re: flight nighmare

Varna would be 8-9 hours to Pamps and more to Bansko.
Bourgas would be 5-6 to Pamps and 6-7 to Bansko

I think it's quite a bit less for Greece. There's an airport in Kavala too in greece which Thomson fly to in the summer. That would be 1 hour if they get a move on and open up the new road to Smolyan Very Happy But hey are having to build tunnels for the bears

re: flight nighmare

It took us 11 hours to get to Pamps from Greece, we thought that was tough, but those that arived last night really have had it tough, I do feel for them, esspecially if they have kids.

re: flight nighmare

Is it just Thomson flights that are affected or are Balkan doing the same?
