Know how you feel - Easy jet has also cancelled flights from Athens/Luton (I live in Greece) before I could just go for the weekend to see my parents - now it's a big hassle and cost!
Are there any flights for Thessaloniki in Greece from Ireland and then make the short journey from there to Bansko instead of from Sofia?

There are no direct flights from Thessaloniki to Ireland.You need to have at least one stop over and this is very costly.

Luckily we have many Greeks to replace you, so our slopes will still be full.

Fly BA instead. I always do now worth the extra cost - o at least it is to me I just save up a little harder during the year.
