Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Double ski bag with virgin
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I am looking at booking a flight using virgin Atlantic and not sure if they will accept a double ski tube. We have always used BA and they will take a double ski tube with 2 sets of skis as one piece of extra luggage.
The virgin website does make reference to not taking a set of skis and snow board as one piece of luggage and also refers to one set of ski but does not specifically say you can't take 2 pair of skis in the same bag or tube.
Anyone have experience of this?
Thanks

No one at VA has ever looked in my Da Kine bag. Provided it's underweight what business is it of theirs.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

What he said, I've flown Virgin with snowboards, no hassle. The check in staff may as what's in the bag but they never look.

@MogulMonkey, Provided you are within the size/weight limits it shouldn't be a problem. After all, a heavy set of skis with 3Kg frame bindings can easily weigh more that two pairs of touring skis/bindings.

I think it tends to be more of an issue with the budget short haul operators. I was once on a Easyjet flight and they announced during boarding that there were too many pairs of skis, and some would be removed and sent on later flights. It appeared to relate to storage capacity, rather than weight.

As you mention BA don't care, I've flown with 3 pairs in a big ski bag multiple times without issue.
