 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone recommend a few good websites for good last minute deals. Or companies for that matter.
I am looking to book a second trip in Feb? March. Not too fussy, just has to be good value, ie less than 1K for me and the Mrs all in.
Would prefer to go from Belfast but if the price is right will make the trek to Dublin.
So far have checked
Teletext
Thomas Cook
Thomson
Panorana
Ski McNeill (Belfast)
Pinnacle Ski (Lurgan)
Go Hop.com
Best I can get is around £1100 for both of us H/B Passes and hire. Andorra or Sauze D'oux
But I want it cheaper

johnboy, phone up Conor at Pinnacle, and tell him Roy from Topping Leisure suggested you should call. (sometimes phoning the boss of the company gets good results)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

try also www.ifyouski.co.uk have some really good last minute deals, 4 days in val d'isere for £375 when I check a few min ago, this was a B & B with 4 sharing, this one was on the 13th Jan but look nearer the time for better deals. Frankly I have found Teletext to often be the most up to date and with the REALLY juicy deals. School hols finish in France on the 5th March so from that weekend onwards you will find things considerably cheaper.

Frosty, part of the problem is the Northern Ireland Supplement - anything from £50 to £150 per person extra.

Book a Gatwick package ?
Then get a cheap Easyjet flight. Belfast to Gatwick, late night, the day before and kip on the terminal sofas?
Have'nt checked Easyjet prices recently but in summertime a year ago the Belfast trip came in under £50 and that was at 'reasonable' hours in the daytime. Really late/early flights usually cost less.

You could try www.1ski.com I think they are in some way related to www.ifyouski.com that Frosty, mentioned earlier.
They especially have some good deals on accomodation only aswell as package type, if you wanted to put your own flights together through a budget airline. You can get some quite good deals that way.

johnboy, Check the Ryanair flights. They seem to go to the oddest places, but one is St Etienne and also Nice. Either could make a cheap trip to the more southern resorts, and a hire car would do the rest. Self catering, book through the resort websites.
Look at mine - not a travel op but have some links that might be useful. www.easiski.com

Crystal / Inghams might have some specials too.
