 Poster: A snowHead
|
Kids still at school, own a shack in Switz, still employed with limited days of holiday.
That combination means we have to be organised well in advance if we want to get plenty of ski time, but without paying too much for flights.
We booked the three main breaks of New Year, Half Term and Easter very early with BA, but weekend trips I waited until Easyjet winter schedule came out before comparing to BA. Every trip worked out substantially cheaper with BA, most years we have ended up with a mixture of the two. The price difference was significant.
I guess if you fly midweek then Easyjet still works, but for key holidays and weekends BA win this season.
PS...still can't use frequent flyer miles on any such dates though...BA blank out those and keep them for revenue-only customers.

London City is great...if you can fly from there.
I live mid point between Heathrow and Gatwick so indifferent between them.
Lodon City is 2hrs at least y public transport and Stanstead/Luton...forget about that!

Michelle, err, 21/1/09 is a Wednesday...still, those are pretty good fares.
Why does the EJ site insist on you having to remove insurance twice though? Surely not trying to catch anyone out and have them pay for something they don't need by mistake?
Has something gone wrong with the Easyjet booking system? I could have booked a Gatwick-Geneva flight out 24 January back 31 January for £75.98 including ski carriage. That's exceptionally cheap I think. I am most encouraged about next winter.

All I can say, is buy when you like the price..there seems so much movement with fuel prices that I expect price cock-ups in the financial qtrs so it may be time to rectify what they got wrong in the 2nd qtr with the 3rd..or vice-versa...
6 months ago, they would not have foreseen this so budgets have been ruined, IMV

David Murdoch,  I did mean the 24th! It really doesn't matter - the price is the same for the 14 days surrounding the 24th at the moment!
