Well, last year we got nowt alcoholic - not even if we paid for it.Fortunately we were prepared and took our own, couple of bottles of wine (with the cork part out as you can't take a corckscrew onboard either these days - funny, you can take a big glass bottle that you could brain someone with, but no, no evil corckscrews....)

I flew with Balkan from Newcastle last week to Plovdiv.
yep the planes old, but it gets you there. i have E Mailed Balkan about the crap food served though! a dodgy slice of cold ham with a smelly lump of cheese and a whole rather frozen greenish Tomato!, oh and a breadbun followed by a little biscuit! thats it!
Pre warned is better, buy a sandwich to take on the plane!
I was made aware via this site not to expect a hot meal!

at the end of the day though its low cost Balkan, but from Newcastle we have to fly with them cos nobody else goes to Bulgaria from Newcastle.

your on your way after all!

re: Balkan Airways planes
We flew with Balcan last year from East Midlands and had to stop at Newcastle. On the return journey the Newcastle passengers had to get off at E/mid. The only free drinks we got wre soft ones.re: Balkan Airways planes
Only the pilots are allowed Vodka, everyone else has the coke.re: Balkan Airways planes
so let me get this rightthis plane jobby it is going to be something new
that we might never have have done before or even want to do again
so what take a picnic and a srew top bottle of wine or even bubbly
make the best of it
at least if there`s a problem you`ll go out in style

Flew out on the 2nd with them on an old Tupolev, a sort of 'Trabant of the Skies'. Cramped and ropey interior but what the heck cheap holiday and only three hours. But comfortable flying and smooth take off and landing.

It doesn't really seem to matter what you fly on or whether or not the food is good. Take your own sarnies and beer / wine & whisky and enjoy the skiing in between the flights.
