I don't see how Ercan can be a "solution" as such, given you have to have downtime in Turkey before being allowed to travel on.
I don't see how it's possible that any flights can only be on the ground for 10 minutes. I would like to see a link to those website flight times.

I was also puzzled about the 10 minute stop, I just had a quick check on some dates that we are thinking of travelling back to the UK.
Turkish airlines to Manchester, take off Ercan 08:55 arrive Istanbul 10:15, Istanbul 13:15 lands Manchester 15:30(UK), total of 8hrs 55 mins.
The cost was also over €100 each more than easyjet

I just mentioned Ercan in response to the moans about Pafos airport's absolute shambles, as a useful alternative hassle-free. You can fly Turkish to London for €150 return or even less, but like all airlines including Ryanair, Easy Jet, TC, Thompson, BA, etc etc to/from the "south" fares have massive variations according to date of flight, supply/demand etc. Geoff.

Hi Pat We took friends to the airport a few weeks a go 2 pm Sunday flight take off, straight through, so not all flights seem to be affected, maybe it is the times of the flights where the issues are?

I think you will find that anybody who is anybody IS on this forum, OR read it as guests, including I might add owners of other Forums such as Jim (CL) and Steve (Eastern Cyprus). Just check the use made of all 3. Geoff.
