Year i concurr! waterskipete- i have just been pricing it out and it has certainly gone up!
am looking at other ski schools etc for hire gear and instruction for kids as that has gone up too!
may even try and price it all out independantly if it works out cheaper!

re: Balkan Prices 2012!

just priced out my holiday this year for the same next year (was initially looking at later to be more snow sure) but it has come in at over £450 dearer than this year!
Looks like a possible late deal for me too!- cant afford that to not be sure of snow! Sad

re: Balkan Prices 2012!

Hi Ian,
In 09 we booked flights with easyjet then booked accomodation and ski packs through Balkan which worked out ok.
This year we booked a package with Balkan which was cheaper than the DIY option we did before.
Think that 2012 will either be DIY, booking an apartment from one of the let sites as the prices seem very good this yr at £200 in the Flora...
Food for thought!

PS, we were hoping for France/Italy but that looks a distant dream too!

re: Balkan Prices 2012!

Hello ianw,

We are a family of four, we have booked independantly for the last five years to Borovets, because we book the day the wizz air flights come out we have always found it cheaper this way. This year on feb half term our flights were just short of £400 return. You do have to constantly check wizz web site but it pays in the end. Kas sorted lift pass and ski hire. With accomodation approx £1200 all in. Reasonable i think?

re: Balkan Prices 2012!

Priced flights for 15 Jan 2012 with Balkan (3 of us) came in at £750- is this decent given i have to arrange transfers and book hotel (or self catering) then ski gear etc etc!
can a decent overall price be arranged!
(never done it this way so just asking!) Very Happy
