Booked up in Feb with Inghams for Pamps, flying from Newcaste to Plovdiv, good flight times, no probs with transfers - laughing I thought.
Letter yesterday informs me that they have not been able to 'finalise our contract for airline seats and have had to abandon our plans to operate this route next winter'. Flights have now changed to Manc - Sofia which is no bl**dy good to me so stuff them. I am cancelling Inghams and now going to book with Balkan who fly Newcastle - Plovdiv.

Just to cap it all the letter they wrote to me was packed full of inaccuracies, they had us flying from East Midlands when in fact we had booked from Newcastle, and the alternative flights offered in the letter were from Brum - it was only when checking the new invoice which was sent to me with the letter and speaking to them on the phone that it transpired the flight was actually from Manc. What sort of organisation do they run??
Inghams - bunch of tossers.
I just hope Balkan prove to be better or I will be one unhappy bunny.
Steve I had a change of return flights with Inghams this year form Sofia indtead of Plovdiv but I did go late March and the flight out was empty! Apart from that they where head and shoulders above Balken I shall always go with them but hey I am only 80 miles from Gatwick so it is not so bad for me! Good luck
weve just booked with balkan again, third time. always been great, reps are great in the resort.
i twisted my ankle on the last night, when the rep saw me hobbling into the airport she went through and made sure i got a seat with legroom, not an easy thing with the olde worlde bi planes balkan fly
are you taking kids ? if you are theyve got kids places free for half term !!
Carl - yep we are taking kids but we are planning to meet up with some people who we met last year and they have already booked up for the same week as we had booked.
Dan, thats one of the problems with living 'up north', limited flights from regional airports (about the only problem come to think of it!). We flew from Gatwick last year but it is a 6 hour journey back home and on one occasion I found myself drifting off to sleep whilst driving - dangerous stuff so I thought 'hmm best not do this again'. Hence the determination to only fly from somewhere reasonably close to home.
Lucky you Carl as you obviously have a different half term to us next year. Our week 12-19th Feb is excluded from their free child offer. I work in a school so we have to go then so it works out b********** expensive You got my hopes up then for a second!
