 Poster: A snowHead
|
We have a chalet sleeping 14 booked in Essert Romand just outside Morzine from 17-24 Feb 2013. There are currently three families (sort of) - me plus 2 daughters (10/12) and one of the 12 yo's mates (mum doesn't ski). Then there's a couple with a son of 11 and a daughter of 9, then another chap with his two sons (12 and 15). I'm the "common factor" ie the other two families don't know each other, so you wouldn't be joining a close-knit group. Pretty easy going bunch.
We've had a group of three drop out, so we have a triple room available (i think one's might be a camp bed). The cost would be £430 a head for chalet board and in-resort transport - which for half term is pretty darn good. If there was a two then that would probably work, but the cost would be £500 a head, so we'd ideally like to get a three.
My three girls will be having afternoon lessons up in Avoriaz so if there's anyone who wants to ski childless for the afternoons that'd be even better.
Anyone?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

It also looks like we can arrange to change the names on two pre-booked flights for just the £70 admin fee - meaning Leeds-Geneva flights on half-term Sunday for about £200 each including bags - which would be a chalet holiday at Feb half term including travel for under £700 a head for two people.

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

Hi Andy
I am trying to arrange a half term ski holiday for myself (4 and my two 17 year old sons.
We are all house trained, and my sons very well mannered, and mix well.
They have to be as there are six of us + dog at home.
We have all skied the last 5 years and would love to have company / people to ski with.
Our friends we went with last year cannot go this season.
My main challenge is getting sensible flights ..... seem to be £450+ each from London.
Would you consider us ?

Hilly, Tried Skyscanner.net, would have thought you should be able to find a flight for all three of you for £450 not each!

anarchicsaltire, it's the Sunday of half term, so Skyscanner's saying about £250 if you're flexible about airport and time.
We booked super early and got ours for £125 including bags.

Hi Andy
Thanks for the email updates.
I appreciate we are not your first choice, given my sons are young adults, not children and you are holding for others who fit what you want.
Sensible Flights - both cost and time are really hard to find for Half Term .... as I did not book early..... damn you recession
I have had to fit in with what is left and could not get Geneva except late evening.
I have now booked flights to Grenoble with Monarch, and accommodation in Alpe D'Huez.
Hope your holiday is great
Richard

I think it's Chalet CentralVille Arizona (ie there's not a lot else there) - we're staying with OffPiste Madness (or "Dougie" to give him his proper name).

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

Ok - the deal is now a room for 2, £450 each for the room. The flights, assuming we can transfer them as we could have earlier this week, will be c£190 a head.
So that's £640 a head for flight, transfer and chalet at half term.
If you want the room but not the flights it's £475 a head if there's 2 or of you, £430 if there's 3.
