I find best way is pack socks and towel between boots, lock up and put in hold on plane.

hope this helps, good look

Get a ski boot bag for them, put things like ski socks, and other soft packaging round them and put them on as normal luggage - I took mine on the plane just 3 days after I bought them.

Oh, pack things down the leg bits to keep them in shape too.

re: taking ski boots

In your suit case if its big enough. Failing that buy a boot bag, but make sure you wrap your fleeces, thermals etc around your new shiney boots. It protects the buckles from rough baggage handlers.

re: taking ski boots

I would have thought that wearing them was the best way.

Break them in for the ski slopes.... No extra baggage to carry.

Teeny weeny bit uncomfortable on the plane, but a few brandy chocolates in resort will help!!!!!!!!!
