SKI THE WORLD with British Airways Holidays

WHEREVER you decide to spend your holiday on the slopes, no one offers a flight network that delivers you closer to the mountain than British Airways. Whether you’re planning to perfect your parallel turns on Alpine pistes, sample Scandinavia’s snowboarding scene or head further afield to enjoy snow sports in North America, you’ll be delivered to a conveniently located airport so you can transfer quickly and seamlessly to your chosen resort.

New routes from Heathrow to Grenoble and Turin launch at the beginning of December, adding to those departing from Gatwick, while additional weekly services will be scheduled on existing routes to Innsbruck, Salzburg, Sofia and Zurich, too.

The network continues to grow, connecting more skiers to more resorts: this year, British Airways launched direct flights from Gatwick to Oakland, one of the closest international airports to Lake Tahoe, and have also retimed flights to Calgary to help travellers make publictransport connections to the biggest ski resorts, such as Banff. Unlike many airlines, British Airways allows you to carry your skis (up to 190cm) free as part of your checked baggage allowance.

Of course, British Airways Holidays has an unrivalled range of ski accommodation options to suit all tastes, lifestyles and budgets, whether you want a weekend on the slopes or a longer holiday. From ski-in, ski-out properties for serious skiers and fully catered chalets that make the perfect base for families or small groups to friendly inns and large hotels with a plethora of amenities such as spas, swimming pools, gyms and more, there’s a wealth of wonderful places to stay when you book your ski break with British Airways Holidays. britishairways.com
