Fly BA, forget the cheapies!

Hey there,
Flew BA this half term, £700 return from Heathrow for 4 of us including 23kilos luggage each, plus 2 pieces of hand luggage, fab flight times, meals all drinks and they treat you nicely. Booked again for 2012 already, but hurry, they're going up in price!
Katie.

Hi Billy, you can get a Ryanair flight from Stansted into Plovdiv. I don't know where you are staying but it is absolutely ideal for Pamporovo - transfer time now just under 2 hours whereas from Sofia about 3.5. Very Happy
