Planning the first trip of the European season…
Snow has started to fall across Europe and I have been invited away by two groups of friends to go skiing over the new year.
Group 1: Heading for the Chamonix Valley, France.
Group 2: Heading for Morzine, France (just ‘around the corner’ from the Chamonix Valley).
My plan is to either fly or take the train to Geneva, hire a car, and then meet up with ‘group 1′ for 3 days of skiing, before meeting up with ‘group 2′. And so the planning begins….
First, flights. I will be hitting the usual websites (Expedia, hlx, LastMinute
, Thomson
, KLM, and Opodo). The alternative to flying is to take the Eurostar from London, or possible drive and use the ferries (POFerries, and Cheap4Ferries).
If I don’t drive then I will need car-hire, again I will try the usual suspects – EasyCar, ebooker, Expedia
, Holiday Autos, LastMinute.com
, Sixt
, Thrifty, Travelocity
, British Airways Car Hire in Europe
, and Opodo.
The tricky one is hotels. I don’t know if I want to stay in Chamonix or Morzine. I guess it depends on what I can find online at ebooker, Expedia, Hotel Connect
, hotels.com
, Thomson Hotels
, and LastMinute
.
