Hi Dobby. If you recall we did the 2 stop flights thing when we travelled this February. Worked a treat.

We flew from Humberside at 10.40am which arrived at Schipol at 12.40 local time. Flight to Trondheim was 2.25pm so about 1h 45 mins in-between. This was plenty of time for a quick bite to eat.

Coming back we had 1 hr 20 mins in-between flights. Again ok.

We have flown to Oslo previously via Schipol and only had about 50 mins to transfer. That was pretty tight and we pretty much walked straight to the gate and on to the bus to the plane.

I hear what Dave is saying about delays but presumably you are booking through KLM ( as we would). KLM are therefore responsible for all of the flights. In my opinion the two stop strategy is hugely preferable to a long drive to a London airport and then the very late arrival in the resort.

We've flown from Humberside 4 or 5 times now. Every flight has been bang on time and it's a breath of fresh air compared to the larger airports. We arrive about 1hr 15 mins before the outgoing flight. The parking is right outside the terminal. It's a max 20 minute drive from our house.

I'm guessing the set up at Cardiff must be similar?

In fact we're off to Amsterdam for a cheeky 5 day trip in June!

Dobby, any more info required let me know by PM or email.

Done.

Ok then! Is it complimentary? 8)

Sadly, we are still not quite ready to join you guys. I think we have two more seasons where we need to stick to school holidays. Hopefully we can then mix it up a bit....

For the first time in 5 years I think we'll have to cancel our usual Christmas/New Year trip. University costs are now draining the bank account at an alarming rate!

Seriously considering Are in Sweden again for Feb half term. Was really impressed with the resort this year.

Well done icy!

Whilst I applaud any notion that purports looking after our planet, why would a clothing manufacturer back a proposal that would mean they sell fewer clothes?

We use Flexrent when we are in Zermatt. They are near to the sunnegga funicular. Excellent kit and you can leave your gear there overnight.

I hear that Stoked on the main street also very good. We'ved used Stoked for lessons before.

Have a great time. Zermatt is a superb resort.

Icy, I think you must have been unlucky with Geneva airport.

We've been through the airport lots of times in the last 6 years or so without any trouble. Saying that, we tend to get the first flight out from the UK (i.e. 6am) and then fly back late afternoon/early evening.

Trondheim airport was epic over half term! Hardly anyone there. No queues at all and we got to watch an Antonov come in and land which was fun.
