I flew Jet2 to Chambery from Edinburgh on Sunday just there and the flight was good (delayed an hour) but all the luggage popped through the hole in the wall ok in the end.
Make sure you don't have a long wait for your transfer as there is nothing in Chambery (airport).
Short ski break on a budget?

Bearing in mind a lift pass is around £150 typically, thats £250pp for flights, accom and car hire. Thats a deal IMO.
It seemed pretty good to me too, and the ski area looks excellent for intermediates. Don't know if I can resist... )

After a lot of searching it seems that going for a week (holidays weren’t a problem, just thought a short break would be cheaper) is probably going to be easier and less expensive - what a shame.... )
The best I can come up with at the moment is flights from Leeds/Bradford to Chambery (a bit further than Newcastle but better flight times) with Jet2, SC accommodation (which sleeps 4) in Valmenier, car hire and 6 day lift passes for £800 for two of us the last week in March.
Does this sound reasonable or has anyone seen any other deals at a similar price that may give us other options?
Thanks

Thanks Ross :D
Sounds like you're having an amazing time.
I didn't have much luck in finding prices for transfers by bus or train - any suggestions?
Otherwise, I can hire a car for about £190 for the week which means no waiting around and the option to go via a supermarket to stock up on food, and more importantly, wine (and beer for OH) before getting to the resort.

Yep, intermediates paradise, with some decent off piste if it snows too. 150km to go at, should make a nice week.
