Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Just back from Borovets at half term.

I booked flights through opodo.co.uk with Bulgaria Air Gatwick-Sofia for 14/2 - 21/2 on 10th March 2007, literally as soon as they became available, and paid £164 per person. This includes ski and boot carriage.

I was a bit worried I might have got a better deal elsewhere had I waited, but wizzair was about the same, and easyjet was more once you added in the baggage. In my opinion, for booking at peak times the best time to book is as early as you can.

BA and BgAir will put their flights for next Feb on sale in about 2 weeks.

Opodo is good for finding flights, they seem to release a few seats each day or so, so it pays to keep looking.

Four of us (1adult and 3 older teens) just back, doing a rough totalling up it has cost around £700 a head and that includes ALL food and drink, sledge hire, night ski passes. The only thing I haven't included was the airport parking, around £60 for meet and greet through Holiday Extras.

Hope this helps, DIY is definitely the way to go if you want to ski on a budget.

Hi Jim. Just got back from Bansko. Flights with Lufthansa from birmingham to Sofia were £168 per person over half term, could have got them a bit cheaper but i wanted the better timings. Free ski bag 20kg hold and 8kg hand luggage. You can join their Miles and More club for nothing and get an extra 10-20kg ! + free drinks and food onboard as standard.
Don't forget with any company there are always discount vouchers online, especially with the parking sites. Which only cost us £21 for 8 days at Birmingham.
