I see on Balkan Holidays web site that the weight of a ski/board bag should not exceed 15 kilos. I had intended filling it with additional gear so how rigid are they on the weight? Thanks. 11 days whoo hoo.
re: Ski bag weight
It'll be the airline who determines the weight of the bag and I would suspect that they would be fairly rigid. It will depend on the airline
re:Ski bag weight
They were very strict on this when i flew in Jan with them and the fact that it only covers one bag (ie not ski bag and boot bag) which caught a few people out.Limit is as you say 15kg however my skis, poles and bag = 8kg so plenty of room to fit some of your other stuff in. Thats exactly what im going to doing.

Flying BA & have to pay an additional £34 each way!! (although 23Kg)Better make sure i get my monies worth of free drinks to balance it out!! Lol

Ah we'll that scuppers the plans of filling the bag up, but, the bag takes skis an boots which is fine.re: Ski bag weight
Right, bag can take up to two pairs of skis, poles and boots. With just one set in the bag it exceeds the 15kg limit, only by 1.5kg. Sugestions please?re: Ski bag weight
You must have small boots and skis....Put one boot in your hold luggage then replace with items of clothing.

LAbomba, just to say that I'm also flying with BA, and they've said I can use my ski bag as my checked baggage. I've stuffed it with clothes, shared the rest out in others' suitcases and taking boots in hand luggage.Bit of a pain, but saves £68 at any rate!
