Purely for the package people!

Gone Drinking

I know alot of people here book things seperately and make their own way etc but this thread is just for those of us who've booked a package deal!

There's 18 of us going, we're flying to Soll for a week (20th of feb to 27th) and its costing us €1,011 each. That includes flights, half board hotel (breakfast and dinner), ski pass, ski and boot hire.

Thought it might be interesting to compare and see what sort of deals others have gotten through travel agenticies/websites

I'm not sure, id assume it is because thats the balance we have to pay. We paid alot more last year because we booked some lessons and went to St Anton, which is just a more expensive ski resort i think. Seriously good time though.

I was just about to ask @Gone Drinking how you got your deal above so cheap until you mentioned no lessons.

I'm off (4 of us) to Soll on Feb 20th too. Booked through direct ski. B&B only in a two star and when we add in lessons, rental and ski pass it will be 950E each.

I did look at doing it DIY but flights to salzburg and munich seem to be more expensive than other places so I was only saving about 50 quid in the end. Booking through a TO offers the ability to pay off it in installments too which is handy.

other than direct ski and topflight, are there any other companies worth checking out for realistic fees

We booked through direct-ski aswell. We had five days of lessons last year and the rest of the people going have been skiing for years. So we didn't go with the lessons this year.
