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.

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

My cheapest ever ski holiday was through them. £129 for a week HB in Sauze, March 2007. It was advertised at £129 and we paid £140 each in the end, so I have no problem recommending them.

Good for you! Iam sure thousands of people had cheap holidays with them as with Ryanair.

I booked with them in 2009 for a holiday in 2010.

My experience was that they would not reply to e mails and when I tryed to call them I had to listen to a long message of several minutes before getting through, looking at my phone bill the cost was huge. They promissed to ring back, never did

Then they wanted to charge me £80 for a mistake which I consider their fault, I ended paying another £30.

They also charged £80 booking fee

If anyone wants to risk it, go for it!

With the greatest respect, it sounds like you had 1 bad experience with them, and I note they charged you for a mistake you CONSIDER to be their fault, but I would wager was actually yours but you dont want to admit it, which is why they charged it in the first place. Anyway, I made one phone call to them, and got my holiday booked, simples. Not to say other people dont have your problems, but I dont think its right to dismiss them as somewhere to look for holidays just because you got charged extra admin costs for something that would probably have been the same with any company you booked with.

Yes it was my fault, I did not know my gf name. At best it was a misunderstanding at that point. That night I e mailed them confirming every travelers name,

Maybe I did not hear the phone ring when they called

Maybe I lost their emails when they wrote back

Maybe I dialed the wrong number and that is why I had to a pointless message that went on for ever

Maybe my phone bill is wrong

Yes its all my fault great company you book with them

I compared them with Ryanair, actually Ryanair had the decency to ring back.

Learn your girlfriends name - it helps in lots of other situations other than booking holidays....

lol
