Helen, when's your half term ? Ours is 14th Feb.
Just re checked the LP - Gen flight that I booked last night. Now up to £300 ! Also checked a mid week - mid week trip in Feb, would have cost something like £13 out and £9 back. I think a holiday without the kids may be called for !

Have you thought of flying from Leeds Bradford Sarge? The budget outfit http://www.jet2.com had some good rates last year on their new Geneva route....

Sarge, not all of the flights are available. There have still to release their schedule for certain places in October e.g. Luton to Geneva.

Sarge, our kids have half term a week earlier, irrelevant though as we are going to Whistler a month later, and can't book until we know if we have our own apartment or not by then.

£68 !  D'OH
A lesson for next year. I must make a note of that.
Leeds Brad isn't that far and a Travelodge near by would be less than EZjets flights. Oh well, it's paid for now and will be forgotten by February.
Helen. Whistler, wow, that will be great. Went there about 10years ago, quite late in the season, but still had plenty of snow. Will U have the guts for the Soudan ? Couloir - as they say over there, No Guts, No Glory.

Sarge, probably not, unless easiski can work miracles in a 2 hour lesson on Les Deux Alpes glacier in 2 weeks time. We were discussin ski technique and our faults during dinner on Friday-apparently I traverse too much, Hubby sticks his bum out and crouches, according to our charming children anyway.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Managed to book for 2nd week in January...flying Liverpool - Basel and returning Geneva - Liverpool for £47 and a long weekend in March Liverpool - Basel return for £33. The bargains are out there!!

Not all the flights are on sale yet. I'm still getting the old "on sale till October" sign for Zurich flights.
|
|

|

You know it makes sense.
|
The bargains are there, no doubt, but with 2 kids in school and the Mrs also a teacher, I'm afraid I'll be lynched if I go during term time without them.....but I think it may be worth it !
Snowball, what resorts are relatively close to Zurich ? I go via Z on the way to work, so may look at an extended stop over !

Sarge, not as cheap as Jet2 but we flew to Zurich with Swiss at half-term this year for under £200 each. Mate did it with BA for a similar amount. EJ are cheaper at quieter times of the year.
a reasonable number of resorts close (timewise) to Zurich, such as Hoch-y-brig, Lenzetheide, Flims/Laax/Falera, Flumserberg, even Arosa and Davos are reachable by train in a couple of hours(ish). Try www.sbb.ch - also check out the ski/rail packages they do.
Finally, we found that going half-term it was generally cheaper and availability was better avoiding France and esp. going to a resort that wasn't a big destination for Brits. We got a great/cheap chalet in Laax through their tourist office.
Luckily though, we no longer have to go at half-term so we'll again have free reign of the selection.

Well, Sarge, there is a regular express bus service to St Anton, but its a long transfer. There are a couple of closer airports but not with cut-price flights (in fact very expensive flights).

St Anton by train is a pleasant trip - but 4 hours-ish to Zurich or Munich.
I guess Innsbruck would be quicker - if there is a cheap flight there. But the flights to there can be unreliable. On a trip to St Anton I once waited 12 hours at Gatwick - only to be flown to Munich, and then bussed to St Anton, because of the weather.
