Find cheaper flights to Bulgaria

There are a whole host of reasons to snap up a cheap flight to Bulgaria these days. The country has come a very long way since it was a satellite nation in the old Soviet Republic and now plays host to many thousands of tourists looking for some summer sun in a Black Sea resort or some winter fun in one of the nation's ski resorts.

How to get there
Flights to Bulgaria from the UK serve three main airports: Sofia, the nation's capital and hub for Bulgaria's ski resorts, and Varna and Bourgas on the Black Sea coast. The latter two are primarily used by beach holiday travellers and are served by both scheduled and charter flights. Bulgaria is now on the package holiday roster for the major tour operators so companies such as Thomas Cook, First Choice, My Travel and Thomson all offer flights to Bulgaria. In addition Easyjet offer a service to Sofia and Fly Thomas Cook serve Bourgas so in the low cost sector there are also plenty of options for cheap flights. Bulgaria is also served by British Airways flights which operate to Sofia and Varna from London.

When to go
Obviously much depends on whether or not you are looking for a cheap flight to Bulgaria for a ski or a beach holiday. The winter ski season runs from late December to late March / early April with best conditions usually offered in February and early March. Conversely the summer season for the Black Sea resorts has a classic Mediterranean pattern to it with the hottest, driest weather in July and August but also the biggest crowds and the most expensive flights. Bulgaria is probably at its most pleasant to visit for a beach holiday in the 'shoulder' periods of May / June and September to get a combination of good value and smaller crowds.

What to do
This is all going to depend on the destination for your cheap flight to Bulgaria. The northern Black Sea coast is characterised by wide expansive beaches, safe swimming and the vibrant town of Varna, hence why package holidays in Bulgaria tend to centre around this area. The southern part of this coast is a little more rugged with some picturesque bays and old fishing villages. The coast is also known for its spa qualities with thermal treatments, mineral baths and mud treatments all very common. Sofia, the nation's capital has come a long way since the communist days and is now an entertaining city with plenty of cultural attractions and a rich history befitting one of the oldest settlements in Europe. It is also handily placed for the mountains and the various adventure activities that they offer.
