Poster: A snowHead

Hi.
I'm probably being dim, but I can't find any flights for 2013 from Newcastle or Manchester to Innsbruck? Am I looking too early and the flights haven't been released yet?
Thanks in advance,
Roy.

Easyjet fly to Innsbruck from Liverpool, then get yourself an apartment/hotel independently.
You can book those flights on line now.

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

Too early dude. Will be released summer time. TUI always have flights from Newcastle to Innsbruck (not cheap though)

Thanks for the replies.
Hadn't considered Liverpool - bit of a trek from Sunderland though, but I fly our family of 4 for just over £600 including bags. Will the price of the TUI flights from Newcastle or Manchester be in the same ballpark?
Cheers,
Roy.

crudeFool, the TUI flight from Edinburgh to Innsbruck is normally around £270-285 and similar price from Newcastle from memory. Think Thomas Cook fly to Innsbruck from Manchester as do Lufthansa (possibly ?)

You'll need to Register first of course.

crudeFool, Fly Lufthansa from Manchester to Munich (FOC ski carriage and luggage), its cheaper and much more time options, then catch DBB train to Innsbruck, its a great service and cheap trains too if booked well in advance direct with the DBB webiste (not on sale yet but believe me they are cheap). I dont bother with TUI/ Monarch/ Jet2/ EJ/ Ryanair who are OTT with ski carriage costs, scheduled Luthansa/ Swiss are cheaper and better service IMO.

I was looking for flights from LGW to Innsbruck for New Year, nothing was showing on the internet, but when I phoned Thomson, there were flights to book.

Out of Manchester, Thomson (TUI) have in previous winters put two charter flights on Saturdays, am and pm. Thos Cook usually have a very early Saturday am to Innsbruck. Austrian Airlines (Austrian Arrows) have put on Saturday am charters to Innsbruck, for Inghams I think, but not every winter. If you have the nerve, usually cheapest fares (£80-125) to be had 7/14 days before departure. One year I booked a charter to Innsbruck (Jan departure) in Sept for £79!
Beware, low baggage allowances and ski charges on charters.
As Markymark29, says Lufthansa from Manchester to Munich is comfortable and affordable, I paid £100 return last Jan, including skis/boots and inflight snack and drink. Swissair also have reasonable fares to Manchester from Zurich, convenient for western Austria.
The budget airlines, Easyjet and Jet2 have Alpine flights.
Checkout Kayak and Skyscanner websites, if you don't already.
