 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys.
Unfortunately I split up with my girlfriend recently. We had a week booked in Ischgl for December 9 and I would still like to go if possible, plus I face a charge if I don't. I am just seeing if anyone is interested in maybe going with me if that's not too weird? It's a double room, think 2 beds (hopefully).. is this the sort of thing that this forum was meant for? would be interested to gauge interest...
Flight to Innsbruck is currently cheap, about £66 return! (before bags) that's if you get the early flight back from Innsbruck on the 16th. I'll be going back on the later flight.
It's 350 euros for the room. It includes breakfast. The hotel looks nice, here it is:

I got a really good deal on the room for booking 10 months in advance. I think the room would be about 500 euros each by now.
Plus ski pass is low season so 191 euros for 6 days or 161 for 5 days.
Let's add it up
Room: 280
Ski pass: 152
Flight: 85
Transfer: ???
Hire: 80?
Food/drink: (gonna have to budget hard) 150
Overall: £780-900 or so.
With the favourable currency conversion, early booking rate and good flight price this seems a good deal.
As for me, I am 28 years old, sociable but considerate, experienced skier having done two full seasons and 10 other ski holidays. I am up for going out and meeting other people but not every night or anything. Preferably someone 23-40 ish would be ideal. Overall I am very chilled and easy to get along with and obviously love skiing.
If you are interested please post.
Many thanks
ben

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

skiben, why are you asking £280 for the room when you only paid €350 for it?

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

Sorry I haven't done this before and I went on a currency exchange website and 350 euros makes 280 pounds?
Is it customary to deduct a certain % for things like this? Sorry for my ignorance.

skiben, The exchange rate is fine, it's just you said the room was €350. If that's the price per room then surely you will split the cost, or is that the price per room, per person?
OK, I've looked it up, the price is €51 per person per night. Just your wording made me wonder. You can get "Wochenpauschale 7 ÜN/6 Tagesskipass" for €475 (£390) each. I assume you didn't get that offer when you booked.....
Looking at the pictures, the beds will be an Austrian twin - 2 single mattresses in 1 bed frame, each with it's own bedding; you can top and tail if you end up with a random bloke

skiben, I don't think you will get many offers unless you offer some incentive.
Just think it through, why would someone want to pay full price?

Yeah essentially that is a really expensive holiday so early. Unless you get someone who was looking for a ski buddy that specific week I can't see the attraction.
You only stand to loose £350 by going on your own don't you, and I suppose the loss of a ski buddy.
I'd be offering a pretty major discount on the half of the bed you're offering in the hope of getting someone to come and ski with me.
