yllas independently - any advice?

Am looking to save money by flying finnair to kittila - £216 each and booking cabin privately - £900 for 9 nights + car hire £400 for a half term holiday in Feb. Inghams so far equivalent is £2700 for 3 people for 7 nights.

This way we get a longer stay+cheaper hols+flexibility with car - but can we find a cheap snowboard package and ski/snowboard school that is reasonable? Any comments - have prov booking on cabin

Revontuli in Yllas.

Thanks

that%26#39;s a good flight price!

what are you looking for from your snowboard package?

you could ask the inghams reps when you get there if you can book with them - nothing ventured nothing gained and all that - they get commission from everything they sell so I can not see why they would not take your money - if you are going there before the sunday changeover then you will have the chance to get to the reps before the rest of their guests do - they will want cash though -that%26#39;s the only condition they would let me book with them (as I had not traveled out with them)

have you checked out that the flights are all on the same day as it would appear that some of the cheaper options are flying out of Helsinki the next day

yes flights are on same day - flight change in Helsinki, good idea about trying reps, will do so if can%26#39;t book anything cheap elsewhere.

Snowboard package is for 15 year old who wants to try out snowboarding after past 2 years skiing.

Thanks

Practically the only option you%26#39;ll have is to book the ski school directly with the school (other than the option Poe suggested, however their groups may well be fully booked - and they%26#39;ll give priority to their own customers:

skihead - who did you book your flights with for that price?

Booked via ebookers, flights 216 each - Fri out Sun back, from Heathrow - Kittila with Finnair. Actually saw on mobissimo flights at £205 after I%26#39;d booked!

Just hope the cabin booking with Owners direct works out so well, had phone call with owner which seemed positive, cabin Revontuli near Santa%26#39;s house - has anyone used it or the next door one Otsonpesa?

Thanks

just checked out the prices to Ivelo and they are still lots at the mo - that kittila flight price is excellent for half term

I am sure your cabin booking will be fine
