Baboo-lific! Travel in style to Geneva…

Jane Bolton, MD at Erna Low Ski Holidays, shares her Baboo experience on her way to Morzine…

I now know what it must be what it is like to be a film star. We were in a private lounge at London Oxford airport having parked right outside the building (with parking permit number 2) and had our luggage carried for us to check in.  Even the regular car park was only a stone’s throw from the Terminal building.  It took us just over an hour to get there from West London and we only needed to be there an hour before departure – what a joy when compared to the 1hr 45 we  have to leave to get to Gatwick by running the M25 gauntlet and the 2 hours check-in you have to leave before being entering the scrummage of the security queues.
We were welcomed by smiling staff and check-in and security was fabulously quick, I can only imagine this was what it was like to travel in the golden age when you were made to feel special when boarding a flight. 
The flight itself, the new for this season Oxford-Geneva route on Baboo, was smooth with some delicious canapés, the plane is relatively small so we were not able to get to a bridge and there was a bus at the Geneva end but with usual Swiss efficiency our luggage was on the carousel as we came through passport control.
The return was equally smooth.  For anyone not used to Geneva airport on a Saturday during the winter, it is extremely busy.  The Baboo check-in was however very quick and efficient and the flight left perfectly on time.  Our arrival back to London Oxford cannot be compared to any other international arrival I have ever experienced.  You can see your baggage being lifted off the plane and put on the one and only roller carousel and then it is straight out the door through passport control and in to the car park. 
Overall my experience of London Oxford airport and the Baboo flight was exceptional and I would hugely recommend it.  I am delighted that Baboo have announced their flights are on sale now for next season so I would urge you to book early to get the best prices.  Remember that there is no charge for skis or snowboards and the baggage allowance is 20kgs + equipment.  It really is the way forward for me and we had a fantastic ski trip.
