 Poster: A snowHead
|
I would be glad of your advice on last-minute bookings. After an expensive and not very snowy trip last Christmas, I'm trying to hold my nerve this time, to see where the snow is, and find something a little cheaper.
I would prefer to do it independently: seven days isn't quite enough; but that would depend on a very cheap flight, and they seem to be getting dearer as Christmas approaches. The discounted packages I see on the internet are not attractive: not particularly cheap, and the choice is limited.
Have I already missed the best deals, or are the tour operators (and airlines) yet to release the good stuff ?
I'm after a reasonably comfortable hotel, half-board, at least a week between 18th and 31st December. I like Austria, but I hope to be open-minded about the destination.
Thanks.

Franz, You shuold pick an airport, book your flight and go from there. Snow is falling all over the alps and set to continue next week. Pick a choice of resorts near to the airport of your choice and bookmark their websites ...... Christmas is not generally completely full - at least in France. It's New Year that gets completely crazy! Good luck. Forget TOs.

Independant you want to book flights early and accomodation late to get stuff cheap - especially at a peak like xmas. By now I would tend to wait for Tour Operator late availability (assuming only a couple or 4 people)
Alternatively the train is still not too bad and Lufthansa have only just released a set of their winter flights which are still reasonable. Easyjet is very cheap on the 1st of Jan still
