I'm glad to have your perspective on this. Another thought re: packages - Some providers offer quite generous early bird discounts on ski packages if you're willing to pay 6 months or so ahead. The downside - not knowing what the ski season will be like before you book. Cheers for the feedback, Mark! I’m glad to have your perspective on this.

Balanced as well. Good call on seasonal activities. I hate people that whinge that 'cheap flights aren't available when i want to fly'....well, get up early, have a coffee and suck it up! :) Seriously though, steer clear of what the masses want and if you want it then be prepared to pay. Final thought...put all the costs together and look at the total package with entertainment, food etc. If it's only $100 more for a full fare airline like Malaysia Airlines don't bother with the risk.
