Wish I hadn't bothered looking at the 2015 brochures.......half term higher than this year. Job change imminent

yep ..2015 half term is the same dates for the whole of the UK unlike this year. I think most of France and Holland are also the same week so the TO's really do have you over a barrel!!
Carving leaves me all on edge

European holidays tend to be spread throughout February. So there is not quite the same pressure on accommodation. The issue is flights.

Having established that you can wrest some flexibility on days:
Bournemouth ~ Geneva, Fri 14th Feb, £93.74
GVA ~ Bournemouth, Mon 24th Feb, £83.74
Total, £177.48 plus baggage.

Not to mention, that you will get 9 or 10 days skiing, instead of 6 days. All for a lower start cost.
£354.96, instead of £800.

And, if you have the Head on the run, and can leave on the Thursday:
Bournemouth ~ Geneva, Thur 13th Feb, £42.74
GVA ~ Bournemouth, Mon 24th Feb, £83.74
Total, £126.48 plus baggage
£252.96, instead of £800.

Easter is quite early April 2015.
You'd get Good Friday to travel down (if you drive that is).
Go somewhere high.
Prices don't tend to be anywhere near as high as half term in Feb, days longer, queues shorter and a week off after to recover and enjoy Spring!

I have an inset day before we break for Easter so will definitely take that opportunity to chase some snow :mrgreen:

Check regular airlines. Might be cheaper. Also Monday return instead of Saturday/Sunday. Can make a difference.
