 Poster: A snowHead
|
My travel agent has seriously let me down. I used them specifically to get some sort of assurance that my skis would be carried without a problem and was quite clear that I was only prepared to book if ski carriage was confirmed. Regrettably the flights are from Edinburgh to Innsbruck via Frankfurt and are operated by Lufthansa (EDI to FRA) and Tyrolean Airlines on a code share (FRA to INNS) and they work a strange system where you book first and confirm skis later.
I have now found out that the outbound part of the trip from Frankfurt to Innsbruck has no space left for skis and I am now wondering what my best way of getting them there is (ideally with travel agent picking up cost).
Anyone got any tips?

Better to get the travel agent to pick up the tab for some top-quality ski rental, I'd have thought. Then you'll at least know that you're guaranteed skis.

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

If you can find a way to get them to IBK (courier?) I can keep them in my attic and try to get them to you when you arrive, but can't promise to be able to meet you exactly as your flight arrives due to work etc. PM if that helps at all.

When do you need to get them there? We are driving to that area mid-December and could squeeze a bag in for contribution to petrol.

its middle of January I am going out and there are two major hurdles
1) There are 2 *ahem* snowboard bags (easier just to say skis)
2) Coming from Scotland.

Pleased to say this has now been resolved and gear will apparently now be carried, I have written confirmation so ready for any nonsense at check in. Salutary lesson about booking with lufthansa or Austrian airlines thought, make sure you know they will definitely take gear before committing to buying tickets
