 Poster: A snowHead

Don't know if this is anywhere else, but an off chance look at Ryanair confirms that their winter flights for Stansted (at least to Grenoble) are now on sale.
Wouldn't call them cheap though....eg 8th March/15th March 49.99 out 109.99 return plus tax etc

Thanks Annie, at least we know where they'll be flying for the winter. Too early for the cheap Ryanair winter flights, just a case of constantly monitoring the prices now.

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

How can these folks justify calling themselves "budget"airlines?? The Ryanair site has a cheeky button labelled "Book cheap flights" - yeah right! It's - £130 each way to Stansted-Grenoble for Feb half term - that's £260 and I can get scheduled flights from much nearer home (with scheduled conditions not cattle truck conditions!) with KLM via Amsterdam or Air France via Paris to Geneva for £150-200.
To those of you with more experience
- when is a good time (if any!) to book half term ski flights?
- Should we be taking the scheduled ones?
- Do they put their prices up as seats start to get booked?
- Do the budget airlines prices come down at all, making waiting worthwhile?

NewSkier, At half term, if there are several of you (3+), it's undoubtedly worth driving. You can book Speedferries in advance and it shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

NewSkier,

This is the first in 5 years of booking group holidays at half-term that I have not managed to book RyanAir cheaply. They came out a week or so ago, but I forgot to check in the morning and by the time I had spotted them at a not too bad price and then rang a few friends, they had gone up hugely. Have ended up booking scheduled flights, but not to the airport we wanted so will have a 5 hour transfer when we arrive! The prices just keep going up when more people book on, even within our group when we try to all book together. In previous years we have spread the cost between us to make it fairer. As you say at least with scheduled flights you don't have the cattle truck conditions.
