Tips on How to Reduce Your Luggage Weight

After another summer of heatwaves, wildfires and floods, Climate Change has become an undeniable reality.

Reducing your luggage weight will make for a more comfortable journey and it will have a considerable impact on your carbon footprint.

This article by Fly Aware explains how if everyone on a Heathrow to Frankfurt flight took 1kg less in their luggage, in 1 year they would have collectively saved 60 tonnes of CO2!

Read about your Luggage Allowance on Ben’s Bus, including how to pay for more bags

We’ve listed our top tips on getting your baggage weight down. Or read our blog post on how to reduce your carbon footprint and help protect our mountains for future generations

1. PACK LIGHT

– DON’T OVERPACK. Give more thought to what goes in your bags. Do you really need all those clothes? Potential Saving = 3kg

– LAPTOPS and chargers don’t make for a relaxing holiday. Maybe your phone can do everything? Potential Saving = 2.5kg

– LIGHTWEIGHT SKI GEAR. For instance, Merino wool thermals are very light and effective. Potential Saving = 1kg

– TOWELS & LINEN. Check if your accommodation could provide or rent towels and sheets. Potential Saving = 1kg

– TOILETRIES such as shower gel and shampoo could be bought in resort and shared. Potential Saving = 0.5kg

– CO-ORDINATE with your friends so you don’t bring 4 sets of hairdryers / speakers. Potential Saving = 0.5kg

– DUTY FREE. Check if your arrival airport offers a pick up service. Potential Saving = 1kg

For those who aren’t regular skiers, or just trying it for the first time, you could rent your ski clothes in resort. This would also save you a lot of money.

2. HIRE SKIS IN RESORT

Ski hire shops have come a long way in recent years. Prices are very reasonable and probably comparable with the extra cost of bringing your skis / board on a plane. That extra weight adds a lot of CO2 onto your carbon footprint.

Most shops have a large range of modern equipment and some even deliver to your accommodation. You don’t need to lug your gear to and from the airport and wait at the oversized luggage. Visit our discounted ski hire page to get a quote.

Ski Season 2021/22 Airport Transfers

Posted 19th January 2021

CAN I GO SKIING NEXT YEAR?

The 2020/21 season was just a tad frustrating for skiers and boarders, as nearly all ski holidays were cancelled. So many of you are now asking…. will ski resorts open in 2022?

All European ski resorts will almost certainly open for the 2021 / 2022 season. High vaccination and low hospitalisation rates have brought confidence back to the ski holiday industry. However, many Tour Operators are no longer running the traditional catered chalet holiday, partly due to Brexit. Instead, self-catered accommodation seems increasingly popular.

Scroll to the bottom of this post to read about our extra Christmas Holiday weekday services.

2021 / 2022 WINTER SKI SEASON – AIRPORT TRANSFERS

Select a Ski Resort below to see how we can get you from your airport to your destination, or scroll down for more information.

Our transfer buses can also help you get to La Tania, Peisey and Les Coches (from Aime) La Rosiere, Villard Reculas and Auris en Oisans. Our transfers from Grenoble Airport are currently only on sale up until the 26th March 2021, which is when the airlines change to their summer schedule. We will be running buses in April 2022. You can find out more on our Easter and Spring Transfer Buses Page.

Apart from our special transfers for the RISE festival, our Saturday-only service starts on the 8th January 2022. We generally have only a mid-morning service, although in March we also have a late afternoon bus. The resorts we service are listed on our Lyon Airport page. Our transfers are now on sale and you can get a quote or book online!

Our ski transfers from Geneva Airport run on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the season. We also have some weekday buses over the Christmas and New Year weeks (scroll down for more details). For our most popular routes, such as Geneva to Val Thorens, Geneva to Tignes and Geneva to Val d’Isere, we have up to 8 buses per Saturday.

If you are heading to Alpe d’Huez and Les Deux Alpes, we will have a bus connecting with every single scheduled flight, any day of the week, throughout the season. Our services to other resorts such as Tignes and Val Thorens, will run on week-ends all the way through season .

2021/22 SKI SEASON TRANSFER PRICES

We’ve frozen nearly all our prices for the 2nd year running. That means you’ll pay the same this season as you would have done in the 2019/20 season. You can see our fares on our Prices Page. A Return costs about £90pp for resorts like Val Thorens, Tignes, Val d’Isere, Les Arcs, La Plagne and Meribel and just over £50pp for Alpe d’Huez and Les Deux Alpes. We still have discounts for groups and children. Sign up to our Mailing List at the bottom of this page and like us on facebook to get access to any promo codes.

WHAT REFUND GUARANTEES ARE THERE?

We know that you need the peace of mind of receiving a refund should you need to cancel. Flexibility to change your booking for free is another key requirement for many holidaymakers. That’s why we recommend upgrading to our new product, Ben’s Bus Plus. This allows you to book with confidence.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS WEEKS

This year, Christmas Day and New Years Day falls on a Saturday, the traditional changeover day in ski resorts. A lot of airlines don’t actually fly on Christmas Day. The resorts know this and a lot of accommodation providers will change their holiday packages to a Sunday – Sunday in December, reverting back to a Saturday – Saturday in early January 2022. We’re running some extra buses from Grenoble and Geneva over the festive period.

If you are planning a trip between Grenoble Airport and either Les Deux Alpes or Alpe d’Huez, we connect with every single scheduled flight. So whatever day you fly in or out, we will have a bus for you.

TRANSFER TIMES TO BOURG ST MAURICE

Bourg St Maurice is a size-able town of about 8,000 inhabitants. It sits the end of the Tarentaise valley floor in the Savoie departement of the Rhones Alpes region of France. It is well connected by road (the N90 ends here) and its bus and train station serve as the transport hub for the surrounding ski resorts. The eurostar also terminates here.

Advice for Bad Traffic Days

HOW TO TRAVEL SMART ON BAD-TRAFFIC DAYS IN THE ALPS

At certain hours of the day, on certain days of the year, the roads are so saturated with traffic they become gridlocked. This has got worse over the past few years and we are now seeing some of our transfers to Tignes take up to 7-8 hours!

The worst area is between Bourg St Maurice and Moutiers. Everyone coming down from Val d’Isere, Tignes, La Rosiere, Les Arcs and La Plagne uses this road, which is only 1 lane in places.

The worst time of day is usually between between 7am – 1pm (heading out of the resort). On the school holidays dates, the traffic is truly horrific.

We therefore don’t run any buses at certain times of the day during the school holidays. Not only does it make for an unpleasant ride for our customers, but our drivers need to take legal breaks for safety reasons. We will not knowingly put our drivers and customers at risk.

It is much better to take an earlier bus to the airport and spend time there, where there are toilet facilities, space to stretch your legs and plenty of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Read our tips below on what your options are.

CONSIDER TAKING THE TRAIN FROM BOURG ST MAURICE TO MOUTIERS

If you’re travelling from Val d’Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs or La Plagne to any airport, we may have later services from Moutiers. You could book a Single with us to your resort and then make another Single booking from Moutiers to your airport. You can then take a local bus or taxi to Bourg St Maurice (or the funicular from Les Arcs), from where you can take a train to Moutiers. This would obviously dodge all the traffic. We’d advise booking in advance.

If you plan on leaving the airport, make sure you’re back there 2 hours before your flight as the queues for Check In and Security can be quite long!

KILL TIME WITH A SHORT TRIP INTO GENEVA

If you arrive at Geneva Airport well in advance for your flight, you could consider taking a train into Geneva and having a coffee or some lunch overlooking the lake. This is a much more civilised way to spend your day!

– Click here for details on the 2 main locations to store your bags at Geneva Airport.

– Click here for details on the regular and very cheap train shuttle service between Geneva Airport and Geneva City Centre.

KILLING TIME AT LYON AIRPORT

There’s a luggage store at Lyon Airport run by SafeBag. Lyon is the culinary capital of France, so it’s worthwhile heading into town if you have plenty of time to spare. Otherwise the airport has fairly decent facilities.

– The Rhones Express train service takes about 30 mins to arrive at Lyon Part-Dieu, which is the centre of town and the Central Business District.

– Another, better option could be to take a taxi to main square in the nearby town of Genas, which is only about a 10 minute drive away.

KILLING TIME AT GRENOBLE AIRPORT

There’s no luggage store at Grenoble Airport and it’s in the middle of nowhere, so there’s not much to do. There is a little village close by called St-Geoirs which has some restaurants and a lively square which sometimes has week-end markets.

– Click here for details on the shuttle bus service between Grenoble Airport and Grenoble City Centre.

– The airport has a very good restaurant in the Departures Lounge. You need to walk up the stairs at the far end and you will enter a bar. Behind that is the restaurant and terrace overlooking the runway.

– There is a restaurant called La Grillon on the edge of the airport grounds. It a safe, short walk on flat ground. We recommend checking the opening times and booking in advance.

BE PREPARED – BRING PLENTY OF FOOD AND WATER

Make sure you have enough food and water for the journey. This is especially true if you are diabetic.

Keep any medicines in your hand luggage and avoid drinking coffee before your journey.

Make use of the toilets before you get into your vehicle. Ask the driver if you need to go en route.

Bring a book, some games for the kids and lots of downloaded videos to view on your device.
