I took a quick look at Balkan holidays website and picked a mid-season week (27th Jan) -£299pp

Arranging your own holiday - apartment close to gondola (eg knights lodge) for a week £270 (£67.50 each),
transfer £15 each way (£30)
Lift pass £100

Cheers all. They have now stopped the Newcastle one Sad

I got the price £400 cheaper on their own website. I find it strange that they would not reduce the price as they are now advertising it cheaper!!.

re: PEEEED Balkan Cancelled Flight!

Hi DNA - what happens now they have cancelled from both Edinburgh and Newcastle? Will you be able to transfer to a flight from elsewhere or is it completely cancelled?
