    I have a quote for a ski holiday:
    date 31st Jan for four days,
    price £341 pp for two sharing, 4 in party.
    To val d'isere
    accomodation, flight and transfer, fully catered. Accomodation is three star but looks very basic.
    With fasttrackski or iglu. both have a similar holiday to the same place. My question isn't exactly to beat the quote as it is already cheap but, we want something a little nicer and we are prepared to pay slightly more but the next option up for a ski weekend (not a week) seems to be 1000 each for only slightly better accomodation. Is it possible to book a hotel/chalet room and then book out after a few days even if it means losing the remaining charge? It would be cheaper to get nicer accomodation this way than it would to find a weekend break. Any help please?
