Sold out! Flights and buses full as Romanians and Bulgarians head for the UK



Bulgarians and Romanians were  preparing to travel to Britain as restrictions on working are lifted tomorrow Wednesday January 01,2014

When controls imposed in 2005 are lifted tomorrow Wednesday January 01,2014, 29million from the two countries will gain the right to work in Britain.




Almost all flights from Romania to England are full – even though one airline doubled the number to meet demand – with one-way tickets selling for up to £3,000 each.

And all tickets for seats on buses leaving the Bulgarian capital of Sofia until January 9 have been snapped up.

All seats on two British Airways flights from Sofia to London Heathrow next Sunday and Monday – each carrying more than 152 passengers – have been sold.
