Flight
I booked my flight with Thomas Cook and my travel insurance with them as well. On the outward journey I Had lots of leg room but the downside was that i didn’t expect to pay for the water or the headphones to listen to their movie.

Arriving in Antalya
We arrived in Antalya at about 2am from then we waited for our baggage which took 1 hour. after we had our baggage we left the airport and their were taxis waiting outside the airport but you have to speak to the conductor first and then when he knows were you want to go he will tell a driver were you want to go so it saves time and money as you do not have to drive around in circles. It cost us about 45 YTL to get from the Airport to the Mavi Ani Pension where we were staying because it was after midnight.

We then walked around because there was no one at the Mavi Ani at the time we arrived so we had to try to find another pension we started walking around the streets looking for the Ozmen Pension their were dogs and cats waking around everywhere. eventually we decided to phone the Ozmen and one of the employees came out to get us and gave us a temporary room until the next morning then we would be moved to a room upstairs.
