I cannot imagine there is much of a market for this, but it is Snowheads and people are always looking for trips.....
Due to a drop out on a BA group booking I have 1, possibly 2 spaces on the BA flight, Heathrow to Venice 18th to 25th January next year. 0840 flight out and 1245 from VCE on the way back. Economy Plus fare @ £148pp return. This is currently around £380pp.
As long as one leg is with the group the other can be varied, so you could fly out earlier or return later. The price for this might be different though, so i would have to check. You could stay out for three weeks and do both SH Bashes that follow, for example. I am returning for the Birthday Bash but cannot do the whole three weeks, sadly.
Obviously anyone with a flight to VCE also needs somewhere to stay, so....
If you were thinking of a whole trip out to the Dolomites for that week, I am also about to return 1 twin/ double room to the excellent Garni Bellavista in Arabba for the same week (I have 6 booked, I now only need 5 and would be happy to lose one of the two deposits already paid if the same people wanted to take it) and will be organising private transfers both ways. Those would work out slightly cheaper for 2x6 than my current 2x5 set up.
This is not a package holiday and I am not looking for people to join our group. It is a DIY type trip with me as the organiser and I just happen to have spaces that someone else might want to take for their own trip. I would arrange that you get your own table for dinner (taken at the partner Hotel Portavescovo) and ski locker etc. If it makes you more comfortable I could also contact the BV to see if they would mind you taking over the room from me so that you deal with them directly. They are always helpful where they can be.
I know most SHs planning to visit the Dolomites will be on one of the bashes but you never know. If anyone wants any more info or exact prices please PM me.

Update......as suspected it has proved easier to hand the spare room back to Garni Bellavista, hopefully they can fill it.
The flight offer remains if for any reason anyone is looking for a VCE flight from LHR around those dates, with the possibility of varying the return leg if required (at unknown cost and possibly suitable for the following Bashes) so i will leave this thread open. As does the offer to join our transfer if you are heading to Arabba or somewhere en route. The flight name change would be free until 2 weeks before travel.

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

@Gluhdog, the price I have paid is only valid for taking both flights with us, but as long as the person travels with us on one of the two flights they are able to pick any BA LHR-VCE flight they like for the other, outward or return. But there might be a cost difference. If you have another flight in mind I am more than happy to make the enquiry to see if it would save you any money compared to what it would cost you to book it independently. By all means PM me if you want me to check.

@toyah807, I thought BA flights were not transferable.

@GlasgowCyclops, I think different rules for group bookings.

@GlasgowCyclops, as@snowdave says
Check BA for exact group booking conditions but a vague summary is.....
10 or more passengers given a price.
2 weeks to pay a deposit of £20pp
Full payment 2 months before travel
All names and API around 2 weeks before travel
25%(maybe 30) of the group can use a different outward or return flight as long as everyone uses the same flight at least one way. This would be at the relevant price when the other flight chosen.
Group booking telephone line
I have to say the phone has always been answered quickly, staff have been really friendly and helpful and I would undoubtedly use it again if it suited my needs.
Given SH numbers on the equivalent flights for BB and PreBB each year I am surprised no Snowhead has made a group booking at the lowest possible price. They would easily find people to join them

Bumping this not really in hope of it working for anyone, but we do now have two spaces on this booking so if there are two people looking for decent priced flights for the above dates (and as before the departure date or return flight could be changed, though the price for that might be slightly different) then PM me as long as it is before the New Year. Price currently £416pp for the same.
