best time to book

hi all,
going back to bansk this year, went last year and thought it was the great. also been to pamporovo and italy, only this time i dont have to worry about booking early due to holidays.

can anyone advise on the best time to book, intending to go on the last wk in jan/first wk in fed.
went with balken and they were very good so how much can i save???

re: best time to book

You have missed the best time by ages now. You should book when the brochures come out at the begining of the year for the best discounts. I did this year and have got the cheapest deal I have ever had and I am going in more peak season than normal. Having said that there will be plenty of deals around as the season kicks in and if you are not bothered about what accomadation you stay in then book allocation on arrival for a bargain. Also always book on internet for extra discount. Very Happy

Blimey your brochure's are late! Do you not get a preview brochure at the begining of the year like we do over here?

re: best time to book

As Daniel said, best times are either mega early or mega late.
I booked in april/may for xmas week and got a good deal. Have looked since and if I booked now it would cost an extra £150-200 p/p.
Anyway ill make up for that in Booze

We can always do a pre-booking but I prefer to wait and do my calculations Wink
So everybody is now rushing to the travelagents! Booze busy times!

re: best time to book

hoi, tanjette, vorig jaar gaf je mij al enige goede informatie, en ben van plan ook dit jaar weer terug te gaan naar bulgarije. Bij welke ski-operator heb jij geboekt? Ben jij ooit al in Bansko geweest? Vorig jaar in Borovets viel het reuze mee; is het een goed idee om eens van ski-oord te verleggen, of blijven we beter in Borovets?
Thankx

ah Christophe,

ook lang geleden! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
ik heb geboekt bij Neckermann! heb gisterenavond nog eens de prijzen vergeleken met Bansko (ben er nog niet geweest) maar die prijzen liggen heel wat hoger en die verdomde singletoeslagen zijn daar niet mis...(+ 100 euro hallo!!)
Als je wilt boeken zal je het NU moeten doen want de boekingen voor Borovets lopen als een trein (volgens medewerkster)
Ik heb mijn eigen skischoenen maar ik neem wel het volledige skipakket (152 euro)..
Hou me op de ...

re: best time to book

ah Judith,

a financial and 'meeting friends again' decision! Razz
I know that I was sure to take 21 jan but then with a difference of exactly 5 euro(!) for the Samokov instead of the BOR...lots of taxi ride saved...and more time for fun.
Normally Flying Dutchman and his skiclub are there too!
And you know that they can party ooogh.. Booze

Sorry but someday we'll meet..we can bury PP into the snow so people will see a strange kind of pink snow at a certain place Razz Razz Razz Razz Razz
