thankyou wazza, once again easyjet have failed to send me an email about releases, despite countless assurances that I am signed up with them. Not all the links seem to be working though - can get Bristol - Geneva, but not Bristol - Grenoble. But it's a start!

Booked flights for our xmas holiday, Liverpool to Geneva yesterday, and the flight went up 10 quid while I was filling the credit card details up, had to come out and go thru the whole process again.
There ain't many cheapies about on there  There's a few decent offers for Basle, but the flight time is poo compared to last year.

Just booked Nottm/Geneva for 20th Jan for under £107 return, inc skis. Maybe not the cheapest but pretty damned good for great flight times from my local airport on a Sat (a first for me) so I should get in a few hours sliding on the arrival day afternoon & a few hours in the morning on departure day.

Freestyle, I think that means they aren't out yet (curent schedule runs until 28th October) - keep checking every couple of hours. If you wait for the 'email-that-never-arrives' you'll miss the best prices Good luck

johnboy, does the flight you want exist on 1 & 4 Nov? Some services have different starts dates, others don't run each day of the week. Check the timetable link (top right front page I think) just to make sure.

Frosty the Snowman, Not half term in Newcastle, that is why they are cheap. For the next week they are £350 return already.

chrisb, Lucky git eh. North Yorkshire and Cleveland have different weeks. Hence our usual party are off at Easter. I imagine Jet2 from leeds will be very expensive for our week when they come out.

Excellent, looks like it's time to start booking the holiday.

johnboy - I tried to book flights to Geneva from Belfast for November and discovered that there are no flights at all from 29 October to 13 December. I then spent 35 minutes holding for customer services and was told that this block had not yet been released, but would be shortly. No explanantion could be provided as to why 14 December to the end of March on this route had been released. I hope that they are right, otherwise a November trip to Tignes will be more expensive than planned!!

That will have cost as much as your holiday....

No, only! £3.50 - customer services is the cheap(est) line to call. Web support and telephone booking are 65p and £1 per minute (or vice versa). I needed to know if they were going to provide a service during those six weeks, otherwise I would have had to look for alternatives.

hilary t,
What part of our fair province are you from?

A few miles east of Moira (between two farms), where the sun is shining this morning.

Any idea when London-Geneva or London-Lyon flights will be released? I vaguely remember that last year all their winter flights were released within a few days of each other.

Hope to slip one in during March, maybe EOSB

I bet the prices for the southern based routes are also going up by the same rate as the northern ones, even though they have yet to be released

johnboy, the Holiday Inn Express near the airport is ok and has a free shuttle.
Does Mr Trax not come and pick you up though ?
