re: ski boots

Hi Julie,
We always pack our ski boots in our hold luggage and usually end up with approx. 18.5 Kg per bag. Have a great time, we were there three weeks ago and had a brilliant holiday, although the snow was becoming a bit sparse here and there. I gather that more has fallen and is forecast, so it should be hunky dory.

re: ski boots

You are not allowed to take them on as hand luggage any more. Their excise is it's because of the extra weight on the plane. So they have to go in the hold.....

Have a great time. I'm back out there next week and can't wait!

re: ski boots

Thanks for that James, and Paul. It was one of those purchases which left me thinking oh what have i done. Its a struggle to pack efficiently at the best of times..so looks like the kettle will stay at home.

re: ski boots

Depends on the airline, BA tell me they aren't bothered, as long as the boot bag is within the size limits for hand luggage it is fine.

Normally use wizzair and they are fine with ski boots as hand luggage, do easy jet let you take boots in boot bag as hand luggage? Appreciate answer?

My experience this year going with Balkan Holidays & flying Thomas Cook. On arrival at airport they will NOT allow ski boots on as hand luggage. Basically they combine weight of boots (

re: ski boots

Sorry should continue

weight of boots (max 5kg) with weight of case (max 20kg)and it all goes in the hold (max combined weight 25kg).

No hassle really if you don't mind having your boots in the hold.
