New ski website from easyJet

Ski-lovers looking for a bargain will now be able to book their accommodation, ski transfers, equipment hire and lift passes through the easyJet website.

The new easyJet service is being provided by B2Bski.com, a Dublin-based ski holiday wholesaler, whose other business clients include Ebookers, STA, Alpha Rooms and The Cooperative.

Louise Marples, easyJet’s Strategic Travel Partnerships Manager, said: “The independent winter sports holiday market is rapidly growing, as more consumers take advantage of easyJet’s wide range of daily, high frequency services to 13 ski gateway airports, giving them the opportunity to hit the slopes several times each season.

"This new partnership with B2Bski means we can make it even easier for consumers to book that winter sports getaway, with all the services and facilities they’ll need together at www.easyjet.com.”

Anthony Collins, CEO of B2Bski.com said: “easyJet wanted a partner they could rely on for resort and ski knowledge, coupled with excellent access to ski accommodation, ranging from 5* hotels to budget apartments. Our booking engine and experience of ski tour operating for both consumer and business fitted the bill perfectly.”

Customers will have a choice of more than 1000 properties in 216 resorts across Austria, France, Italy, Andorra and Switzerland, from 2-star apartments to 5-star hotels.
