yes - that's a great week to have. Just be sure to choose a resort which won't have loads of other Brit half termers and you should get really cheap accommodation, too.

Colin -You are so lucky I live and teach - where Peterborough meets Lincolnshire. You made me panic as I have bought my flights already- but I think Lincolnshire is the week after. Really annoying as I have to go in half term.

I did check before I booked the flights when Easyjet released them but I always worry about something- I agree about flight prices going through the roof my flight to Luton/Geneva was £170 now they are £354. Now I have to worry about queues.

Although that week is Carnival/Fasching. Just looked at Ischgl and that is the most expensive week of the season along with New Year, etc. Much as I fancy Italy or Austria as a change I just might take advantage of it being quieter in France.

Kay, Kay, Colin B, Colin B, BA have flights LHR/GVA for those days inc 2 cabin bags and a 23Kg hold bag at less than £180 return. Why would you want the Easyjet ordeal?

I love flying BA and always check that first (Ba baggage allowance is great - Easy Jet have now started charging £18 as case.) Are you sure you are correct for flights 16th Feb - 23rd Feb 2013 when I looked tonight for my friends who are hoping to join us the cheapest BA flight from Heathrow to Geneva was £286 return and the flight times were not good.

Kay, I think that was for 9th - 16th!
I've also not yet forgiven BA for trying to bump my daughter and me off our flight at half term 2009  We only got our seats (that I'd paid for 11 months before) just before it left. Not flown with them since.

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

Sorry my mistake
OMG how terrible - I would not want to fly with them again if that happened to me - We don't touch Ryanair - for many reasons. I agree Luton or Stanstead better for us. Good Luck with finding a great place for your quiet half term ski holiday.

Kay, Decided on Alpe D'Huez, we haven't been there since 2008 and fancy revisiting. Just booked the flights for £260 (+ £50 in Nectar points) for the 2 of us inc bags and skis. Looking at paying about £400 for an apartment, there are plenty at about that price! With transfer that will be well under £400 each for a SC week at half term

You know it makes sense.

Fantastic - Have heard great reviews on the place- Good price for appartment- I presume you are doing this all DIY (like us) We are looking to go to Grand Massif - haven't done that yet - staying at Morillon 1100 as we fancy a ski in/out job and not hiring a car this time (it stood outside the apartment all last holiday)as resort near to Geneva. Hope all goes well with final bookings.

Kay, Yes DIY. I did look at resorts near Geneva but decided on relative familiarity.

In the end I've got a 23 sq m apartment with a separate bedroom for 380 euros from a Belgian guy who I rented from last time, plenty big enough for 2. Some British owners are charging the same as the main half term week.

Cambridgeshire and Northants have the earlier week off, so we've just booked a nice apartment in Arc 1950 £900 cheaper than the following week and I think the main french hols might be later as well. Just waiting for the tunnel prices to come up now so we can get our tesco vouchers for that. We've driven to Austria before but not France recently - are the auto-toll card things that you can buy in the Internet (Sanev is it?) worth getting ? I've seen comments about them on here before.

mikeh, we've never bothered getting one. As long as you have someone handy to pop a credit card in the slot from the passenger side, it's very quick and easy. You are also going to be missing the very busy bit that week

Colin B, we might be taking advantage of this 'quiet' half term week; looking at moving son to a new school where the half term is the week earlier
