Hi Trevor

As I said previously you will just have to visit the Easyjet website on a regular basis as bookings only go as far as March 2 2014. I'm sure you will get the flight times you want if you do this. Good luck.

For Easyjet flights to European destinations they usually publicise these around 9 months before departure dates, so you have to just keep watching their website as far as I know. You don't say where you are flying from (?Gatwick, Leeds, Glasgow etc.) but if you can go on B. Airwaysthen Geneva then these are available 11 months ahead so possibly these are already on sale. I have already booked February Gatwick Geneva flights for late January 2014 at under £100 return.

Had to change a name on an Easyjet ticket (put in Becky instead of Rebecca!) about 3 years ago. As far as I can remember it cost £30 three years ago. Good Luck with it!

Hi Tom. I think, for what it is worth, that Insbrucker has summed up the resort expertly. Not much to add to his reply, but if the snow is sparse, as it is a fairly low resort, then consider a trip to Innsbruck by train or go to the Stubai and Zugspitze glaciers for guaranteed snow. Lovely town with 'yob free' atmosphere.

We are considering taking the Eurostar ski train next season from St. Pancras to Bourg St. Maurice, using the Saturday daytime service. Has anyone used this service and could you tell us what the likely return cost per person would be and also when, or how far in advance, can we book. Thanks in anticipation.

Huwcyn-Flight dates for Easyjet, et al, usually 9 months in advance, but unfortunately you have to check on a regular basis as sometimes they vary their dates. Is there an APP that would text us when airline advance dates open up? Anyone in the know?

If you have a favourite resort/hotel/apartment/chalet book it now as you can be sure that with six of you it will be second or third choice if you leave it that late. Also, if you are booking your own flights you can already get dood deals with BA, and with the other airlines all coming on line for 2014 bookings within the next three months.

Regarding paying the people to get you off the mountain in case of injury with the Carre Neige you will be attended to immediately without having to provide proof of insurance as the insurance information is on your lift pass. Also, if you don't have the carre neige insurance you will have to pay for all the helicopter, ambulance etc. up front and then attempt to claim it all back when you get home. Buy the carre neige.
