And a mere six hours after leaving home he was sitting at the top of the 1655 chair lift looking out on this view of the Dome de Miage and Aig. de tre-la-tete Mountains leading towards Mont Blanc.

For more details of the Fly Baboo route from London Oxford airport to Geneva just go to the Fly Baboo website.

If you have any tips or photos that you’d like to share then just email them to me at em@ski-concierge.com

The flights are running weekly on Saturdays from the middle of December to around Easter (depending on popularity they may run later). The times are as follows:

Oxford to Geneva leaving at 14:05, arriving at 17:00.

Geneva to Oxford leaving at 12:20, arriving at 13:20.

The flights are currently on sale for £90 each way including all the taxes.

They are also offering free ski or snowboard allowance, free wine and canapes for the duration of the flight and generous baggage allowance. We’re liking the idea of free wine (wonder if there’s a limit) and canapes! Plus you only need to turn up 1 hour in advance.

The great thing about travelling from Oxford is that it’s a small airport, so it’s a no hassle option. There’s parking onsite at around £20 a week, you can literally park, walk a couple of hundred metres and be on the plane, all within an hour!

Lets just hope they get the numbers so they can continue the flights, although being an Oxford local, I know plenty of people that will take this option rather than the hike over to a no frills base!
