Fly in Comfort - with our exclusive bmi scheduled service aircraft

Our exclusive scheduled configured bmi aircraft are usually utilised for long or mid-haul flights. They provide not only what is undoubtedly the most comfortable service together with the most convenient timings available to our featured regions - but have also allowed us to introduce the only direct Business Class Service.

The aim with our bmi aircraft is to provide a travel experience that differs somewhat from what sadly has become the industry standard. Of course a flight is still a flight, however we hope that the measures we and our colleagues at bmi have put in place will allow our guests to enjoy an altogether improved experience.

Heathrow: Scheduled Service Aircraft with spacious cabin layout and full Business Class

Saturday Morning

• A civilised morning check-in at our exclusive dedicated desks at Heathrow Terminal 1 (Zone B).
  
• Specific seats are pre-allocated at the time of booking.
  
• Arrive at your property early evening Turkish time, (two hours earlier UK body clock time).
  
• Unusually, the last day of your holiday is not lost to travel. Rooms and villas are kept available until your departure allowing you to relax in comfort prior to checking-out and leaving your property mid-afternoon.

Kindly note: As all our flights now depart in the morning a complimentary light meal is no longer provided on arrival. All hotel restaurants will be open as usual with guests able to dine as they wish. Guests staying in a villa receive a well provisioned arrival hamper with our compliments.

ONBOARD COMFORT

• Our exclusive bmi service from Heathrow to Dalaman operates on an Airbus A321-200 which is configured to seat just 149 guests.
  
• A similar aircraft type configured for a normal charter (or indeed short-haul scheduled service) carries 220-226 passengers.
  An extraordinary 48-52% more passengers than our own service!
  
• This bmi aircraft will provide 'In-flight Entertainment'.

Scheduled Seats

• The seat pitch (leg room) throughout the main cabin is an eminently comfortable 32-34”. 
  
• An average charter flight has a 28” seat pitch and a charter upgrade cabin 32-34”.

Business Class

• We are delighted to provide the first and (until the introduction of our new Manchester service - see below) only full Business Class service to coastal Turkey.
  
• The seats are not only wider but also provide a not inconsiderable seat pitch (leg room) of 49-50"!

Gatwick: Monarch Airlines Charter Service 

NEW IMPROVED SCHEDULE FOR 2009

Our Gatwick charter service provides an alternative choice to our exclusive Heathrow bmi scheduled service aircraft. In order to provide this alternative, we have taken an allocation of seats on this charter aircraft.

Saturday morning

• A civilised morning check-in at Gatwick. Exclusive Escapes guests will be pre-allocated seats together without additional charge (Monarch usually charge £12 per person) 
  
• Arrive at your property late afternoon Turkish time, (two hours earlier UK body clock time).
  
• Unusually, the last day of your holiday is not lost to travel. Rooms and villas are kept available until your departure allowing you to relax in comfort prior to checking-out and leaving your property.
  
• This Monarch aircraft will provide 'In-flight Entertainment'.

Kindly note: As all our flights now depart in the morning a complimentary light meal is no longer provided on arrival. All hotel restaurants will be open as usual with guests able to dine as they wish. Guests staying in a villa receive a well provisioned arrival hamper with our compliments.

Flexible Flights from any airport on any day - Flexible Durations & Accommodation Only

We recognise that guests may sometimes prefer to travel for durations other than the traditional 7 or 14 nights, on departure days other than those of our own Saturday flights (from Heathrow, Manchester or Gatwick), from differing airports around the world or perhaps simply require a rate for accommodation only.

Marginally, the most cost effective way to enjoy our holidays is to utilise our own flights, however we are more than happy to provide stays of differing durations with or without flights.

Our Flexible Holidays formulae can be applied to these holidays without flight deductions or transfer additions.
