niederau to hopfgarten/westendorf

There is no regular bus service from Niederau to Hopfgarten. It is only a 12 minute drive, so a taxi is an option. One of the travel companies organises an ad hoc minibus.

For a beginner the slopes at Niederau are suitable, and the red ski school is highly rated in Tirol.
Ryanair slashes European ski fares

Ian, even though you did not strictly comply with their Ts&Cs, it does look like a rough deal. Did you do anything about it after you returned? Often a head office will override an outlying decision.
Of course you could always refuse, but they do have the guns to help you come to the right decision.

Bandit! :evil:

When I sold the old Range Rover, it was complete with vignette. I am convinced the buyer paid a premium for this.

Excellent! Some good jump turns, but I could see why you needed to do them, it was a bit crusty in places. Good mountaineering, well done.

We agree on EJ, but I am not emotive about Ryanair. I agree that they seem to identify multiple charging opportunities, but, none of these are hidden, we can all read.

Ryanair and Easyjet aim at different markets.
Brooksy, that is a high resort risk!

C'mon folks, Wickers has made his stand, and we have to respect that.
Having said that, if I was O'Leary, I would reimburse his £50, (totally unjustified, (Ian didn't read the Ts&Cs), I would then make big publicity out of it. That is not going to happen.

The flight rates c/w easyjet, but easyjet charge much less for ski carriage, and if you work your hand baggage right, you get much more with EJ.
I have no axe to grind with Ryanair, I use them in the summer.
