Dont know if anyone has booked Manchester - Sofia with Bulgaria Air? However, I went to book mine today after checking the flights yesterday and they were at a decent price. Out Friday morning back Sunday afternoon for about 190 pound/euro.
Anyway theyve pulled the flights today. I spoke to their call centre and she said anyone who had booked would get a refund but didnt say why they had stopped flying the route (credit crunch I suppose). I think they are just flying one day a week now (Sunday)
Bummer - need to find something else now!!
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

I booked this flight last November. They haven't told me that it's cancelled. I had a friendly text from Alitalia yesterday telling me they've cancelled my flight from Bari!!! These shysters have had £/€100s of my money for months now. If I try to cancel I lose all my money; they cancel and it's no problem. Let's see if they get back to me - I'll have them sort alternatives for me - if they want to cancel they can sort it.
Check the Bulfgaria Air website. If you check the timetable you can see they no longer fly from Manchester on the days you have booked. Also there is a UK telephone number you can check with.
Also, Id be interested to know what they offer you as an alternative. I had a look and from Manchester there only seems to be Lufthansa with a long change over.

Flying with Bulgarian airlines our Friday back Sunday. Does anyone have any experiece of flying with them?
Air Bulgaria
Was booked to go out from Manchester Fri 5 June
got a call from them today to say flight is now cancelled. Took up offer of alternative flight from Gatwick. Fri a.m. Now have Aer Lingus into Gatwick early Fri - good thing they have taken this "strategic option" to load up on flights into Gatwick. Ryanair option is too late on Fri.
Unfortunately, have to take a hit on the Ryanair into Manchester
Painn in the butt, but could have been worse - remember being stuck in a lift in the hotel in Sofia in 1987. Also, it was pi*sing rain, and we were robbed by ref
Things can only improve
I was there in 1987 and flew with Balkan Airlines to Plovdiv (why? don't know as we had a coach drive through pot holed lanes to Mount Vitosha near Sofia). None of this safety info taxiing down the runway. Food was like cold overcooked beef with badly boiled half rotten potatoes. The cabin crew were less proactive than the passengers, some of whom were p*ssed after staying up all night to catch an early flight.
One of my mates even got hold of the public address and made a speech slagging us all off. The icing was a fight breaking out between two Irish lads from luton as we're landing. The cabin crew couldn't have given a greater f*ck.
I'd put money on saying that Bulgarian Airlines are nothing like Balkan Airlines.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
As a postscript I've googled Balkan Airlines and it seems that they are now Bulgarian airlines. Good luck!![]()
