Regards

Gareth

re:Travelling with Ski Boots

you can put your ski boots where you like but they must fit inside your case(and weighed). or hand luggage(and not weighed).i put one in each and just stayed within my weight allowance with easyjet. steve.g

re:Travelling with Ski Boots

Think this depends on who you are travelling with - we traveled with Crystal last year and boots counted as part of 20kg allowance and had to be in suitcase. Traveled with Balkan before and counted as ski carriage. Anyone know if this is still the case with Balkan as flying with them this year?
