I have never traveled at easter so don't know what price i should be paying for flights, swissair at the moment have return to Geneva from manchester at £116 per person thats going out easter sunday and coming back on the following sat, is it worth waiting for easyjet etc to check there prices.

jase2472, That sounds rather good .. not that I know anything of the routes. My advice would be grab before it goes up.

last year at the sametime I paid roughly the same with Easyjet, it cost us £432 for a family of 4, however that was going out on a Sat, coming back on a Sun, so I had to stay a night just outside Geneva.....

jase2472 bearing in mind that with sleazyjet even the taxes and baggage/ski carriage costs alone must be £80+ I think you'd be wise to book the Swissair ones now
surely at easter you should be flying out on the friday and back following sunday to maximise slope time......

jase2472, book it, sounds cheap. Pay by credit card.
Best not forget that not that long ago Swissair went bust (and the financial climate was good, cheap oil) and resurfaced as Swiss International. Could happen again. Anything is possible between now and Easter. Mr O'Leary is predicting a large number of airline collapses, so is Willie Walsh.

That's a good price; easyJet won't be super cheap for weekends around Easter.

jase2472, Book, good price. Don't be too worried about them going bust they are owned by Lufthansa, one of the more secure airlines.

jase2472, With Swissair you can, depending on your destination resort, take full advantage of Flyrail. I don't know if you can with Easyjet.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

rich.ll, What is Flyrail? I'm flying to Zurich with BA in February then using a Swiss transfer Ticket to get to Zermatt. Is this something different?

Colin B, Flyrail is a way of getting your bags transported to the resort. You check them in at the UK airport and you'll next see them at the railway station in the resort (many hotels will collect them from the railway for you). You pay for each bag. It works with many airlines, including BA.
On the way home you can check the bags in at the railway station and that's the last you see of them until you're back at the UK airport.
The bags don't travel on the same trains as you so they don't get to resort until a few hours after you.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
rich.ll, Thanks, good idea, and not too expensive. I might think about doing that on the way out at least, in an apartment though not a hotel so I'll still have to collect them.

Its a lottery but I have had some pretty good late package deals at Easter. But you will have to be prepared to be herded around Geneva airport like cattle.
