re: Here we go- flight changes from balkan have arrived!

yeah and it seems to have made the cost of late deals actually go up by around £20pp... we still don'tintend on booking for a couple of weeks so hopefully they'll come down a bit more by then... shocking, it really is, but to fly from Newcastle we're pretty much stuck with balkan...

re: Here we go- flight changes from balkan have arrived!

Sorry to hear about all the problems you have all encountered, we been three times with balkans flying from manchester and never had any problems apart from dodgy coffee. This year going with thomsons flight on the sunday with balkans was booked up, so we might see the difference this year.

Oh... Maybe it's the Humberside flight that's coming up to Edinburgh that I'm getting on then... Oh well they must've got it wrong at the travel agents, either that or they're sweetening the news for both of us Richard.

As long as I get there and I have a bed and snow (and something for my wife to do while I'm skiing) then I'll be happy.

To Graham offshore you sure your flight is not on the 20th by the way I think we pick people up at humberside
we did last year

I dont fly with Balkan amymore, the return trip, you have to leave the resort about 4 in the morning and the aircraft is a crappy russian made tupolov 144, a poor copy of the Bae Trident

Thomson are double touching in Serbia for some of their flights from Bulgaria, so Balkan is not so bad!

re: Here we go- flight changes from balkan have arrived!

Make you right...altho its not only balkan holidays that do that i`m flying with thomson we have our flight changed.....we have to drop some passengers off in serbia is this a joke or what.

I can go from another airport and fly into borovets direct but i have to give them £20 just for the previlage.

Does this detour normally happen then?

Fiona

I thought thomson were ment to be a good carrier.They to are as bad as balkan........still at least i can say i have been to serbia even if it just the airport

re: Here we go- flight changes from balkan have arrived!

last year i went with balkan from east midlands and flights was delayed by 6 hours. when we eventualy arrived at accomadation its was 4.00 am and we had to be on the slopes for 9.00am

re: Here we go- flight changes from balkan have arrived!

Last two years with Balkan - we've had flight changes (to a later time) and delays both times (both from East Midlands). This year we've booked Thomson - but have already had our flight times changed so we get home in early hours, rather than teatime. Mind you, planes MUST surely be an improvement on the Balkan ones - we had side panels hung off on the one we travelled on last time!
