BA to SOFIA -

Some info that might be of use to some of you.....
I didn't think that booking BA would be an option given the costs - however I've left it a little late booking the flight this year and the best deal I could find last week was about £90 on easyJet plus the extra for taking my own gear etc...
I had a little look on the BA site - price was 150 - although this does include 23k luggage which can be used on the Ski gear.

So - I contacted a firend of mine who works for BA as they can sometimes get good deals for friends - she managed to get me the flights for 114 - so worked out cheaper than easyJet and with better flight times; closer (for me), allocated seating etc etc.

Why am I telling you this? Well BA is a massive employer here in the UK and a lot of people will know someone that works for them. The best option will always be book as early as possible with eJ or Wizz but if you missed the boat like I did, this is well worth looking at....

119 days and counting... Very Happy Very Happy

I've booked BA out of Heathrow and Air Bulgaria home for a half term trip next February and it worked out cheaper than Easyjet from Gatwick and teh flight times are much more civil.

Just hope they dont strike!
