Coach Travel

Overseas transfer coaches
Please note that many overseas transfer coaches and buses, especially in the USA and Canada, are not fitted with seat belts. This also includes the yellow ‘Bart Simpson’ school buses and resort shuttle buses.

Your ski coach

Travelling by full specification coach, to a wide selection of resorts in Europe has never been easier or more comfortable.

There are significant advantages:

• Potential savings of over £50 per person can be saved against Ski Flight tour costs
• Simple organisation. Your coach collects you direct from your school and then returns you nine days later
• Easier supervision. Your group remains as one unit throughout the tour
• Extra Free Places: 1 free place for supervisory staff is usually given for every 8 full paying passengers, however, for 43 paying passengers on a 49-seater coach you are entitled to 6 free places

Please be sure to budget for meals en-route.

What Size Coach?
We generally offer 49 seat vehicles operated by well-established, reliable British coach operators. It is sometimes possible to request larger vehicles, however please note that a supplement will apply. For further details please contact our sales team.

Please do not forget to allow for free places in addition to paying members in calculating the total number on your
coach. The coaches we use are designed for Continental travel, all have seatbelts and most are fitted with WC, TV and video. Some coaches have extra facilities such as reclining seats, stereo, fridge and drinks machine.

On a 49-seater coach a minimum of 40 full paying passengers is required to have exclusive use of the vehicle at no extra charge. If your group does not meet the minimum numbers required a supplement is payable.
