 Poster: A snowHead
|
Neilson seem to be working to a Sat changeover date this year resulting in changeover on 24/12 and 31/12.
This is far from ideal and I'm wondering if TO's / hoteliers are likely to do something different? I'm particularly interested in Austria (where Christmas Eve is their main celebration).
Thanks, Pete

This year (2010), with Christmas falling on Saturday, many did Mon to Mon, but last year everyone had to travel on Boxing Day.

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

I disagree for Austria. My experience was that some did Sunday/Sunday and the UK TO's did Tues/Tues. I found nobody who was doind Mon/Mon (and believe me I looked)!

Some TO's are already stating what days they are using for next season. Eg Ski Total are doing Friday-Friday for December.
And ditto the above comment, was Tues-Tues over the Christmas/New Year period for the Saturday changeovers I knew of in Austria (Inghams and Crystal).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Neilson and Crystal are doing changeovers on 24/12 and 31/12 (apart from Italy and Andorra 19/12 and 26/12). We don't want to go for Christmas and can't leave on the 31/12 as our son has to be back at school on the Tuesday after New Year.
IMHO these changover dates are complete madness. New Year is supposed to be a mega peak week but is now ruled out for anyone with kids at school.

An update. We have decided to fly to Milan on the 26th Dec for 7 nights. Flights came in at a very reasonable £90 return from Brum for the three of us (thanks to Airmiles). Also booked a highly rated B&B in Cervinia for £1300. We'll hire a car for the 90 min drive.
We were going to try Soldeu but the transfer times looked grim and I didn't fancy the layout of the town.
Flight to Innsbruck are looking pricey and I didn't fancy our chances with a Monday to Monday booking.
