‘Ski Canada for the price of a European flight’
Low cost transatlantic airline Zoom is targeted independent skiers with £99 flights to Canada this winter.
The carrier plans to fly from Gatwick to Vancouver three times a week and weekly from Glasgow in addition to a weekly Gatwick-Montreal service from November.
The Vancouver flights, which start at £139 one-way, are designed to offer seven, 10, 11 or 14 night stays in the ski resort of Whistler, north of Vancouver. Meanwhile, Montreal acts as a gateway to the Tremblant ski area at £99 single.
Zoom claims the prices are equivalent to the cost of European ski flights.
The Canadian airline, owned by former Direct Holidays bosses John and Hugh Boyle, will not charge extra for skis, snowboards, boots or any other piece of sporting equipment.
UK director Debbie Marshall claimed great demand has been generated from independent skiers “who can now experience the Rockies at prices similar to a typical European flight”.
