Does anyone know if Inghams will give a single girl a transfer from Sofia to Borovets when she gets off the Heathrow flight this Sunday morning? Would expect to pay a small charge for the privilege!
Why Inghams? Most of the hotels will arrange a transfer for you.
I personally wouldn't leave it until you land unless of course you are prepared to negotiate a fare with a taxi driver. Sune always tells us that there is a bus service to Samokov for about 4 lev and then you have to get a taxi up to Borovets from Samokov town.
when you land at Sofia Airport, take an OK Taxi to Avtogara Iug (bus station South) close to Interpred business center. the station is actually an ugly underpass but it's relatively safe. the taxi ride from the airport should be about 5-7 leva. make sure the meter is working. they will even take your skis at no extra charge if they like you ;-)

from Samokov there are regular minibuses to Borovec (7 miles) for 1 lev or you may negotiate a cab.
you can exchange money at a bad rate at the airport. 1 pound is about 2.80 leva. less at the airport.
