plus when you book a package deal you have to go on the coach and make stops at all the other hotels......the first time we went to icmeler it took us absolutly ages to get from dalaman..as typically we were the last stop to get off and a stop off was made half way so people could buy food, drink or go to the toilet.....totally unecessary! booking with ICR is much better we think, as you just get stright in the cab and off you go, there in no time!
sorry i no this is not about flights but just thought i'd mention another downside of package holidays!
