the popular Turkish holiday destinations of Bodrum and Dalaman.
Leeds Bradford Airport marketing and business development manager, Sally Ramsey, comments: “Demand from the people of our region for Turkey destination is very high. The new Antalya service offers tourists a chance to visit a new destination and is a fantastic addition to the ever growing range of destinations available from LBIA”.

This is a long waited announcement by who seeks alternative flight routes to Antalya. DHMI announced Alanya Gazipasa Airport will be available for flights to Antalya on July 13. It means that the airport is ready for both domestic and international flights. We expect that airport will increase tourism activities in Gazipasa, Anamur and Alanya. It will also solve transportation problems of the region and that region will be an attractive area for new tourism investments.
Gazipasa airport located in eastern Antalya. The construction started in 1992. The plan was to serve the Alanya region in general as far as the historic town of Anamur. Completing the construction of Gazipasa Airport took more than 10 years. The dilemma about its location generated many newspaper stories about criticism of officials for miscalculating the risks of the location. As the massive investment was totally abandoned, people started to use the airport area to plant vegetables.
Finally the airport could be operational after a successful bidding process brought TAV, that won the Gazipasa Airport, to eastern Antalya.
British Airways started frequent flights to Antalya, landing at Antalya Airport located six miles to the city centre. After your Antalya flight lands, take a taxi ride to see Antalya’s Roman Harbour. Relax after Antalya flights or just gaze at the magnificent Mediterranean sunshine view. After flights to Antalya you’ll want to explore Roman walled Kaleiçi (Old Antalya) or eat fresh meal in harbourside restaurants.
With a big promotional campaign, Turkish Airlines (THY) announced the most luxurious scheduled aircraft within Europe. Turkish Airlines flight TK1979, which departs Istanbul at 0815, and TK1980, which leaves Heathrow at 1140, will only fly the London Heathrow to Istanbul route until March. Premium class passengers can stretch out on fully flat beds and comfort of their very own first class suite during their four hour flight.
London-Istanbul return fares for the B777-300ER of around £1,613 for first class, £511 for business class with economy priced from £157. These tickets must be booked by telephone because THY online booking website still not programmed for first class flights.

Do you wonder how your plane will land to Antalya airport? This example video is taken in a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800.

While THY offering best quality there are also another companies who offer flights to Antalya for cheaper prices. I’ve elected them because of their nice services for their low prices.
There are two main airports in Istanbul. Both of them well connected to the city and both of them offers high service quality. Flight companies offer flights from two of these airports but some of them not.
I’ve found a nice price from London Gatwick Airport to Antalya. It is about £56.99 now and available online at FlyThomasCook.com. These prices are for departure dates about 1 month after but sometimes there are last minute flight deals. There are also another good deals from UK to other popular locations like Dalaman, Bodrum and Izmir. Prices updates every two hours. Visit this page to get latest prices.
At the end of your flight to Antalya you have some options for transportation to Antalya centre. Getting a Taxi in Antalya is really the expensivest method. I think the best alternative is “Havas”. It is a ground handling company which serves transportation between airport and Antalya centre. They do the transportation with comfortable buses. The only thing you may need to know is your dropping spot. You may ask a suitable one from Havas information desk. The travel will take about 30 minutes and It will cost 10.00 YTL (5 €). Visit the link provided below to get latest information about departure times and dropping spots.
