Late bookings - anyone in the know?

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:03:51 GMT

I heard a rumour the other day when chatting to a member of staff at Snow and Rock that the tour operators were getting a bit desperate and are planning on slashing their prices dramatically after half term.

Can anyone shed any light?

I would not be at all surprised. Keep close to the tour op and other discount websites.

What is the standard of Crystal catered chalets? I'll be looking for something in March but want to fly local (Newcastle) as I'm sick of travelling, so might have to go with someone like that. Anyone had any experiences?

Listen very carefully, I will say zis only once...

Anyone able to get away next week should check in at Crystal's site first thing tomorrow morning.

One week, catered, incl. flights and transfers, to Alpe d'Huez, La Rosiere, Les Deux Alpes, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Tignes, Morzine and a couple of other resorts...

GBP149.

Given that just about everywhere has shed-loads of snow... :shock:

Admin said it was something to be looked at in the future but there was [understandably] a whole load of other things which took priority!

Smaller pages load quicker - and you can always click the page number to go straight to the last page (or any other page) of the thread.

Will have a look at making the "posts per page" an option but you may go blue if you hold your breath. :mrgreen:

There will be a minor update to the forum along shortly but can't promise we'll have the option in place by then.

I can't possibly look at any more holidays now I've booked mine - still a bargain at GBP270, half board, flights, transfers etc. to Claviere.

Tres exciting!

Yes but, no but, don't quote me on that... oh, you did...

Not got round to making it optional yet...

We did look at increasing the default (number of posts per page) but there are an increasing number of you now browsing the site on iPhones and suchlike - around 15,000 visits in the last month alone... :shock: ...so we're going to be keeping the pages small and will be tweaking the page layouts to make mobile browsing of the forum easier...

Anyway... GBP149 ! Who's going to be up at dawn?
