I'm not suggesting that you do this of course, but once they have weighed your hand luggage, there is nothing to stop you adding items to it. So if you check in one at a time, one person could check in with their 5 Kg hand luggage while the other person waits with heavier items, and then you just reverse the roles!

Simples!

Hi,
We are off to Wengen on 17th March - which is when the England v Ireland match is on. Unlike the French, I don't think the Swiss are that keen on rugby. Does anyone know of a bar which might be showing the match?

Hi,
Can anyone suggest suitable replacements for a pair of 5 year old (2005) Salomon Scrambler 8 Pilots. The skis have been great but I feel they probably need replcement now.

Or do they? What will be the benefit of getting a new pair?

And if I do decide to replace them, what should I be looking for? Most of my skiing is on-piste (I have been nervous about off-piste since breaking my leg about 8 years ago and as a result am rubbish at it). More details, I am approx 5'10" tall and weigh just over 13 stone (say 84Kg). And I'm getting on a bit now (lets say close to 60) so obviously not as aggressive as I once was. Having said that I'm still fit and have been skiing every year for the past 40 years or so - although with no noticeable improvement over the past 20. I still ski the blacks, but am old and wise enough to decide that if a run looks precipitous, that I won't enjoy it. And that's what I'm there for.

So what advice can you give?

Can anyone help? My daughter is on a university ski trip to Tignes which ends on 20th December and then is joining us in Courchevel for Christmas.

I know there is a bus from Moutiers to Courchevel, is there a bus from Tignes to Moutiers? I have been on the Altibus web site, but it isn''t clear from there whether there is a bus or not. When it comes to it I don't want to waste a day driving from Courchevel to Tignes and back when I could be skiing.

Alternatively can anyone offer her a lift (she is only small although she does have her own skis).

Thanks

Paul
