Pete, you will probably be aware of the issues relating to Kids passports that surfaced last week.Is there anyway you can get a message on the home page etc regarding this as it seems to be affecting a considerable number of families with kids?

It's a fair point Chris, but the passport situation as far as I know it, is no different for travelling to Bulgaria as it is with almost all other European countries.
The first thing I always do when booking a holiday is to ensure my passport is going to be valid for my trip, and whether I need any visas etc. because it's my responsibility.
With regards to kids on parents passports, that too is something that parents need to clarify long before departure time, and not leave it until ...

Fail to plan.........plan to fail.

Thats OK, the problem is that we did check that the passports etc were upto date. Having travelled to Bg before wern't aware of any problems.
We were contacted at the end of last week via our travel agent and advised that the entry criteria had been changed as of the 1st Jan this year - BUT nobody seems to be aware of it and that includes many of the tour operators, e.g inghams, crystal, panorama etc, the only company that now seems to be advising travellers is Balkan.
