Im thinking of making this trip, spending a week in Sunny beach, and travel to Sofia on the day of the game.

Its a good 5 or 6 hour trip is it not from thet nearest beach to Sofia.
In Trap we trust
I believe the flying time from Sunny Beach to Sofia is close to 2 hours, not ideal to be heading up on the day of the game.

Ye, 6 hours by train and slightly less than the 6 hours to drive it( from sunny beach area)and 1 hour 5 mins to fly from bourgas to sofia

The game's on a Bank Holiday weekend, which is a bit handier. Thinking of Saturday to Tuesday with one day's holidays. All depends on kick off though. They're playing Italy next month with a Saturday evening kick off, which'd be perfect.
It's not on the bank holiday weekend.
Well I suppose if you are a student then every weekend is one.
Ballcocks! Damned first Monday, not first weekend...
Thanks gspain. Made my day. And I ain't been no student for a while now!
Once a student allways one
I think "alumnus" is the word your evidently non-college-educated mind is struggling for.

We booked our flights with Czech Air yesterday. We arrive in Sofia on the Thursday in the early afternoon and leave in mid afternoon on Sunday. It came to 337 Euros which is ok. We could have done better on the price but the times suited us so we're happy enough. It was, up until a couple of days ago, possible to do it for about 250 Euros by flying to Gatwick on Aer Lingus and from there to Sofia on Bulgarian Air but that involved a 7:45am flight coming home on the Sunday morning so that was a non-runner for us.
Is it not only an hour between flights in Prague ? looked at it but thought it might be a bit tight although there is a second flight later on. air france is something similar only 40 mins for a connection in CDG
I agree...and in my experience, anything less than 90mins is almost a guaranteed "non-connection"
Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
We've booked that as well. As the onward flight to Sofia is with Czech Air we should get our boarding passes in Dublin so there will be no need to check in in Prague. As this is a short trip there will be no need for suitcases (like the double header) just hand luggage (even for the "FLAG"). This will mean staying in the transit area and just going to the gate for the onward flight. Usually (hopefully) early morning flights are not delayed.I agree...and in my experience, anything less than 90mins is almost a guaranteed "non-connection"
It will also mean no possibility of lost luggage like some people on the double header

6 of us are on the same flight (czech airlines via prague) fri-sun.
It seems that both flights will be full of irish, so even if the first one is delayed, they will probably hold the 2nd one anyway... (booked from dublin to sofia)
no accomadation booked yet. any experiences on the best areas to be located in the city of sofia?
If you are flying somewhere via somewhere else and it’s a single booking with the one airline then they are obliged to get you to your final destination. The last time I flew under these circumstances they held the second flight for us. If I was flying under two separate bookings on the one airline or two separate bookings on two different airlines I’d be concerned, in fact I wouldn’t have made the booking at all but like I said, when it’s one booking on the one airline, you’re safe as houses.
On another note we decided to splash out on the hotel. Normally we’re happy to go cheap and cheerful but you don’t often get the opportunity to stay in a five star city centre hotel for 120 Euros each a night for a single room, so we said we may as well. If anyone else is tempted you’ll find the hotel at www.arenadiserdica.com
The website only allows you to book one room at a time so I found it as easy to deal with them over the phone. By the way, the website says 100 Euros a night but there's 20% VAT to be added on.
