How are the prices looking? I haven't flown the Big Orange one for a few years so don't know what their peak prices are like.

Gatwick to Geneva, Easyjet, only appear to be there till October 2009 so far.

I noticed the Manchester flights were out last week - much earlier than last year. Means some hasty planning and decision making, though!

Pamski,
From
http://easyjet.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/easyjet.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=83
"Our schedules are usually released in stages, around three to four months before the end of the existing schedule. "
This should mean they would be available around July.
But not sure about the dates and they will not tell you so its just a matter of keeping checking back on the easyjet it now and then

Wayne, was looking for a change from Switzerland and France, maybe Italy might be the place.

radar,
Was only joking - 3 valleys is a brill place for a whizz (best place in the world IMO for off piste with a coffee nearby) and Zermat is stunning

You know it makes sense.

Anyone know the half term dates for next year?
Thanks

Feb half term Newcastle to Geneva £250  return. Same for Liverpool to Innsbruck. Other times (naturally) from £16 each way.
I guess they'd call it supply & demand - I'd call it a complete rip off.

mountainaddict, was a lot cheaper than that when I checked it out earlier today. Fortunately we don't need to go at half term, but I've put my holiday requests in at work for New Year.

I'd call it supply and demand. They wouldn't be able to offer the cheap prices unless someone was paying higher ones and everyone was desperate to go skiing the same week. Either Christmas or Easter (despite the questionmarks over snow, not that there's been a problem the last few years) are preferable to half term.

Just priced Xmas week fron Liverpool to Geneva.
Family of 4, 3 bags no insurance - around £180 more expensive than what I paid last year ! Don't they know there is a credit crunch on.
I think I'll leave it until October like I did last year.......

don't seem to have released the London flights...
I agree with kendadj, wait til later in the year and the airlines will be paying us to fly...

It certainly seems likely that capacity will continue to be shed - there have already been a lot of flights pulled this year. Including BA flights. So although I've booked Manchester/Geneva for Christmas week, for our family, I used a credit card and would not be surprised if the flights don't materialise.

Of course it is supply and demand.
As Helen Beaumont said, prices started lower than that, but obviously there have been people wiating for them to be released and booked up immediately, thus already pushing prices up due to demand.

mountainaddict, I'd call it supply & demand - I take it your not too bothered that their seats have to be cheaper at other times. I doubt if most would want the airline to go bust offering the seats cheaply. To some extent, revenue from high-demand times balances that from low-demand dates.
Just a thought, at those prices, trains start to become attractive.

achilles, mountainaddict lives up in the North East I think. Trains are not really a practical option by the time you change several times. It would be easier IMO to drive.

Helen Beaumont, fair point. I am finding that for the French Alps, train all the way is an option - just - from Lincolnshire. But I can see that from much further afield it isn't. I'd go along with driving - though if there are less than 3 in a car costs per person are a bit steep - or were last time I looked into it.

BMI baby have released their winter schedules also.Worth a look if you want to get in there now.
Has anyone ever waited and got a better deal nearer the time with flights?
They never seem to come down other than the odd £10 off type promotion IMO.

With easyJet you can get a credit if the flights you've bought have come down (which does sometimes happen)

pam w, yup. I guess the airlines are releasing their flight schedules so early so that they can take revenue and improve their cash flow. I also guess some flights will disappear from the schedules as the flight dates draw close - ie I think there will be some consolidation.

I couldn't believe it - I have never got them that cheap before. Mind you I have never booked so early either.

FAQ
- I only ever look at the Italian flights. I'm told that for some strange reason some people actually try and go skiing outside of Italy (not sure if this is true though
