Balkan do IT AGAIN!!!

Balkan do it again!!
They have cancelled the humberside flight on 24th Jan, due to lack of passengers.
Not true as i tried to book another flight last week and was told it was full !!
Does anyone know are they in danger of going under, it seems that they are cancelling lots of flights, is this the first warning sign??
They have offered alternative flights from Newcastle,
What a shambles they are!

P.S.

I stick with Inghams. Did Balkan some years ago when they started buttering the bread and boiling the kettle on the plane, that's when I put my parachute on. Razz

Looked at Balkan this year, as seemed reasonable prices, then remembered threads of this nature from last season and stuck with Crystal!! Frustrating doesn't even come close I guess guys!!

Always gone with Balkan ... and never had a problem ... maybe we have just been lucky!!

Mind you last year on the aircraft it was a bit hairy scary ... two missed attempts at Plovdiv Airport .. only to end up flying onto Sofia!!

That made me smile Snow Plough (Buttering the bread and boiling the kettle) Nice one!! Very Happy Very Happy

re: Balkan do IT AGAIN!!!

I am wanting to fly from a northern airport pref. Manchester but cannot seem to get a decent tour operator flying from Manc to Sofia. Is Sofia the pref, airport to fly into if your going to Bansko ? Sorry for stealing the thread topic but i have noticed Balkan only fly into Plovdiv, and would be good to know any other pref operators. Cheers

There is a news report in the following paper, stating Balkan Holidays have pulled out of Plovdiv altogether, read it in www.news.dnevnik.bg
