Apart from BA, who are pretty reasonable, are there any other carriers who offer return flights (over, say, four days) to the alps from Northern airports?

How far North are you? Easyjet run from Liverpool. Theres also BMIBaby (www.bmibaby.com) who have quite a few routes from the North (Newcastle, etc). Depends if you are after budget or class I guess.

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

Thanks TH, I didn't know easyjet did short return dates. They're the same price as BA, but have better timed flights for a ski trip (early outbound and late return).

Marc, Jet 2 fly to Geneva from Leeds/Bradford. Never had a look at their prices, so can't comment, but probably on a par with Sleazyjet/Ryanscare. Flights are Thurs/Sat/Sun

Ski Bunny, Cheers, Jet2 - more expensive & poor flight times, Ryanair - none from our areas to the slopes.
tree_hugger, BMIbaby didn't do the flights from round here.

Hi Marc
Duo go from Edinburgh & Birmingham to Geneva, Nice and Zurich, if that's any good to you? I think they're slightly more expensive than Ryanair but a bit cheaper than BA.

Marc,
BMI Baby do Manchester - Geneva daily, decent flight times both out and return and usually cheaper than Easyjet. We have done 2 trips recently both fine. Better outfit altogether I think!

sarah, cheers but when I put in the details for a short break, mid week next week, it said there weren't any available. So they're either full or don't do the days.

BMI service from Manchester to Geneva (also from Nottingham East Minlands to Geneva) is winter only and stops operating somewhere round 25 March - can't remember the exact dates, but that's why you won't get one for next week. We have also used them twice this year, ended up paying about £50 return each time.

marc gledhill,
I've actually posted a similar question on another thread to someone who said that they were going to Courmayeur for 4 days. I looked into this recently and found that whilst I could get outbound flights (from London area) to Geneva etc at quite a low cost, the problem was coming back. The return leg was at a ridiculous price and made the whole trip uneconomic.

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

Easyjet don't currently go from Newcastle to any ski destinations unfortunately-other than Barcelona for Andorra.

BMI Baby do Teesside- Geneva but its saturdays only and often full
|

You know it makes sense.

marc gledhill, masmith,
Shame about BMIBaby then...they are obviously finishing their 'ski' flights early, shame because they are good and well priced

Tony - For Courmayeur fly to Turin, did it in Febuary. It only took about 1hr 45 mins. Very easy drive - dual carriage way all the way.
