Dalaman is outside the UK and EU, so coming back this only applies if a UK or EU airline operated the flight.

Manchester to Dalaman is 3,024 km, which fixes the figure: £350 each leaving Manchester, and the same £350 each coming back if a UK or EU airline operated the flight. It is per person, so four of you is £1,400.
