jase2472,
I don't know I suspect it varies. One thing to watch for though is that many of the no frills airlines have different routes in winter and summer. Not all of the ski routes may be available at Easter.

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

I've booked second week of Easter hols, LGW - GVA, £102 return with BA.
I've also booked half term, LTN - GVA, £170 return with Easyjet.

jase2472, they should be cheaper than half term, by quite a lot if you can be a bit flexible about when you fly (though that obviously has to depend on your accommmodation. The BA prices sound good. easyJet have only just released their schedules for the winter - they won't release the next lot till October, or thereabouts.

Bones, there's six months to go. Lots of people will book much later, so I wouldn't get your hopes up about having whole rows to yourself!

snowbunny, Wondered that but its a scheduled flight
pam w, Wasnt really banking on a half empty flight, just wondered what would happen if they continued to rise and the plane hadn't been filled ?

BA are competitive with easyjet and ryanair at certain times and certain routes. So it'd be a good idea to check BA out.

I am not sure how much attention they pay to that these days. We have friends going to New York in November who booked months ago (at a good price) who have been told that the flight is cancelled so they can (1) get their cash back and stay at home or (2) pay more to fly at another time. No question, apparently, of being moved to another flight on another day at the price they have already paid !

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

malcolm1, who is that with?

malcolm1, it has happened to someone else on here too with a BA flight. They also pulled the flights that a group of SnowHeads had booked to go to last seasons EOSB

You know it makes sense.
|
We booked BA out of LHR to GVA £130 return, better flight times than Easyjet, plus free 23 kg luggage, free ski carriage, drinks & snacks.
