Dont book through Balkan! Seems that they entice you with cheap flights then cant get the numbers from the smaller airports so cancel and put all through a mojor one anyway. Alot of messin about, delayed flights, route changes, airport changes. All eating into your holiday time. Book your flights from Manchester/Gatwick, never any probs.re: Somethin' Fishy Goin' On At Balkan.............................. <(((<
Hi Trev, Staying at the Mourgavets (hopefully
)I'll see what they have to say tomorrow before I change anything.

Very strange indeed folks...booked many flights and tours with Balkan without any issue over the years...will be keeping my eyes peeled!re: Somethin' Fishy Goin' On At Balkan.............................. <(((<
Another thread also states that flights from Dublin are to be cancelled from 28th Feb

PeteMourgavets not available for me when I checked today, but single room in Perelik was, so I'll prob go for that. I'll check again tomorrow re flights etc. Assuming you still go on 21st we'll have to meet up for a beer! ... Have you still got that pink ski suit?
Cheers

Mmm interesting were due to fly from Man to Plov on Sat 21 Feb then that got changed a while ago to Sun 22 Feb now saying flights have changed again to use Bulgaria Air but flight times for return they've given are mid afternoon yet Bulgaria Air only depart at 7.30 am to Man on Sun 1 March - so travelling with 3 kids now means we may end up getting to hotel at about 4am Sun night/Mon morn and having to leave about 3am Sun morn coming home and missing at least 1 entire day. Plus 6 out of 11 ...

Plus 6 out of 11 of the family party are coming from Ireland so now they have to rebook their flights from Dub to Man to coincide with the revised flights - Balkan only offering 50% refund too if we want to cancel! Am i mad - ermmmmm yes!

Is anyone else flying from Man on 22nd Feb from what was originally the 21st?! .... (And now to Sofia not Plovdiv) Just wondering if anyone has any more info than I can lay my hands on for now - Balkan Hols won't speak to me directly either - say I have to do everything thru the tour operator
