boredsurfin, Do use clubcard vouchers to? At what point does frequent traveller on tunnel become of benefit?

That's not even half term week, it's the next week I believe (in Cambridgeshire anyway). Likely to be even more expensive. As my daughter started senior school last September I'm now tied to school holidays only. Already booked BA flights to Zurich and an apartment for 2 in Zermatt. With Swiss Rail transfer will work out about £340 each, not bad at all.

Sage, Worried me a little there! That thread confirms that schools finish on 13th February and return on 23rd. The flight price quoted above is for the previous week.

Doh!!! Must have been taking the thick pills! Just realised the prices quoted are for outward flights on the 2 Saturdays.

ThomsonFly don't appear to be that cheap and couldn't get all the flight options to appear, so instead I just booked the Easter week with BA - Gatwick Geneva for £77.80 return inclusive and am feeling rather pleased with that

casnbs, Thanks so much for the notice. I have just booked our flights from the fantastic Doncaster Sheffield Airport to Geneva for the busy 27th December Saturday flight returning on Sunday 4th January. For 2 adults with 25 kilos each of check-in luggage plus 2 sets of skis and taxes it is £360. I know this is not silly cheap but I am very happy, particularly as the airport is so close to us and hassle free and we will get 8.5 days on the slopes

Nobody ever seems to be very cheap for Geneva but thomson were certainly a bargain to Salzburg this year with slz to cov at 6.50 euros!. Austria is fast becoming the skiing country of choice for me at the moment as I can usually save 500 quid or so for the family flights and the transfers are often much shorter....for us anyways.

Do they tend to get more expensive as the year moves on? I am looking at going skiing from w/s 12th December, not sure of resort, prob will book flight and then see about accommodation closer to the time. Does anyone know if I'd have a problem booking for a single in a chalet / hotel if I wait till very near the time?

KateF yes flights do tend to go up in price but not always!
12th dec is v early so everywhere will be quiet and accom will be easy to find but bear in mind that only some resorts will be open so you may have to be flexible to find decent snow........

Roger C, thanks. I'll have a look at flight now and book just before I go I think. Unfortunately I am not allowed to take leave during Jan, Feb and March, so I try and go once in the early season and once towards the end, also my mum would kill me if I disappeared over Xmas and New Year again!

I bought my flights on christmas eve and they were 321.00 compared to 761.00 when they first came out. You only really need to book early on peak flights which they know will sell out, otherwise just pick them up when money is generally being spent on other things.

Helen Beaumont, the job from hell it certainly is, no-body told me until I'd got myself into a 3 year contract....17 months to go!
