PLOVDIV (PDV) is so obscure in Eastern Europe that OAG does not even list scheduled flights, but it is Bulgaria’s second largest city with a population of nearly 400,000. It is also convenient for the ski resorts of Bansko and Pamporovo. On 1 November Ryanair will commence a twice weekly service on Tuesdays and Saturdays. British Airways, easyJet and Wizz Air compete from Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton respectively to Sofia with a flight time of around three hours. www.ryanair.com
