The cheapest way to break a leg?
The cheapest way to break a leg in this winter?
This statement is followed by an offer from a flight company showing cheap prices of flight trips between UK and the Alpes. The question: what is the connection between the statement and the offer? I look for the meaning of break a leg and it says something like wishing someone good luck. So, I could not understand the implied meaning of breaking a leg and these flight trips if there's any. Can someone help?
Thanks in advance

You're right about 'break a leg' for good luck. Here I see a reference to falling on the ski slopes and breaking (literally) a leg. And this airline will get you to the Alps for less money than any other.
