Snowjet adds Geneva to route network

Friday 20th November, 2009

Snowjet, the ski flight specialist, will begin operating direct flights from London Gatwick to Geneva in Switzerland for the 09/10 winter ski season.

The weekly Geneva service will complement Snowjet’s existing flights to Chambery and Sion and has been introduced in direct response to passenger’s requests.

“Our Chambery flights provide easy access to some of France’s top ski resorts including Meribel, Val d’Isere and Courchevel, while our Sion flights offer the fastest route to some of Switzerland’s best resorts including Verbier, Saas Fee and Crans Montana,” said David Lacy, Snowjet’s Managing Director. “Our passengers were telling us they’d appreciate flights to access other resorts including Chamonix, Morzine and Avoriaz, so we’ve introduced the Geneva service to meet this demand.”

The flights, available to book online from today at www.snowjet.co.uk, have a lead in fare of just £29 one way, including all taxes and a free 20kg baggage allowance. Ski-carriage is just £14.99 one way.

As well as providing access to some of Europe’s finest skiing, Geneva is a vibrant commercial centre renowned as Switzerland’s most cosmopolitan city. Located where the Rhône River exits Lake Geneva, with a stunning lakeshore frontage, Geneva is exceptionally picturesque, featuring some of Europe’s most luxurious hotels, casinos and exquisite shopping.

The new Geneva route complements Snowjet’s established routes, between Gatwick, Stansted, Bristol and Manchester and Chambery ski airport in the French Alps and the recently introduced direct flights between London Stansted and Sion in the popular Swiss Valais region. Snowjet flights are ATOL protected, giving passengers’ financial protection and peace of mind.
