Like most years hoped to go skiing twice this year, the second time towards the end of the season, so been January hoped to go end of March beginning of April. But March seems to be more expensive then February this year

Now that the cheap airlines are not exactly cheap any more even Poland is pricey

Going to wait, see if I can get one last minute

Feeling I be going on a Spring brake to the med this year. Can't recall what a beach looks like.

Wait until March... 8)

Given that there is still availability for half-term, you can be pretty confident that March will be heavily discounted as soon as half-term is over.

Just what I was going to say. You will find as half term comes and goes that discounts for early March will start to appear, as tour ops realise they focused so much on the schoool holidays that no one else is going the next couple of weeks!
Thats why I always go first week in March....

When are the half term periods? I am looking for a deal for 6 adults at the moment and would not want to clash with half term - i would be shot!

Any good companies you can recommend for deals in early march?

Wipe out next week and the one following too, depends on area as to when they are off.

As for where to look, try the usual tour ops, including skiworld, look at www.catered-ski-chalets.co.uk, and some of the brokers like bookable ski, direct ski, skideals, snowdeals and Teletext holidays.

French school holidays cover most of February, some running up until 7th March.

My parents were looking at last minute deals next week for half term, and found NOTHING. Plenty of accomodation, but no flights available, so only suitable for those willing to drive.

Avoid bookable holidays, they are like Ryanair come over cheap but when you try and book you'll find a booking fee added.

They screwed up when taking names over the phone despite me confirming the names via email they wanted to charge £80 for changing a initial
