Well I got through to a person and they said that I only had to pay the £15...
If i get a response to my email and it doesn't mention anything about weight allowance I'll follow up and find out if the £15 covers 12kg or 32kg and let you all know...

I paid for ski carraige when i just flew with easyjet - I dumped my 2 bags on the scales at the same time, 25kg, was asked if my big bag was snowboard, it was, and everything was fine.

Ta rayscoops, so you only paid the £15 each way and not the £3.99? Interesting...

joe1978, if you booked your flight before a certain date there is no baggage charge. (I think it was early August)

I tend to pack everything into my ski bag and take my boot bag on as hand luggage. Never had any trouble with it before but now I am going to have to call the Airport!

joe1978, that's right. the £3.99 is for the hold backage within your allowance, the £15.00 is a separate charge for your skis.

On the way to the Atomic bootcamp in November I was asked by the check-in Girl at Bristol if my ski bag contained one pair of skis or two. I said it contained two (it's a double ski bag). The weight of the skibag came to more than the 12kg but when combined with my main bag I was still under the 32kg. She said I should have paid for two pairs of skis but that she would let me off this time.
Anybody had this?
I'm planning on removing the bindings of both pairs of skis next time (they're the rail mounted type) and putting the bindings in our main bag and both pairs of skis in a single ski bag. We'll see what happens then!

joe1978, from what i've picked up so far you pay £3.99 each way for every item of standard luggage that you put in the hold of the plane.
The Sports equipment supplement already includes this £3.99 charge so .....
for one standard item of luggage and one ski bag you'll pay £3.99 and £15 each way.

joe1978, I did book the flight ages ago, ski carraige paid for, free hold baggage. It must have changed 
edit - just checked and they are now charging for hold baggage, but if you can fit everything in your wheelie board bag and be under 32 kg (they will not allow anything heavier as a single piece of baggabe irrespective of allowance) which you should just be able to do, you should be ok ande not need any hold baggage. Hand baggage subject to size is free so put heavy objects in the your hand luggage (bindings)

"Thank you for your email.
I am pleased to confirm that the ski carriage which you have paid does still include the carriage of your ski boots "
Direct from Easyjets customer services - so £15 for your boots in a boot bag and one pair of skis in a ski bag

ropetow, yip, that is how it is generally considered over the last year at  , but now if you want your normal luggage bag in the hold as well you must pay extra £3.99, so ski bag + boot bag is £15, one hold bad £3.99 each, one appropriate sized hand luggage free. Total weight allowance 32 kg, but this can gon up to a maximum of 50 kg but you pay per kg over the 32 kg free allownace. No single bag may weigh more than 32kg otherwise they make you take things out of the bag.

Did you remember to prebook your toilet voucher ? I understand that its £4.99 if you need to use on the flight and you haven't pre booked.

Regarding Easyjet:
Just one more question - to which I know what I think the annoyingly correct answer is :
If I can take boots in my main luggage allowance, packed inside my main hold bag, can I do the same with Snowblades.
Every time I've been skiing in the past, snowblades were never charged for and went through as normal luggage due to their size. ie. No additional / special handling was required.
My blades inside their padded bag are 1.02m long. Normal luggage size I would suggest.
So - Can they go as luggage, rather than ski's and not attract the £30 return premium ?
I currently have 2 hold bags pre-booked based on this assumption. I didn't even think at the time that it would be different.
Answers on a fast postcard please as I fly from Liverpool on Thursday 3rd.
Thanks
Simon

simon.love, the restrictions are really size based. I reckon as long as it looks like normal luggage it's up to you what you put in it.

That was my thought, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience as I'm sure Easyjet are into making money and technicalities can't really be argued when you want to get onto the plane.

simon.love, agreed, but by the time it gets to being x-rayed you are long gone from check-in - no?

True. I think I'll give it a go and see what happens. Worst case, it's £10 extra for not pre-booking Skis and Boots.
I have two bags the same, so I'll put my other holdall into the other one so it looks like we've got a pair of matching bags. Should help.

First post to this board, so hello everyone...
A lot of you are complaining about budget airlines - I can only add that Air Berlin (www.airberlin.com) are a budget airline but they're actually really good and they fly the increasingly popular London Stansted -> Munich route competing with easyJet. Friendly service, free drinks, understanding and sympathetic staff, and cheap. With all that I can't imagine choosing easyJet again, I've had the unfortunate privilege of flying with them a lot and they are rubbish and their ever increasing and devious charging policies just go to reinforce my resentment for that bunch of toss... rant continues...

I'm lost on this one. We flew with Easyjet in December from Bristol and took luggage as follows - 2 check-in bags weighing approx. 20kg each and 1 ski bag with two pairs of skis in it, which I paid for as one lot of sports equipment. It quite clearly states on the Easyjet site that you're allowed 50kg including your sports equipment, with no one bag weighing over 32kg.

thefatcontroller, On my booking form, it states that one piece of sports equipment (for which I paid £15 each way) was allowed up to 32kg. Surely I haven't got to pay £30 plus excess baggage charges? That's charging me twice! Or is this what everyone is getting at? Sorry for being dim.

erica2004, Not being dim don't worry. What it means is no charge up to 32kg, you can take up to 50kg but anything above 32kg is excess baggage.
The bit that is confusing is that you have paid for up to 32kg, you can take up to 50kg but you will pay for over and above 32kg.
That help?

Hi, I'm a bit confused! I booked my Easyjet flight at the enf of Oct and paid for ski carriage. At the time I don't think i paid for hold baggage - I don't recall seeing an option to? So I believe it hadn't yet come in to force. However, reading this thread it appears the rules changed in August. My booking confirmation states this:
-----------------------------------------------------
Hold baggage and sports equipment
-----------------------------------------------------
Payment has been taken for 1 Pair(s) of skis
-----------------------------------------------------
1 Hold bag(s) per flight between all passengers combined The 1 passenger(s) in this booking may check in a combined total of 1 hold bag(s). The 20kg hold bag weight allowance (per passenger) does not increase with the addition of further hold bags.
So does this mean I get one hold bag of up to 20kgs, plus an extra 12kgs for ski and boot bag? Or did i somehow completely miss the bit about booking hold baggage at the time of booking?
Thanks!

Yes it does, but spread over the 2 bags with neither exceeding 20 kgs.
Last week I saw signs at Grenoble airport for Easyjet stating boots and helmets are NOT allowed as hand luggage.

Frosty the Snowman, thanks. I'm still confused though as to whether or not I get the free first hold bag, plus the ski carriage as I booked before the rule change. Or if 29 Oct was after the rule change did i forget to book the primary hold baggage somehow? In which case all i can take is my ski bag up to 20kgs! It's not very clear!

beanie1, I think that the default is 1 bag, so you may have paid for it without realising?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elizabeth B, maybe - but in that case wouldn't it say "payment has been taken for 1 hold bag and ski carrigage. Passenger may check in up to 32kgs."??
It is really not very clear at all, arrgghh!

beanie1, if I go into my bookings, it only states (for 2 people)
| Quote: |
2 Hold bag(s) per flight between all passengers combined
The 2 passenger(s) in this booking may check in a combined total of 2 hold bag(s) for each flight on this booking. The 20kg hold bag weight allowance (per passenger) does not increase with the addition of further hold bags.
If you wish to add hold bags to your booking, you can add the relevant charges to your booking. |
I have yet to add ski carriage, as I only want to add it to my return flight, and I can't do that until I've done the outward leg.
