Optional walking tour - needs advance reservation: It is possible to have a private tour through 365association.com (https://freesofiatour.com/). 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:

Booked onto both trips, and following the trend as far as hotels are concerned.

The TIA fares seem to have gone up a tad, so no JER shunt for me this time unfortunately, although I am not complaining with a 'DO' starting from my local airport!

Row 5 for Sofia, and row 4 for Tirana though... late arrival to the party clearly

Hi all,

I've decided to come along for the TIA mini-do as well! Will be flying on the Saturday on BA2648 (is it too early to call this the 'party plane' yet? ) and flying back on Tuesday 24th on BA2649.

Could I ask someone to update the Wiki for me please?

I'll also follow suit with the hotels as well.

Thanks in advance - and looking forward to seeing you.

Cheers

Had a great time in GIB, so have decided to come along to Sofia! (And, great to have bumped into people from GIB in GF and CCR since then!)

Please can someone update the wiki for me:

BA892 on 29 Feb 2020
BA891 on 1 March 2020
Staying at the Hilton

Will check if I can make the TIA one.

Sounds like a good gathering building up on both trips.

And with my three Do's, plus the babybus fare, I think I'm only 220 tier points short of gold for 2021... good planning?

There are some rows blocked out in case the curtain needs to move back.

However, with this and other FT inspired TP runs and DOs, I do wonder if some algorithm in the BA booking system triggers an alert and there is someone currently scratching their head over why, 9 months out, there appear to be 24 seats booked in CE and only 3 in ET for the LHR-SOF leg (and similar for the return and the TIA flights)
