Ski Beat provides a number of travel options to our 30 chalets across seven of the top destinations in France. Ski Beat offers flights from Gatwick and Manchester.
Ski Beat package holidays including flights are ATOL protected.
Flights
Check In
Gatwick Departures (British Airways Charter Flights)
If you are flying from Gatwick, your flight will be operated as a British Airways charter service. Although the aircraft and crew are provided by British Airways, these are not scheduled BA flights.
As a result, British Airways Executive Club benefits, including Avios, Tier Points, online check-in and priority services, do not apply. Check-in is completed at the airport on the morning of departure
Manchester Departures (Jet2 Flights)
If you are flying from Manchester, your flight will be operated by Jet2. You will be able to check in online from the Wednesday prior to departure, as well as add any extra baggage or reserve seats if you wish.
You can manage your booking here:
Ski Beat at Jet2
Baggage Allowance
For Gatwick departures (British Airways charter flights), the allowance is 23kg of hold luggage and 10kg of hand luggage per person. Infants are permitted 23kg of hold luggage.
For Manchester departures (Jet2 flights), the allowance is 22kg of hold luggage and 10kg of hand luggage per person. Infants do not receive a hold luggage allowance.
Please note, ski equipment (skis, snowboards and blades) is not included in your standard baggage allowance. Ski boots must be packed within your hold luggage.
If you are travelling with an avalanche airbag, please contact our Ski Specialists on 01273 855 100 prior to travel.
Ski Carriage
There is a £74 charge per snowboard or per pair of skis, which must be booked and paid for in advance. Ski carriage is limited on each flight, so we strongly recommend booking early. Airport requests may be possible but are not guaranteed and do not ensure space on transfers.
Transfers
Our representatives and coaches will be at Lyon airport to meet and greet you for your transfer to resort. Transfer times are only a guide: they can be affected by adverse weather and traffic conditions. Just so you know, plenty of margin has to be allowed for the transfer at the end of your ski holiday. Please check your Travel Documents for exact times (all timings are local).
Our Coach Transfers with Infants and Children
Infants under 2 years old
All coaches are fitted with 2-point lap belts, which are not compatible with most infant seats, so these cannot be used on board.
Infants under 2 years old may legally travel on their parent’s lap. For safety reasons, please note that you won’t be able to sit in the front four seats, the middle seat at the back, or the seats directly in front of the emergency exits.
Children aged 2–11 years old
Children in this age group will have their own seat and must use it throughout the journey. If your child normally uses a booster seat, you’re very welcome to bring your own, although not essential.
Travel Documentation
Your flight documentation will be emailed to you the Tuesday prior to your departure. If you have a flight where you can check in online, please take any documentation provided by the airline. For all other flights your boarding passes will be supplied upon check in at the airport.
