Hi all..Have heard rumoured increase in ski carriage on airlines, either wizz or Easyjet, supposed to be rising to £25.00 each way ???
Anyone got any more info ??? seems excessive as some flights now in Feb and March down to £60.00... Perhaps this is how they make their extras...
If it is the case then we will be offering long term secure ski and board and boot storage in Bansko including servicing (wax and edge).. Good idea ???
re: Ski carriage ??
And BH Air have put a weight limit on their ski carriage.People last year with 45-50kg in the snowboard bags which are as big as coffins!!!!
re: Ski carriage ??
And Ba are starting to charge for ski carraige..........re: Ski carriage ??
Have booked with BA and there is no charge for ski carriage, since reading chriss post have checked and ba still say 1 piece of ski equipment included. most of the other airlines are between £30 to £60 per set of skis.
re: Ski carriage ??
Flying out with Bulgaria Air, and could not find any info on web site, so rang up.They confirmed individuals can take 1 ski/snowboard equipment (10kg) in addition to normal personal allowance - Free. Good on them.

Sam, this is a thread from snowheads.....
The policy for new bookings seems pretty clear if unfriendly - better make your ski bag your only bag
Sporting equipment
The changes to our sporting equipment policy will apply to bookings made from 31 July 2009, for customers travelling from 7 October 2009. To avoid delays checking in your sporting equipment if you are travelling after 7 October, please bring your original e-ticket receipt with you to the airport.

Changes to the carriage of sporting equipment
Sporting equipment will be included as part of your free checked baggage allowance.
If the number of bags exceed your free allowance you will be charged the excess baggage rate for each extra bag.
The heavy bag charge £30 ($50) will apply each way to all bags more than 23kg (51lbs) and up to 32kg (70lbs).
All sporting equipment (excluding the not acceptable for carriage list) will be accepted for travel only if they are packed correctly within the maximum weight and reduced maximum dimensions of 190cm x 75cm x 65cm (75in x 29.5in x 25.5in).
The carriage of firearms will incur a £50 charge each way to cover third party handling costs.
Sporting items we do not accept for carriage
Because of the large size and the associated handling complexities, there is some equipment that we cannot accept as checked baggage. Therefore, we do not accept the following equipment:
Hang-gliders
Windsurfing boards and sails
Water skis that exceed the maximum dimensions
Surfboards that exceed the maximum dimensions
Kayaks and canoes
