easyJet reveal increase in passengers for ski weekends

“Early last year as the credit crunch began we noticed that ski weekends became popular, even though the snowfall wasn’t as good. This year we’ve really seen a jump in weekend flights with people wanting to hit the slopes quickly and cheaply.

“Airports like Innsbruck, Grenoble and Geneva are proving particularly popular for ski-weekends. They have a short flight time from most UK airports, and some of Europe’s best ski resorts within an hour’s drive, so people don’t have to waste time on airport transfers.

“You can set off from the UK and be on the piste in one of Europe’s top ski resorts like Chamonix and Flaine in under four hours, making them perfect for those who want to get a quick ‘ski-fix’ for a weekend.”
easyJet's UK general manager, Paul Simmons said
