Ski Carriage Weight

Going to Pamps this weekend with First Choice. Does anybody know the weight allowance as i want to put 2 pairs of skis into a single bag. Will this be ok. flying from birmingham

re: Ski Carriage Weight

Check with First choice regarding their allowances but most airlines don't stipluate limits for the Ski gear so you should be ok - the only exception I have found is BA - who allow you to use you 23k allowance on anything. The likes of easyJet etc will only say somewhere in the small print that no single item can exceed something like 37kg - this due to the health and safety implications of having it handled...

Hi Darren,

I went with Balken to Borovets this year and there limit for ski carrage is 15 KG, they let me have two bags i.e. skis and boots as long as under the total 15Kg.

re: Ski Carriage Weight

Hi guys came out on sunday had to pay £40 usually i get away with my head monter bag 2 pairs of skies and 2 pairs of snow blades and other clothes, however balkan checked my bag at the airport and charged me extra as i had two pairs of skies in the one bag it did weigh 28kg lol last six years got away with one carriage however balkan have said if they check your bag and you have paid one carriage but have two pairs of skies they will remove one. Best to check with airline...

re: Ski Carriage Weight

Hi Darran, I flew out to Borovets at the end ofJanuary from Manchester. Holiday was booked with Crystal and we flew with Thomson. I paid £30 for ski carriage (23Kg. limit) packed two pairs of skis plus poles in one bag and the only comment on checking in, was that only one pair of skis would be insured. As I have my own insurance I wasn't bothered. Hope this helps and have a great time.
James.
