This is what I could find with altibus
Lieu de départ
AEROPORT GRENOBLE ISERE L.7310
Lieu d'arrivée
LES DEUX ALPES - AGENCE VFD L.3030
Billet 1 trajet 5,10 €
Pass 1 jour 10,20 €
ALLER
Date 22/06/2008
RETOUR
Date 29/06/2008
The fare from Grenoble Coach station to Les Deus Alpes is €5.10 for a single, and coaches run 6 times a day in winter season and 4 times in the summer season. the last coach up to the resort is at 18:30. |

| Reckoner and James - those flights sound awesome, and I think the altibus transfers seem really good, for the price they are awesome! If we're all flying though it would be cool to try and get on the same flights and transfers, maybe a few pints at the airport before too! |

Just ran through the ryanair flight and it comes to just under £130 all in, :
London (Stansted) (STN) to Grenoble Lyon (GNB) 25.64 GBP
Grenoble Lyon (GNB) to London (Stansted) (STN) 24.40 GBP
Fees, Services and Travel Insurance
2 x (Airport Check in) 6.00 GBP
2 x (Pax carrying 1 Checked in Bag) 12.00 GBP
2 x (Ski) 50.00 GBP
08 Days Adult Insurance 9.49 GBP
Total Payment Amount
Excluding handling fee
127.53 GBP
Though obviously you can take off the insurance, I forgot! But still, not bad really, though I'm not sure If I'd rather pay a few quid extra for BA, never flown with Ryanair before. BA flights are £105 and I THINK board carrage is £30 return |

| Ha nice, sounds like a plan to me then! are you two bringing your own boards too btw? If not then ryanair's definately the way forward, their board carrage costs are higher than most other airlines but like I said, the costs work out so similar it doesn't really seem to matter which line we go for! |

| yea, I'm bringing a board but I don't really mind which airline we go for. As long as flight times are reasonable I'm not too bothered. |

yeh bringing mine too, ive been with ryan air before dont think you get a meal thats the only thing i can think that was cr@p, but thats not really a big deal. the BA will probly be nicer and if its only a few quid more cant see a reason for not going BA.
Do we need to book soon to keep these prices low? |
