Borovets with Inghams

Hi all,

I'm booked to go to Borovets on Saturday the 6th with Inghams and I've been told that there's no way I can pre-book lift passes or ski school until I get there since it's a cheap deal. My friend could book the Learn to Snowboard package but I can't book mine (I'm not a learner).
Now I'm worrying as everything else I've read says that getting rentals and lift passes out there is loads of £££.
Any ideas??

I think Inghams should sort this out for you. It's like selling a pair of shoes without laces.

It will cost you approximately double (About £19 per day) to get a lift pass in resort.

Go back in and ask to see the manager, may not work but nobody wants an unhappy customer in their shop, and often a tantrum can work!!!!!!

Thanks Pete.

I booked online through lastminute so I just spoke to Inghams and they basically said too bad, nothing we can do.
Love that customer service!

I went with Inghams this year and booked a lift pass at the same time as the holiday. Saved us loads

The only other suggestion I can make Ruth is to speak to your rep when you arrive. You can do one of 2 things. Either INSIST you booked a pack and there is a cock-up with the paperwork, or ask them if they have any spare passes. Sometimes people cancel their holidays at the last minute and the passes have already been alocated, or someone may have sustained an injury and cannot ski, meaning there is a pass left over.

Failing that, I'm afraid it will just have to be a few less Vodkas for ...
