middle of the night

A friend and I have decided to holdiay in Kalkan this May. Just wondering - does anyone know why the flight time are so bizarre? Genreally they all arrive in the middle of the night/early hours of the morning?!

I think that this is an historic problem.
When Turkey was perceived as a very cheap destination twenty to thirty years ago, the initial package holidays were also sold as ''very cheap''. To keep them as cheap as possible the flights were at the low cost slots for take offs and landings, normally night or very early in the morning. This has simply followed on to the present day with the charter flights.
If you look at some of the schedule flights they are at more reasonable times.
The other thing is, if you are staying in a Hotel, leaving later in the day means that you would arrive fairly late at your resort, especially with the two hour time difference. The same applies to departing as the Hotels need to clean the rooms etc., but you obviously gain the two hours returning home.

Thanks Pete!

I think we''ve found our perfect villa now and will just have to live with middle of the night flights! Cheapest one even arriving at 4am is currently £200!
