Mid-week ski transfers at a 50% discount
Jan 27th, 2010 by admin
Mid week ski breaks are fast replacing the classic city breaks and rightly so. Fly out Sunday, come back Wednesday or fly out Thursday and come back Sunday. Either way you get 3 1/2 days skiing, avoid the crowds and even get most of the weekend at home to recover. No wonder there are more and more ski travel companies offering 3 or 4 night mid-week breaks, taking advantage of low flight costs and spare mid week capacities.
Despite the current tough economic climate, people still want to go skiing but looking for a way to cut costs. Shorter mid-week trips provides the answer for cash strapped skiers with some flexibility.
It is no surprise that the concept hit a note with the independent ski traveller too. Mid-week flights tend to be a fraction of the price compared with the same week-end option. More and more private apartment owners are willing to let for less than a week.
The entire private ski accommodation lettings market seems to slowly move away from the traditional Saturday to Saturday change-over at least for low and mid season weeks. The best months for mid-week ski trips are early season up to mid December, January up to mid February and mid April until the end of the season.
Now airport transfer operators following this trend and offering mid-week discounts to transfer ski holidaymakers from arrival airport to their chosen ski resort. It all makes sense, why have empty vans standing on your driveway when you can pick-up mid-week ski trip bargain hunters from the airport. The airlines do it, why not apply the same logic to the airport transfer market.
Alps2Alps for examples are currently offering up to 50% discounted transfer prices on selective transfer routes for mid-week transfers (Monday to Thursday).
Alps2Alps Transfers offer low cost door-to-door airport transfers for individuals, groups or families with children. Over the past years the company built up a track record of reliability and punctuality. English-speaking drivers will meet passengers at the arrival airport and waiting transfer vehicles will take them directly to their chosen ski resort. Alps2Alps covers all alpine destinations in France, Italy and Switzerland.
Passengers typically have a choice of private or shared transfer services depending on their preference and budget. Now passengers can even travel at a 50% discount!
