hehe, love it! "money doesn't really come into the equation for us" and "rather than slum it with the paupers" anyone that will quite happily pay 8-9 euros a pint in france compared to 3-4 euros in austria because it must be better because it costs more is exactly the type of person who in my opinion deserves to get ripped off skiing in france...either you've got more money than sense or a rather high opinion of yourself! Get a grip and go to Austria, in my opinion a skiing holiday is better because of all the factors together, better apres, food is just as good as france, you're not ripped off on the mountain, the people are so friendly and the rich arrogant t0$$"*s stay in france...on 2nd thoughts...stay in france :)

Easyjet check in at Geneva fleeced us on the way back this easter(£280 excess baggage), double wheeled ski bag with 2 pairs of skis and clothes to protect them, Easyjet policy is 12kg for ski carriage, my experience of Ryanair check in at Geneva was somewhat different. We were only flying easyjet as the oh did her acl and thats who the ins co put us with, needless to say the ins paid out but not the point :!: :!: :!:

the OH flew with Virgin today and they weighed her hand luggage at check-in and advised her that it would be weighted again at boarding. Weight limit is 6kg (my understanding is that 6kg has always been the weight limit for hand luggage although never previoulsy checked)
When questioned it transpires that Virgin have now cottoned onto the fact that people were stocking up in duty free and consequently being overweight..... If Virgin are doing this i would bet on BA following suit soon after if they haven't already....

funny, had the same conversation with the OH this weekend... :lol:

Allly, dead serious... 8) 8) 8)

only the 1 thing on my shopping list for next season...a ski chalet, just starting to research the ins and outs of buying abroad etc etc, but initial thoughts would be the 3 valleys area :wink: :wink: :wink:

the thing that amazes me most is that the guy is wearing shorts, what a nutter :-o
