Night flights from Manchester to Dalaman scheduled for summer

SunExpress is to run night flights from Manchester Airport to Dalaman this summer.

The  Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines joint venture carrier is starting the daily overnight service from May 19.

Flights will depart at 00.45 and arrive in Dalaman at 7am local time.

Late evening return flights are also available, departing Dalaman at 9.05pm, arriving in Manchester at 11.45pm local time.

Night and late evening flights are available with fares starting at £84.99 one way.

The airline will also operate up to 24 weekly flights to Antalya, 19 to Izmir and twice-weekly to Bodrum from Manchester this summer.

Head of sales Tobias Bracht said: “We know how precious holiday time really is, and these new night flights are all about helping our customers enjoy every moment of it.

“Touching down in Dalaman as the sun rises means the holiday begins instantly, whether that’s a first swim in the sea, a relaxed breakfast by the coast with the relief knowing you haven’t lost a day to travel.

“We’re incredibly proud to be expanding our Manchester programme and strengthen our offering to Turkey, giving travellers even more freedom and choice of destinations alongside Antalya, Izmir and Milas-Bodrum.”
