Hi, all

If you dont get free tickets , you can use Tesco club card points to get a ticket.
£4 in club card points get you an adult ticket.

Sorry I cant make it

I wont fly with them either.

My one and only flight with them a few years ago was delayed 12hours. They didnt pay any compensation / food vouchers as they said the flight was cancelled not delayed and was putting on an extra flight 12 hours later to help their customers out.

Lucky it was a business trip and not a holiday so at least my company paid for food and drink while I waited the 12 long hours.

Hi, NellyPS

As Frostbite said, I gooogle the full accommodation name and resort. It will come up somewhere, either the owners own website or a holiday rental site like holiday-rentals.co.uk. From these websites you can then contact the owner direct.

I usually fly Easyjet though so if you are driving maybe Peak Retreats will be cheaper for you.

Even if you book through Peak Retreats it is worth Gooogling the accommodation, just to check that its right for you as you should get more information about it than from Peak retreat site.

Hi, NellyPS

I havent actually booked with Peak Retreats before but have used them as starting point for finding a DIY holiday in Feb half Term.
Three times I have used their accommodation but booked direct with the owner (Chalet) or company (appartment). Booking direct with the owner rather than through Peak Retreats has always saved me money but this might be because its half term week though.

I have never found any faults with the accommodation

Booked to go to La plagne Montalbert Feb half term

Hi Serendipity

We go Feb half Term week because we have kids.
We have booked DIY for the last 5 years as it works out cheaper then the TO's.
If you go to the smaller villages which are linked to the major well known resorts it works out alot cheaper and less busy.
We avoid ski school start times and finish times and never had to wait for a lift.

I dont usually send the booking form and money till December when the new season prices appear.
I would try booking on line (if this is available for your resort)November/ December time.
I have checked the ESF website for the resort I am going to for half term next year and it says that booking on line is not available yet so I think its just too early.

Hi, Craiggggg5

I usually send the booking form with the deposit in cash (Euros). I make a note on the form that I have enclosed the cash.
I have done this twice and never had any problems but with other resorts.

Skisuit.
