Bulgaria Ski discussion board

I agree we were lucky but considering i put them onto the fact they were disclosing wrong flight times by quite a large margin with Bulgaria Air and the fact we'd already been changed a couple of times before and had very young children ... but yes we were lucky.

But in acting as they have I have no axe to grind with them whatsoever, they treated us exceptionally well all things considered.

Not sure whether having booked through First Choice (and hence the Tui group I think?) would have held any sway. Am still yet to find anyone who was due on the same flights either so maybe with the BAir flight etc and transfers and there being 11 of us that their profit margins may have been eaten into and therefore maybe it was relatively cash neutral to cancel us, especially if the whole 11of the party accepted the compensation too - maybe it became irrelevant if we went or not!

Interesting. I don't think anyone's intimated that it's 'Balkan's fault' that a flight isn't full. Thing is, this being the fourth change we've had (the other's were all flight changes but from the same airport) and it's far from a minor inconvenience, I'm left wondering if cancelling the whole trip is more sensible than messing about trying to make it work. 'Compensation' for accepting the change doesn't go anywhere near covering additional travel costs and I'm at a bit of a loss. There's still no way of guaranteeing that the Newcastle flight will actually exist in a month is there? Could end up in a worse position then suppose. *shrugs*

Just wondered what anyone else thought.

Yes, Anne, I had thought about driving. Parking is expensive and it's not a journey I'd volunteer to make!
