I recently got informed I have 7.5 days holiday i need to take from work before January 31st 2012. I am already down to go the Winter Bash....so where do you guys and girls advise I go, I need some where relatively cheap. It will be a last minute booking too i believe.

Make the bash a 2 week thing? Not cheap but saving on 2 flights might make it cheaper.

If not, slovakia/bulgaria if they are getting snow

Bansko is a great place if you wake up early to miss queues and epic if they have snow.

Agree with Dashie. Why not make your holiday two weeks? Save on flights and travel costs.

I can second Slovakia for cheap, too.

two weeks for the WB wouldn't be possible as being away from work 1 week at time is hard enough because there's only me that can do certain things lol else id book 2 weeks. So its going to have to be 2 separate weeks.

the week in bansko what catering is that?

Bed and Breakfast. Last time we went half board the food was rank and ended up eating eating out for 6 of the 7 nights.

Thanks Tom

Crystal ski deals are based on 4 people sharing, when you go solo prices go up! Sad

Can't complain when work tell you you need to go on holiday!

Surprised they don't carry over the days though. Thought that was common practice.

Mate if your on your own try the neilson places that are for solos.
They don't add a premium for being on your own in a twin room.

I went to Austria in Jan on my own with Neilson for £600 inc flights, lift passes, accommodation and half board.
