Plovdiv flights

Can anyone advise which airlines are flying into Plovdiv this season. I have been advised by Balkan that they are all going into Sofia??

I am in the East Midlands so either Bham, Manchester, Luton, Heathrow would be good? trying to get to Pamps week of 27th Dec.

Very constructive post Stephan! Welcome to the site. Not sure who if any are flying there this year due to the renovation of the airport. Sofia is 2.5 to 3 hours if you rent a car which we are doing the week before. Will be there when you get there Simonski. Wink

There you go! Some airlines had pulled the plug but if you can get there you're only an hour or so away.

re: Plovdiv flights

Thanks aaron. I was in Bulgaria last week with car and enjoyed!! the drive from Sofia to Pamps (very entertaining and much better than any Sega Rally game!!) I am hoping to be in Pamps over the New year as we have got an apartment there and were out buying furniture etc last week so was trying Plov for convenience. Thanks to others I will try First Choice and if not Sofia it is!!

P.S. Stephan, mainly convenience and to save the transfer!!!

And many cheap flights into Dublin from Brum. Whaere are you from Simonski? We are from Hinckley so these are our local airports too. Where did you purchase in Pamporovo?

I am near Loughborough and my wife is from Bulkington so know Hinckley quite well. We have purchased in Bldg 1 of the Grand Monastery so after the furniture has gone in we are looking forwards to the New Year with plenty of drinks, hopefully some snow and some family also renting out there to join us!
