It may seem like I’m a skiing fanatic. In fact I have never skied in my life! However, I have come across a chartered airline selling their excess seat capacity cheaper than their competitors. This may be of interest to all you avid skiers.
The website is http://www.jfl2go.com/ They offer surplus seats on their charter flights to the general public. These are at a considerable discount to the scheduled carriers. They advertise:
- No Charges for ski carriage
- No Hidden Taxes or Compulsory charges
- No Charge for pre-allocated seating
- No Charge for meals drinks or newspapers
So what is this business? Yet another new low cost airline! The answer to that is no! The parent business is Just Flights, a 20 year old UK company. They charter about 30 passenger jets each weekend during the European Skiing season and sell the seats to ski tour operators. Just Flights built its business with "high end" service rather than the traditional charter flight image of "no frills and no service".
Over the past few years there has been an emerging trend for do-it-yourself skiing holidays. Simultaneously, some scheduled airlines have started adding extra seats to their planes. Just Flights found itself with extra capacity (approx. 1500 additional seats per season) that its existing clients didn't want.
The solution is http://www.jfl2go.com/ which sells these surplus charter flight seats direct to the public. (They may want reconsider the website name - not instantly memorable is it!)
They have a limited number of routes with flights to Geneva, Grenoble, Innsbruck and Lyon from Manchester, Gatwick and Heathrow.
They say they undercut the scheduled airlines and provide a higher standard of service with hot meals, sociable flight times, agent service and an all in price with no extra charges for ski gear.
So if you are a skiier travelling to any of these destinations they must be worth a look: http://www.jfl2go.com/
