Also its worth checking the price all the way through to booking for a few hotels (even if they seem more expensive).

We got a better deal on a hotel that on first prices appeared expensive, however, when we got all the way through the booking it worked out cheaper than some of the hotels that had a lower price estimate (as some hotels have room supplements charged per person per night, which even if its only £10 that adds £140 onto the holiday price!), so its worth pricing a few hotels all the way through to booking to see if they work out cheaper!

(I hope this post makes sense as its difficult to explain coherently!)

Hi Sami,

I have just booked up for the 3rd January in Niederau(!) with Crystal and paid about that for me and a friend, and that includes everything, flights, hotel (HB), transfers, ski school, ski hire, boot hire and lift pass.

If you book through a TO such as Thomsons/Crystal their Learn to Ski packages are great way to save money, (save you about £100) that includes your hire, lift pass and ski school. Also at the minute they are taking off £150 travel supplements when you fly to Innsbruck (Does anyone know why? Not that Im complaining!!!) so the deals are pretty good right now!

Good Luck finding somewhere and have fun!!!! :D

Yes I am avidly waiting for his next installments of the guy he met at the airport who was a J2 fanatic

I think we're all suffering from withdrawal from Pavels great stories and his advice! Thats probably why its been so quiet on here recently!

Not funny

You can actually buy the scent that they use to train sniffer dogs to find drugs from a well known biotech company.....we were very tempted to play a practical joke on our boss and cover his luggage in some..... :twisted:

Yay....I am all booked up for the 3rd Jan (got a great deal at the Austria). If anyone else is around then let me know!!!!!

Sorry I'm late Laydees, have been doing the ironing. As well as the hoovering, dishwasher, clothes washing, shopping, cooking, feeding, walking, and training the dogs, dusting, washing and dressing my OH, simply because....
She broke her lower fibula last Saturday, has a plaster cast, and is on crutches. We are just hoping there is no ligament damage.

What a star you are Davemac! My fingers are crossed that your OH heals well and quickly!!!
