Hi I have been to Pamporovo 3 times all with balkan holidays. No problem with them as they always seem to be the cheapest option and they fly into Plovdiv wich is a short transfer approx 1 Hour 20mins. The one thing I dont like and is not helping to persuade my partner to come with me is they use Balkan flights, wich means crappy Russian Tupolev planes not very nice! I know crystal go but i am put off because they fly into Sofia much longer transfers. Anyone know of anybody flring into ...

Hi DanielI've booked through Balkan via contact that I have who is an independant agent, I'm sure were not on a Balkan flight but I've jst tried to find my paperwork, but appears to have gone missing over Christmas, will let you know tomorrow after I find it.
I thought it was an old plane when they said I was sat next to the rear gunner

iM ALSO WITH INGAMS GOT A GREAT DEAL, VIA LUN POLLY THEY KNOCKED A FAIR BIT OFF THOMSONS PRICE BY THROWING IN FREE INSURANCE. WE ARE SHIPPING OUT WITH BRITANIA ON A 757. WOULDNT WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU GET THERE, ALL AIRLINES TREAT PASSENGERS AS CATTLE AND BUILD SEATS FOR MIDGETS, JUST TAKE THE BEST OPTION FOR YOU AND HAVE FUN ON ARRIVAL.re: Getting to Pamporovo
Hi Mate,I just booked up with Crystal to travel out on the 1st Feb to Pamp. I am flying into Plodiv and the flight number starts with a 'BY' This is the flight code for Britania Airlines owned by Thomsons. Hopefully this is right and I won't end up on some Russian cast off from Airoflop.....!!!
re: Getting to Pamporovo
I quite like the Russian airplanes.... Adds that 'authentic' feel to the holiday! My young lady paled as I explained the condition and make of the planes but, I'm sure a few vodkas at Gatwick will get her through the journey OK!re: Getting to Pamporovo
Crystalski use britania airlines, britania use boeings planes to fly to plodiv, i think its a boeing 757!www.crystalski.co.uk
re: Getting to Pamporovo
Thanks guys! I know crystal are flying into Plovdiv this year but i belive and I may be wrong on this but in March when I want to go the revert back to Sofia, and Crystal cots quite a bit more than Balkan Holidays and I am a tight git!re: Getting to Pamporovo
If you go into Lunn Poly, you may well find that they will do a "Price Match" for a Crystal holiday - and chuck in free insurance. They did for me.

I booked mine through Inghams online and got the £20 per person reduction which just about covered the excess from flying from Birmingham. I tried several travel agents and they could not match the same price as Inghams online price.
My cousin who is a manager at a travel agents then stepped in and said she could see what she could do - and she could not beat it..
I am awaiting for my tickets to come through to see who I am flying with I am assuming it is somebody like European Air ...
