Just reviewed my options, Train or Drive and the cost is off putting both coming out at £300+ so It's just a matter for me to sit it out and hope I get away asap for some extra skiing before the EoSB

Well Argenterre's comment to me was quite sarcastic I thought. Of course we don't have contingency plans for bloody everything but when they keep on extending it everytime there's an announcement then it would make me consider other options if like you, I was looking to fly quite soon and that's all I was saying. I probably would wait before I parted with any money though.
Anyway hope all of those travelling soon get it sorted and can fly as booked.

I'm booked with Mark Warner, in Tignes and are due to fly from Gatwick at 6.30 tomorrow. We are booked in a local Hotel tonight, but we are sat here contemplating the 200 mile drive to Gatwick, just to be sat around.
All they are saying is turn up 3 hours before the time they annouce that they will open the air space.
Met office reports don't look good and even if we do get a window, Met Office officals are saying it will be around for a week. At which point we have to get back.
Seriously considering writing off the cost of the Holiday and going to Aviemore for the week. But I guess thats what the Tour operators want you to do!

I am due to fly Luton to Geneva at 7.35am Monday morning, already for a short break with Mountain Sun. I have a Travelodge booked and paid for, for the Sunday night, so, unless the flights are defo cancelled, I will still head off, if given the option to change till Tuesday, I will, I would be just as happy with a 2 day ski trip, than none at all. If we don't go anywhere at all, any suggestions of what Luton has to offer before we head home again

Any one with good SNCF Knowledge?
Just been checking my Train tickets it says it's VALID FROM 17/04 to 16/06
However the Depart Date is 17/04
So does this mean they are still valid or are they no good?

Dwarf Vader, still valid, if you are travelling on 17/04

Dwarf Vader, Yes .. SNCF tickets are usually printed from machines with the actual date ... am I missing something ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
I got them through raileurope.
Having re read the small print I think they wont be valid once I get out there. But I will try it on at the ticket office

I'm planning to call my friends at Snow-Express to see if they can do a coach to meet the Lardy bus at Geneva - they've officially finished for the season (their last bus returns to the UK overnight tonight) and we would have to try and arrange something (maybe with a small TO) to see if they want to take the return leg to keep costs down, but it could work. I'm going to see what the situation is on Monday and call them then.

Dwarf Vader, YSE ski have arranged coach travel tomorrow for their clients going to Val D'Isere - you could try calling them to see if they'll sell you a spare seat (if there are any). Worth a shot? I'm sure they'll drop you at a reasonable stopping place. Call 07707 034994

Husband was at Heathrow today , says its like a ghosttown- they said he is on first available flight out, and so far it is... Tuesday We were joking about ships, but now actually looking at options maybe to New York, and then flying on to Joburg. That is if situation persists for much longer, and nobody really knows.

(or others... but they get the worst seats next to the toilet) who are stranded in Austria....
my Daughter will be really upset if we don't get to Tignes, so this would be an ideal replacement.
