Bulgaria Ski discussion board

dear Julie,

I am a bit concerned that if you do not get the excess baggage pre approved and just turn up with it at checkin it could be very expensive , as you can see below and this money would probably be better spent over there for the orphanage.
However, if you look on Thomsonfly.com under baggage policy you can pre-book extra bags and it will not cost much at all.

Current airport excess baggage rates (per kilo, per flight)
European flights - £6 (or local currency equivalent)

All other flights £10 (or local currency equivalent)

Pete, with reference to your last post, For five years I got an extra 10kg allowance from Balkan Holidays for my twice Yearly (Spring/Summer) trips to Bulgaria, this was for the goods I took to an orphanage I visited about 40 miles out from Varna. Then it was stopped, reason given. cost of fuel going up, and if everybody wanted an allowance, too much weight on Plane, I spoke with Church Body in Varna, now I buy Exercise Books and all schooling materials from a Market in Varna or the local Lev Shop (similar to our £1 shop) I now find I am also helping the local traders as well. I also visit a Large Fruit/Vegetable market in Varna and buy the Fruit is Bulk. I wish you luck in your quest with Balkan Holidays. Cheers. F.V.
