Bookings for winter 2004/2005

Are the brochures available yet?

Been into Thomas Cook and they said not out yet, find that pretty strange considering summer ones available 2 years ahead!!!!!!!!!!

Which companies should I look at?

Hi

Most ski brochures dont come out until the after seasons over. april/may.

I booked this year with Balkan Hollidays. Very cheap, 7 nights Pamporovo, 2 star hotel HB, all in (flights/transfer etc and ski/boot hire, lift pass and ski school) £371 each. They aloso do bansko, borovets. Also 3,4 star hotels availible.

Also I heard from others that 'Crystal Ski' is good

Hope this helps.

Crystal are useless!!!!!!

Will never book with them again.

12 letter contradicting each other, wrong flight times, wrong airport, wrong tickets sent out, not returning calls etc. etc.

They are a shambles, same happened to Judith and Emma.

Will not be using them again, and thats after using them for 5 years on the trot.

You wern't to know Gary, up till this year they've been fine but lordy did they cock-up BIG time in the last few weeks.

Will probably go Balkan next year as not many cater for 2 week winter holidays.

No more Crystal Maze.

Inghams have been pretty good both times we've used them - take the BA scheduled flight option if you can afford to as there's much less chance of flight cancellations/consolidations/time changes etc.

I have read all the different messages and wonder why more people do not do they own bookings direct with the hotels it saves loads of money. I have booked direct twice and had no problems

re: Bookings for winter 2004/2005

Sandy how much are you paying when you do this including flights transfers?
I have booked with Inghams this year via the web took 10 mins paid £376 each for the mourgavets decent flight into Plovdiv so short transfer time and the flight leaves uk at 14.00 so all being well (and I am crossing my fingers here!) should be in resort by 22.00
