re: Pictures Of The New Plovdiv Airport

I have written to Balkan holidays concerning the use of Plovdiv for Pamporovo customers next year.

A major reason why Pamporovo has lost so many tourists is for this very reason. We have read on here how many people are just not prepared to endure the 4 hour trek from Sofia. Up until Plovdiv closed it regularly had enough Pamporovo customers to justify it's use - so lets see if I get a reply and more importantly what their response is.

re: Pictures Of The New Plovdiv Airport

can't see what your problem is I have been to pamporovo 4 times great journey every time roads are clear three and a half hours from sofia.

re: Pictures Of The New Plovdiv Airport

It's not my problem - I am happy to travel from Sofia - but would prefer not to arrive in Pamporovo at 2am in the morning, nor do I particularly relish a 4am pick up.

The problem is with the hundreds of people who will not put up with these unsociable times and that is having a major effect on Pamporovo's future.

re: Pictures Of The New Plovdiv Airport

Well said Pete!... The problem is with people on here is they don't understand that if numbers don't pick up at Pamps the shops, bars and restuarants will continue to close. This will then filter through to Hotels, lifts, ski runs, piste maitainance etc etc!

Pete,

We flew to Sofia on EasyJet. We got into Pamps resort for 4pm and pickup was 7 am, so better times are available.

Regards,
Steve

re: Pictures Of The New Plovdiv Airport

EasyJet don't do package holidays Steve and that is where the bulk of the business is generated from.

re: Pictures Of The New Plovdiv Airport

So want them to start flying in to Plovdiv again been to all 3 resorts did Borovets this year purely due to transfer times, but having been to all 3 want to go to Pamps next year and onwards....
