blame the labour government - most of your £160 is tax

I'm almost misty eyed as I recall the halcyon days of tax-free living under Thatcher, Major et al. And I'm really excited when I think of the tax-free flights that we'll get under Cameron's crew  .

Friend of mine booked our flights from Manchester to Champery for 9th January 2010.
We paid £120 including ski carriage. Offer ended though on 31st August 2009. SORRY 
I thought a good bargin and although we didn't book through Thomsons they are a Thomson flight.
Found out today that Airport tax's are going up again in November so deal is looking very good.
B.T.W becuase we are travelling independently if the flight gets diverted from Champery to say Lyon due to bad whether which is always a possibility with Champery Airport. what come back have we on our transfer taxi.
Obviously our existing agreement with Taxi firm is from Champery to Valmorel. Can we claim for extra charge off our insurance and also will Taxi Firm automatically divert to Lyon.

I work for an airline that flies into Chambery, and have flown a variety of approaches, landings and emergencies in the simulator. There seems to be an unspoken rule among the pilots that if you survive Chambery 3 times you don't have to got there again  . Nowhere else in the world has directions for the pilots which go along the lines of 'follow the motorway and turn right at the supermarket.....'
Not an easy place to get into or out of in an aeroplane, and a good chance of a diversion.

The headline bargain fares from no-frills airlines have given you ridiculously unrealistic expectations, if you think £160 return is "flippin expensive".
Even 15 years ago, you would not have got anything like that low a price. From anywhere in the UK to anywhere in Europe.
Yes, you can nowadays often get cheaper than that, but only if you pick a relatively unpopular route, or manage to book at just the right time.

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

I'm misty-eyed when I recall the taxation increases under Labour (and that link only shows the damage up to 2007).
