 Poster: A snowHead
|
Nick Zotov, for my destination, flights to Geneva were £120+. To get from Geneva to Courchevel without taking all day about it, it would have cost £80-£100 return by minibus transfer. It would also cost me to get to and from Luton or Gatwick, whereas a departure from Waterloo is free. If you don't mind wasting a whole day travelling then flying can be cheaper, but if speed of arrival is important then, for many resorts, the train works out no more expensive than flying and getting a private transfer.
As you say, the factors are different for each resort but I would have thought that most people going to the big French resorts could be better off using the train but just don't realise it.
I now just need to check out the links to Austria and Switzerland as there are so many resorts there that i want to visit...

Tony Lane, yes, different circumstances. Getting on at Waterloo most definitely is not free for me  The convenience of Swiss rail travel has been quite a factor in my choice of skiing destinations lately . Bit surpirised at £120+ air fares to Genva though. I guess it depends on how early you book. But again, Stanstead is a lot more convenient for me than Gatwick/Heathrow. Maybe not for you.

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

Nadenoodlee, I thought it might be black! I've just been to Walgreens (cheap version of Boots) and they had a basket full of 'bands' in all different colour, including tie-dye, saying stuff such as "smile", "peace", "best friends", etc - the best friends one was pink, and a lot like the breast cancer one. My boss has a brown "band' from her University, so it seems like everyone is joining in.
