Airlines for the Alps
Budget airlines operate from most UK airports, with easyJet having the biggest range of flights to Geneva. Other operators include Ryanair, Flybe, Bmibaby, Thomsonfly and Jet2. When choosing your flight, do check the small print on airline extras because many airlines will charge additional fees for carrying your skis and bags.
British Airways and some foreign national airlines such as Air France, Alitalia, Austrian and Lufthansa can also be competitive on certain routes.
There are also several companies offering charter services during the winter season to desintations including Lyon, Grenoble, Chambery or Geneva. Scheduled flights are generally cheaper at peak times but charter flights can be more competitive at other times.
We offer a free Flight Finder service to help you find the best flight option.
