 Poster: A snowHead
|
Everything I seem to search for is from Saturday 31st December. I want to start a hol on the 1st for various reasons. Is the option of turning up a day late with DIY but then I'm paying NYE prices.
Any help appreciated.

garethjomo, I normally have a Sunday changeover, but won't be doing so for Christmas or New Year . You can't get anyone to come and clean or meet guests on Christmas Day or New Years day.

garethjomo, Our usual changeover is Saturday or Sunday in the s/c chalets, and flexible in the catered Chalet-Hotel. At the moment we are flexible on Christmas week arrival day, as long as vacated by Tuesday 27th (for reasons Hells Bells advises) when the New Year guests (already booked in all properties) will arrive. It's a bit of a nightmare, but worked OK this season.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I think some TOs are offering a 9 day New Year break.
The school hols/demand are what usually bring up the price of the holiday, and school hols start early next Christmas 18th Dec-4th Jan, meaning most people who stick to school hols won't be able to get away for New Year - prices might not be too bad.

garethjomo, This year we needed to start our weeks hol on Sat 1st Jan. We stayed that night at a hotel at Geneva airport and then got an early transfer on Sun 2nd. In resort by 10.30, stayed in P and V apartments which were ready for us (had rung them a few days earlier to let them know we would arrive early) and then were out on the slopes late am.
Suited us and didn´t pay NY prices for the week.

For France the situations is as follows:
Of the big charter TO's, Inghams will be doing Fridays. The others with standard Saturday are still doing Saturdays but aiming to have all flight departure slots as 1 or 2 (the early ones). The exception is likely to be in Turin based resorts such as Serre Che which might have to suffer Mondays.
Those with standard Sundays are likely to move to Mondays as indicated above.
If you are driving and going for Christmas there are lots of special offers of 8 nights for 7 allowing you to arrive on Friday 23rd for the same price which might be a popular solution.
