Unfortunately they have us over a barrel I made 1 booking for 10 pax 2 dropped out to be replaced by another 2 if re book elsewhere then the transfers are affected and further costs incurred, addmittedly it is in the T&C's but do you read every word ! I accept increase in flight cost its when easyjet say two separate flights, they did not ask for two different names when I booked, unfortunately there are no alternatives

Trip in February booked sometime ago catered chalet independent travel booked easyjet father and son have had to drop out found replacements, name change with easyjet, told the replacements £35.00 each then went to pay and noticed + any increase in flight price since original booking, OK accept that as well, then go to pay and find you have to pay £35.00 name change outbound £35.00 namechange return + flight increase initial booking was £90.00 inc luggage they now want an additional £94.00 per passenger to change the name, has anyine else come across this ripoff

You must also take into consideration the card will cost you 30 euros initially however you get 20% off day rate for Saturday skiing and 10% of day rate all others and the 9th day free so you can work out roughly wether it is a good option I think you may be better off with the full 3v pass I know I looked into this carefully as I am doing 3 weeks in the 3v and I will benefit because of 3 free days and also 2 saturdays

Snow chains are cheapest at hypermarkets in France if thats where your heading think paid around £20, have worked wonders the one and only time I needed them last December in the UK
They were from Carrefour in Cluses same at Champion in Moutiers friend bought his there

The train many years ago don,t know why but seemed good idea at time flew to Milan to go to Courmayeur, got the train from Milan to Prix St Didier via Aosta this takes you all up the Aosta Valley, we took first class tickets which were approx £20 each return, that was why we had the first class

www.morzineshuttle.com just spotted this website at bottom of page will take you to Taninge from Geneva you could almost walk from Taninge to Les Carroz its another option
Good luck

http://www.igoski.co.uk/ weekend ski breaks another one which we have done independant flights to Geneva taxi through to Courmayeur Italy plenty of hotels very reasonable will do short breaks

An alternative is to get the train from Geneva to Cluses and then taxi upto to Les Carroz, friends did this and was very simple however I was collecting them from Cluses, There are always taxis at the station www.cluses-taxi.fr/
