 Poster: A snowHead

So any company that has given you assistance in the past could not possibly charge somebody else extra for transfers.
No ignorant prejudice there then.

That wasn't what you said. You clearly stated that Neilsens charge extra for transfers and said that this was a terrible racket.
You only need to correct this to "Neilsens once charged me extra for a transfer on a late booking" and you will be misleading nobody. This part of the board is fo "data data data". It helps if it is accurate and not plain wrong.

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

Specialman, Indeed.
Chris Bish, My statement is accurate. I see no reason to qualify it by the addition of the words 'once' and 'late booking'.
It is a terrible racket - even if you consider Neilson to be the saints of the ski industry.

FenlandSkier, If you look back to the beginning of the thread, you will find that dave_wick who asked in the first place if transfers were included in TO deals was given inaccurate information along with a few opinions about the travel industry.
I will accept that the inaccurate information was later clarified, if that helps. I don't come on here to insult people or get into rows.
(or be insulted come to that, but I deal with kids a lot.....)

For my part all I can say is that we've enjoyed three holidays with Neilson (two in the winter) and the only reason we changed last year was that they didn't go where we wanted to. We've never been charged extra by them for a transfer.

Surely the point is that you can very easily find out, before you part with any dosh, exactly what will be included in the package. If you part with the dosh before finding out you're an idiot. I think the best of the TOs do a good job on small margins and for people taking their first ski holiday, especially, they're a good thing. Worrying about how and when to put on snow chains is no fun with a car full of kids when you've never driven up a snowy road before. We did some years of low cost, and often last-minute, catered chalets and always felt we got what we paid for, and sometimes more. Some people expect ridiculous standards for a couple of hundred quid and just love to moan. Of course you can get a rogue chalet crew at any level - my son flew out to Val D'Isere half way through last season to cook in one of the most expensive chalets in the resort, where the food had not been up to standard because the operator had skimped on staff. He asked for £600 a week, plus board, ski pass and single room, and got it. And the guests were happy! But then they were paying up to £2000 a week each, accommodation only. Some of the chalets we stayed in for a tenth of that just had a couple of young graduates with no real cooking experience running the place, but they were intelligent and hard working and not expected to produce "designer meals". They did fine. Horses for courses, as people have said.

Paid Neilson's for a Motoring Breakdown Policy to go with a ski-drive package purchased at the same time. Policy was fine, except for it failing to cover the days of travel, and including some days where we were still at home. Attempts to get it corrected were so frustrating, and plain awful, that I recorded them on cassette, and posted them to Neilson's, with a suggestion that they play it back at a suitable staff training session. Compensation and an apology followed. Horses for courses indeed, not been back.

Went to Flaine with Inghams and 9 of us stayed in an amazing s/c chalet at a bargain price. It was supposed to be a 9 person chalet but they upgraded to a 14 person chalet no charge . Transfers included. Only issue was we had to hang around till 5pm till our chalet was ready but I'm sure that wasnt an Inghams issue. I would definately use them again

eddyr, got a Ski Independence brochire through today. Good prices and great selection of properties too.
I like that fact that all the prices include Euro Tunnel passage. It doesn't say abvout if you ahve two cars though – I take it you pay a supplement for an extra car on the train?
