re: Balkan Holidays Strike again!

Balken are the only holiday company doing packages after the 3rd of March. This has always been the case.

Always thought this was mad as over the last few years had some of the best skiing of the season in March. Every year I keep expecting them to add at least another week or two to the season but yet again they haven't!

We've always booked independently in the past, accomodation is usually cheaper.

re: Balkan Holidays Strike again!

Wondered why I couldn't book that week online ... even with Balkan. The same thing happened last year, only Balkan went mid-March, Thomsons, Crystal, Neilsons all stop after the first week in March.

March 3rd it is then

re: Balkan Holidays Strike again!

Same with Edinburgh ... same flight in fact, it stops over in Newcastle en route.

Balkan are the only company who travel from Scotland full stop.

I noticed that earlier if they had offerd us that option we would have to go on the Saturday not sunday but I may have been prepared to do that as it still fit in with our 2 week holiday off work.

the drive to East Midlands I am not bothered at we will know better on Friday .........just noticed it is Friday ohh well.

been looking at flights and acomodation all night my head hurts.
