    Trying to get to turkey the end of April, flying out around the 25th but am flexible for a few days before that. Need to come back on the 2nd of May though.

    Going to Bodrum but can fly to Izmir or any other airport that's not that far.

    Flights seem to be coming in €800+, anybody know a cheaper way of getting there.?

    School holidays for easter will do that. Combined with the May bank holiday it'll be near impossible to get cheap flights as demand will be pretty high.

    Have you tried ex Belfast or maybe even some UK airports?

    www.skyscanner.ie is showing up flights for less than €300, it involves a bunny-hop via East Midlands (with Ryanair) then Thomas Cook.

    There is a huge Turkish population in Germany (Turks are the largest minority group I believe). Accordingly, there are many flights from all over Germany to all over Turkey. You can try some flights via Germany.

    If you are flexible with dates you can get the flights for around 380€ with Turkish Airlines. Dublin to Istanbul and Istanbul to Bodrum. Better than Izmir deal as you do not have to worry about transport from Izmir to Bodrum.
