Turkish Airlines - Please amend your winter Dalaman to UK flight timetable
We, the undersigned, want you to change the winter flight timetable from Dalaman Airport to Istanbul Ataturk Airport to the same times as in 2010 i.e. the morning flight to İstanbul Ataturk to depart Dalaman at 09.30 hours and the evening flight to depart Ataturk at 19.30 hours.
As a result of the recent timetable changes, between October and March it is not possible to fly from Dalaman to Manchester, Birmingham, Gatwick, Stansted and Edinburgh Airports in the UK on the same day because the connecting flights departing İstanbul Ataturk for the UK leave before the flight arrives in İstanbul Ataturk from Dalaman. Likewise for the return journey from Manchester, Birmingham, Gatwick, Stansted and Edinburgh Airports to Dalaman via Istanbul Ataturk Airport.
Please change the Dalaman-Istanbul and Istanbul-Dalaman winter flight times so that they connect to ALL destinations in the UK on the same day, not just Heathrow. Thank you.

We were going to buy a villa in Hisaronu for our permanent residence but got put off by the lack of winter flights.
Connecting flights would be good but even better would be the direct flights I was able to get some 8/10 years ago through the quieter months
Last time I avoided the long wait in Istanbul by going back to the UK via Eindhoven on a Dutch Airline. Then onto the UK. Turkish Airlines is losing out as I will try to avoid this route due to massive connection times.
Stuck in Istanbul for 8 hours with kids is a nightmare. Please fix these schedules so we can actually get back to Manchester without the massive layover!
Living here all winter is impossible with the current connections. We have to fly out of Izmir instead which is just too far to drive.
We'd love to come to Turkey in winter time but getting there is a real problem
