They will meet us at the Hilton at c. 15.00 (to allow for slight delays) on Saturday and will give a 2.5hr tour for an all-in cost of €130/BGN260. I'd suggest that if there are 10 or more committed to splitting the cost then I'll book. Please put your name below if you are interested:

As a lowly blue, I don't need to worry about seat shifts, but outright cancellation is an issue... Am keen to actually see some of Tirana as well as the 'Do', so have rebooked to the Monday flight and added an extra night at the Garden Inn. Still super cheap at the latter but if anyone manages to make a claim for duty of care do let me know... Wiki updated.

Still seems to be many participants (in the Wiki) being confident of flying with the cancelled BA2651 TIA-LGW on Sunday 22 March. You might want to check your MMB and call BA if necessary.

This is potentially useful for me, there's no good way to travel BRS - LGW but LHR is comparatively pleasant. I've taken the liberty of adding your Saturday schedule to the wiki for others. However, I note you're still listed for the cancelled BA2651 on Sunday; does this alter your plans?

I'm staying overnight at LHR on the 20th, so could be up for nabbing one of the seats over to LGW - thanks for the offer. Staying a few extra days, though, so won't need a space on the return. What time you thinking of leaving LHR on the 21st?

All booked for Sofia. Some questionable Eurowings flights and a work trip back to London will make it a brief stay but I'm looking forward to it.

Darn! I wish I'd checked this thread earlier this month. I'll be in TRS on 20-Mar, and could have extended trip to Tirana (a new country for me!) Now it's too late to change my upgraded to AA J trip from BCN-JFK-SFO on 21-Mar.

I was just looking at my bookings and BA now seems to show that I am on the BA890 again rather than the BA892. I can also see the BA890 on ExpertFlyer etc. Does anybody know if this flight has been re-instated or whether this may be another IT system failure?
