Cheap way of getting to Borovets for 2009?

Hi all
Just back form Borovets and had a brilliant time skiing, we want to go again next year but Inghams are charging over a £100 more. Has anyone got any cheap alternatives?
Thanks

Yes, shop around!! I am guessing they are charging more because of rising fuel prices. Either look at Easy Jet or one of the other carriers for getting there and go diy which is not always cheaper, or wait for a last minute deal. Seems to be plenty of deals around at the moment so that might well be the better option.

Shop at Tesco, buy your petrol at Tesco, and save the clubcard points. Exchange the vouchers for airmiles. You need £100 in vouchers for a free BA flight to Sofia.

Get a Tesco credit card and put everything on it - more clubcard points - just remember to pay the balance off each month.

Look at Thomson and Crystal - their prices seem to be around the same as this year

Book on your own over the internet for a family of four we saved £1000 on last years booking with crystal. Booked our flight and apartment seperately.

Have you tried skiline, I spoke to a lady called Christine Kinloch, she was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for her and she found the best prices, they only sell ski holidays and really know their stuff.

Ok here it is guy's..

Go buy a rowing boat,take it to dover and start rowing for calais,on arrival by cheap walking boots in France together with lots of vodka to keep u warm throught the winter...

It should take 9 months to get to BG where you can buy a tent for the rest of yr stay..

Or wait until september and get the late deals for going in January..

I pd £199 for a week in the iglika H/b,doesn't get much cheaper than that guys...

Cheapest way for a group fly wizzair from luton - Sofia. Book few months before get really cheap flights under £100 sometimes have to keep checking the prices as they do go up or down. Pre book mini bus and hire appartment. Much cheaper then package deals.
