But heres the thing, i want to go the first week in Jan. This is be because 1st-7th will be good for me work wise, great for my daughter as less time off school.
However it appears that there maybe no sat-sat package deals. All the brouchers and sites seem to be offering 5 day packages that week running from the monday???
WTF? don't they fly on new years day?? Gutted.


We had the same last time NY fell on a Saturday. Transfer dates were all on the Monday. Seems like the norm.

can you not do-it-yourself, rather than a package deal...............or are there no flights out at all on New Years Day?

Nope! Doesn't look like it.

Crystals brochure shows that France is normally a Saturday departure but prior to xmas they run monday to monday.
Then they switch back to Sat/Sat from the 8th Jan. This means that the first week in Jan is cut to 5 crappy days!!!

No France for me then. Looks like Andorra (sunday dept) for my Jan trip. May look at france for easter.

Skied: Arinsal, La Plagne, Alpe D'huez, Flaine, Les Arcs, Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Sauze, Courchevel, Val Thorens

Maybe, but as this is only going to be our second trip i like the idea of having all my eggs in one basket and being looked after until i know what i am doing!

It's seriously way easier than you would imagine. It's really all at the end of your fingers on the computer to put together.

You're not serious - first (and IMO best) week in Jan has been cut to 5 days in the brochures? Thats an absolute outrage!!!! How very dare they.

Is this just France, as it stinks of typical French "we are not working on XXXX days..." attitude?
