It’s October already which means it’s time to have a serious think about your ski holiday, especially if you want to pay less. Snowjet still have flights to our flagship airport, Chambéry, available at £29 oneway and flights to our new destination airport, Sion, at £49 oneway across a variety of dates. And we still have availability on peak dates on all routes, however, these are selling fast so it’s advisable to Book Now to avoid disappointment. While Chambéry needs no introduction, Sion airport is probably less familiar. Sion is located in the Swiss Valais region and is the local airport for Zermatt, Verbier, Saas Fee, Crans Montana and Villars. Flying to Sion offers huge savings on transfer to these resorts and others in the region and since Snowjet will be operating the only commercial service to Sion you won’t have a long wait at check–in or baggage reclaim so you can be on your way even faster. If you’d like to find out more about Snowjet flights you can meet the team at the Metro Ski and Snowboard Show at London Olympia from 21st to 25th October. We’ll be giving away a pair of return Snowjet flights everyday of the show so it’s well worth dropping by our stand. You’ll find us near the Three Valleys Resort Bar, stand number 607. See you there. The Snowjet team. |
