My SOF trips

23/11 - 24/11
29/11- 30/11
7/12 - 8/12

I've gone on the assumption that that is outbound - inbound & put it in the wiki, pls correct me if I'm wrong.

My dates are 23 Nov, 30 Nov, 4 Dec and 7 Dec.

I’ll see you on 23rd November then!

Is the opportunity to leverage this still open? I’d assume it would also be useful for decent AA LP earning. What kind of price point should I be looking for if it’s still feasible?

Quite right too. No woman in her right mind would. I read through thinking that if I were Bulgarian, I’d be a mite miffed that people would come multiple times without ever seeing the City. It is easily visited in a day, and what more I find the Bulgarian people vey accommodating and pleasant. If ever they move the BA flights to bus gates then B2Bs would go pear shaped.

I turned 1 trip into a long weekend, but I'm sure most cities would think we're crazy hopping in & out without seeing the area!

For anyone who is interested, the refurbished rooms at the Hilton are stunning - much more than a lick of paint. It should also be said that the food in Sofia is excellent, and excellent value.

Don't you get less that the 0.8p Nectar value though when using Avios?
Then again I guess you can factor in the Gold value and Avios earned back.

I'll be doing a B2B on Tues 8th Nov. Looking at the seat plans, I don't think I'm the only one.

My year end is the start of December.

Having seen the bulk of the dates, seems the deals here are more November centric?

Spent many a wonderful trip in Sofia, lovely city!

I can also recommend the Hyatt Regency for a place to stay.

Simply because I was more free in Nov :) We're planning on staying at the IC on the 1 trip i'm staying in SOF for.

Nice! If it's not too late, I'll be jumping on this.
Details in the TP run thread(s)?

Not sure there is much in there other than finding cheapest dates and nesting bookings as many couldn't book same-day return.
