    My husband just booked flights into Frankfurt with BA using frequent flyer points so only £175 for the flights as Frankfurt had lots more availability for reward flights.

    Then we've got a large estate hire car for £165 (including permission to take it out of country) for 8 days so the initial shock of £1500 travelling costs to take up the free holiday offer have been reduced quite considerably.

    Now to plan some other hotels in Germany with the savings.

    Yes staying a couple of days near Frankfurt with some friends. Then just looking for accomodation a bit closer to swiss border for 2nd April.

    We've booked a room a couple of hours drive from the resort in Austria for the 6th so we can ski the Monday before we leave and then back up to Frankfurt.

    You have it all sussed. Nice one.


    When I entered, I was looking to take my niece and nephew with us, but that can't happen now as they are otherwise engaged. Thought that would be a deal breaker making us ineligible but got confirmation from the organiser that we can still have the stay even just for 2 adults.


    Hadn't seriously looked at travel as I didn't think i'd get to go. Now I better get my thinking cap on.

    We won this too but after looking at flights and transfer times it all seemed a bit much for 3 nights, so we've decided not to take it. I'm a bit gutted because since starting comping I've always wanted to win a ski trip, however we have just come back from a weeks skiing hol that cost less than it would cost for our flights/transfers etc so doesn't seem feasible.


    Hope you all enjoy yourselves though I'm sure it will be fab!

    WOW, how lovely, could you drive? It would make it much more affordable, even if you stayed somewhere cheap enroute? x
