There certainly seem to be some very good deals about at the moment.

Annoyingly, I've probably lost out on the holiday I priced to Valmenier, as my husband's, boss' wife is due to give birth any time from now and until she does, my OH can not get the holidays signed off (even though we were planning to go at the end of March! :evil:

Still, hopefully we'll be able to get something last minute.

Given the current state of things, any company that manages to stay in business needs all the support they can get. Yes, it would be better if everyone offered flights from all over the country, but c'est la vie...

Skiworld holidays that include flights are all from Gatwick. Thats probably because Gatwick is the largest charter airport in the UK, and where most tour ops flights operate from before they spread out to other airports. I'd prefer Stansted or east Mids personally, but if they only do gatwick, I can travel there. I often fly from Manchester as well as its the same distance as Gatwick from me.

As for driving, I'd love to be able to get in the car, but its far more expensive. take into account that those prices on Skiworlds site are for a weeks catered accommodation, flights and transfers. Why would anyone in their right mind suggest driving instead?????

We are planning on going on 28th Feb for a week with a late deal and have been monitoring on a regular basis.

Some websites have amazing deals, I found one last night h/b, flights and transfers to Val d'iesre for £299. Leaving tomorrow if you fancy it!

Crystal also seemt to have a lot of last minute bargains.

I love a bargain me :D
