Been looking nearly every day for Glasgow- Bourgas flights for June. Thomas Cook are asking just over £200 each. Not great, but about £70 cheaper than we paid this June.
I was toying with going via Luton, but in the summer months it wasnt cheap enough to make it worth the extra effort and cost of getting there. Fancied going for a few days in March, and the prices were great, BUT....the return flight from Bourgas is due into Luton only 75 minutes before the last Easy Jet flight of the day to Glasgow. By the time you get off and get your luggage, the check in will be closed. By the time you add in an overnight stop at Luton, it doesnt seem such a great idea.
So if anyone has any influence with Wizz, Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Globespan etc, can you have a word about a budget route from Glasgow or Edinburgh to Bourgas. PLEASE.
P.S. Going to Egypt in December. Checked the flight prices on TC site for flight only. Couldnt believe it. Its a 6 hour flight, compared to under 4 to Bourgas, yet it is much cheaper. I think when it comes to flight only deals, they are ripping us off when we book for Bulgaria.

It's more about volumes of travellers I suspect - more popular destinations = more competition = better prices.
The fact that none of the budget airlines (apart from Wizz Air) have chosen to fly to the Bulgarian coastal airports indicates that they don't see them as viable destinations yet, in terms of profit margins.
This year BA has stopped its previously regular flights from Gatwick to Varna over the winter season - whereas I flew with them for £118 return last March (a direct flight), a test date entered for next March quoted £883 and would be routed via Budapest, with the second leg of the flight served by Malev.
Ive booked a month in bulgaria with my best friend staying in the fourfifteen Hostel. We fly out on june 4th. Visited sunny beach in 2007 and fell in love with the place. If anyone is out there then get in contact . Flying out for a break from uni over the summer and looking to meet people
