Flight Changes

Jan 15th -Feb Crystal ski have changed their flight times from Gatwick to Plovdiv.
I was booked on the 15th from Gatwick to Plovdiv take off 15:25 and return take off 21:25. This has now changed to take off 18:25 and return take off 00:25. This means that by the time you arrive in resort (Pamps) it will be about 02:00. Only 6 hrs to unpack sleep and get ready for the first day. The return journey is worse.

Spoke to Crystal ski and have now moved my flight to Birmingham (extra cost) ...

Spoke to Crystal ski and have now moved my flight to Birmingham (extra cost) landing in Sofia (4 hrs transfer I believe). But at least I arrive in resort about 22:00. Much better.....

Look out for changes in your flight times.
I think IMT was on my old flight?

re: Flight Changes

Not quite HKP, we are going on 15th Jan, but because I have booked us all without using a tour company, we have the luxury (?) of having B.A flights - hopefully no changes. We get to resort around mid to late afternoon. Yipeee.

Beats last years Balkan flight when we arrives in Pamp at around 2am!!

Glad I've swapped to Inghams - just seeing if Crystal will refund the deposit as we are still holding a booking to Pamps for 22nd Jan - will cancel at last minute with them if necessary.

Meanie. That means someone who wants to book it can't.

Bite the bullet and release your booking you very bad person. Wink

re: Flight Changes

Hi HKP

We travelled from Brum last year to Sofia same time flight and onto Pamps we arrived in resort about 1am.

It was a drag!!!!!!!!

2 hrs time difference
3 hrs flight
1 hour between getting off flight to leaving on coach
4+ hours coach journey

This year we are going EMA to Plovdiv, hopefully we will be in the bar early by about 10pm
