we are on the same flight from manchester having had our flight out changed from sofia to plovdiv. Our original flight tickets were incorrect & were only for the flight out so had to be reissued to for the return journey. Might be worth checking yours also . We are at the Samokov travelling with Balkan & like you our first skiing trip.

i think it is 2.5 to 3 hours for the transfer depending on the weather.you can change some money at the hotel or take a little bit with you from uk.but you will get a much better exchange rate at the banks in borovets .you will love it in borovets try the black tiger opposite the rila for a drink and a song ,

So the transfer time is min 2 hours, if the weater is nearby this today you need between 3 and 3,5 hours.
You need no money changig before, or only a small number the rates are here in Borvez much better as in GB or on the Airport. So change max 10 to 20 pounds.
