Good Opportunity to Re-register your Company

We would like to inform all of our clients that Wizz Air are offering return

during the months of October and November and with this in mind it may

be the perfect time to come to Bulgaria and re-register your Company

which must be done by December 2010.

Best regards

Good for you Willow - you did fantastic! I have to work around my job they finally agree to let me have the Easter hols but not the flights have scored. Looking at end of Sept or 1st Oct for our Garden Party this year will see what flights are like now for then.

I noticed on Wizzair you have to pay by bank transfer - so is there a charge for that too - This would eliminate the charge for using your debit card. Is there a catch
Oddy

Just tried the booking but it kicked me out, I got all the way through the the payment.
Have some question below:

* If you pay by bank transfer, what are the bank charges??? DON'T KNOW, I ALWAYS USE MY LLOYDS AIRMILES CREDIT CARD*
Are you still allowed to take the 10kg hand baggage? YES*
How do you know how much luggage you can take is still 25kg or did I read it was more - 32KG
when I went through the booking procedure, in it asked how many bags. I put in one for
each of us and a costing of £26 per bag. THAT IS FOR EACH WAY, IT'S A CON, IF LIKE US YOU TAKE OUT STUFF FOR YOUR HOUSE AND LEAVE THE CASE*
Also also if you do not click web check in there is an additional amount charged YOU CAN'T CLICK THE WEB CHECK IN UNTIL 7DAYS BEFORE DEPERTURE
Thanks Oddy

Oddy, I dont know about bank transfer as I have always used my Lloyds airmiles credit card ,so can't help there
BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Each passenger is permitted to carry:
One piece of hand baggage to maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm and not exceeding 10kgs free of charge,
and
Up to 6 pieces of checked-in hold baggage not exceeding 32 kilograms each.
Hope that helps and try booking again

WizzAir Makes Emergency Landing at Bulgaria's Varna Airport

The dispatch centre at the airport in the Bulgarian Black Sea city of Varna has received an alert about a technical failure in a craft of the low budget carrier WizzAir.

The call about the A320 plane travelling from London to Varna with 152 passengers on board had come at 6:25 pm, the airport's press centre informs.

The airport has been immediately placed in high alert with the gathering of all emergency and rescue teams, fire trucks, and police from the airport as well as teams from the city.

The plane landed normally and the rescue teams have not been used at all. They were dismissed after the landing.

Have you actually done that trip Mickhev, if you did it in 2 hours you must have been travelling between 80 and 100 mph
On the map it looks as if the airport is north of the city and the overall distance is about 140 miles

Look what I found on google: Wizz Air New Route from London Luton to Romania.

I am lost for words, so can anybody help me. In my competition I am looking for good reasons why people should go to Bulgaria, here is one good reason
why they won't, over £1600.00 for a family of four without accommodation

In August of 2007 I flew out here with wizzair for 4.99GBP plus taxes. I have some friends, with 2 young kids, who desperately want to come out and visit - but at 1,400GBP for the family, they just can't afford it.

You would think with so many flights in and out of Burgas airport (1 every day in peak season) they could reduce the prices a little. Most my visitors now fly Gatwick - Sofia with Easyjet and get the bus or train cross country. Unfortunately not an option for my friends with 2 small kids. I also know a few who book cheap packages to Sunny Beach just for the flights - this might be a cheaper option, especially when you get free kids places!!!

Just checked those dates out of interest with ryan air London Stansted to Plovdiv and it comes to £128 + the odds and ends (which I did not check) so I dont know if that is an alternative for you, This journey works for me as my in laws and my car are half an hour from Plovdiv
(even though we also go to Pomorie) .I think I read on another thread that there is a good coach conection from Plovdiv, but dont quite me on that.

:Howdy:Further to my previous posting I have now checked out some alternatives. Most of the package holidays are into Bourgas and very few into Varna, but I did find one for Albena, Hotel Magnolia, All Inclusive including transfers for £489.00 that is only £81.00 more that a Wizzair's return flight
It is worth looking at Balkan Holidays as well and I have also found some of Bulgarian Air prices better than Wizzair
I have looked at Thomson's brochure and they don't even advertise Bulgaria and people are asking what has gone wrong in Bulgaria
Please put your replies/thoughts on my competition topic under the heading IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Oh look Willow found this then look up flight from Baneasa to Varna

That is good news however, remember Varna airport is closed from 15 Oct 2011 until Feb 2012 which is a pain as this is the day we fly home so a long trip to Burgas
