    It is definitely Sofia.

    Even the FAI have that on their site

    Hope to fly into Burgas week before the game and then fly out of Sofia day after the game.
    Easyjet and wizzair fly to Sofia, so there should be some cheap options

    If you're looking to book with Czech Airlines you might have to put return date as 6th June and select Flexible Dates. Then you can choose 7th. Flight details attached. I just chose 31st May as Departure date.

    Is there nothing easier than a five hour wait in Prague?

    We had to wait a similar time in London on the way to Slovakia and it flew in. You'll be drinking in the bar for less than 3 hours which usually flies. I suppose if you're only going for the weekend though it's not ideal.

    True but, Montenegro would be much tougher than first imagined. You'd have to go through Kosovo in Serbia to get to Bulgaria, possibly Macedonia as well, and god knows what bureaucracy that entails in the current climate.

    Won't be able to go to either Georgia or Montenegro , Italy looks very doubtful at the moment, so Bulgaria is a more favourable option now. I would try and do a mini Balkan tour, and tie Bucharest or Belgrade with Sofia in the trip.

    Matchwise, it is known as very hostile, and on the field, it will be very tough.

    Anyone thinking of staying in Sunny Beach, you can fly into Bourgas with plenty of low fares airlines. A company called Platinum Developments in Sandyford are the biggest builders in Sunny Beach and they have a management company that will rent out apartments in Sunny Beach.

    Might go with the Prague one as Aer Lingus only fly on a Saturday and Tuesday which is not ideal.

    Yeah went with the Czech Airlines one, Out the Thursday back the Monday.

    Aer Lingus flew into Bourgas this year but only started middle of june..Wizz air and sky europe also fly in to bourgas but also tend to start early june..Hopefully one of them starts end of may next year, then its a case of the getting the cheap flights once they come out.

    Thats great info lads.

    What about getting home on the 7th from sofia after the match. Czech Airways €174 seems a bit steep so far in advance.
