If there is money to be made Ryanair will and can do it.
Basically boils down to
Getting a good deal from the airport on landing charges etc
and a steady flow of passengers.
If you can travel with hand luggage and skis only, book you ski carriage for free in one of their pre winter sales , dont buy refreshments on the flight and can avoid the credit card charges, you can expect return flights for 40-100 stg return incl skis.

One thing that may put people off is the longish flight and iffy snow record

Sincerely hope your right Phil
re: Yesterday in Sofia Echo: Ryanair to Plovdiv
These things dont hapen overnight, this may ( i say may) tie in with the fact that Bristol Airport applied for a route to Plovdiv, must be 18-24 months ago, we though it would be for Easyjet but this could be for Ryanair, i sincerely hope so as ill be booking a season ticket
re: Yesterday in Sofia Echo: Ryanair to Plovdiv
I will just be keeping everything crossed for the foreseeable future. It does make doing the housework a bit tricky though
re: Yesterday in Sofia Echo: Ryanair to Plovdiv
As far as i have been told Ryanair tried to link up with Sofia airport for Irish flights, but Sofia would not come to reduced prices Ryanair wanted. So the next step was Plovdiv... this is going to be a while down the line and will def' benefit next winter season for the Irish tourists. A direct flight after Airlingus stopped theres in the summer. Irish families I have been taking back think that it is very good news......Muffy
re: Yesterday in Sofia Echo: Ryanair to Plovdiv
I personally think that a route to Plovdiv could operate all year round not just for the ski season for tourists, every time me or the wife travel to Sofia with Wizzair or Easy jet 80% of the people on the flight are Bulgarians either buisness men or or people living in the UK going home to see family or family coming over here to visit etc and these are not peak times also flights are always full/busy and Ploviv is pretty central and easy to get in and out of.....re: Yesterday in Sofia Echo: Ryanair to Plovdiv
I think the idea is to do all year round. Will have to wait and see I guess.

Glad to have found this news ... thanks to the OP for sharing, and for the link to the Sofia site which followed.
Not long before we can stop holding our breath.
Michael O'Leary takes a lot of flak from the English media but he keeps pulling in the punters. It's a match made in heaven ... Plovdiv needs meaningful custom so will probably let O'Leary name his price, which he tends to do regardless of circumstances. He stopped going to Malmo when they pushed up prices and I think he ...

He stopped going to Malmo when they pushed up prices and I think he pulled out of one of the Spanish airports when they tried to renegotiate.
I really hope this Plovdiv deal goes through.
