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 :-)

Doncaster/Robin Hood Airport: Boots in Hand Luggage

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Looking to do this & my boots/bag are within the hand luggage dims/weight allowance so shouldn't be a problem but don't want a last minute hitch. Tried contacting the airport/airline with no avail. Anyone done this specifically at Donny or had problems trying to?

Do you mind if I ask where you are flying to and with whom? I wasn't aware there were any ski destinations served from there since EJ dropped their Geneva flights.

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

I've flown Doncaster to Turin but always have my ski boots in my hold bag. I'm pretty sure I saw someone take a boot bag on board though, albeit a few years back.

Ahhh right. I never flew with Crystal. But I've taken boot bags through security there albeit a few years ago. Some airlines (Monarch IIRC) get a bit funny about excess weight in carry-on bags.

It's a lovely airport though, reminds me of Stansted 15 years ago, park outside, walk inside, check in, clear security, all within minutes.

Last few years I have been with Monarch and like everyone else worries about going over weight limit as Monarch are or can be funny and hit you with excess weight costs so I always take a rucksack as hand luggage and put one of my boots in that and other in case, have had no issues..... so far. Monarch again this January so crossing everything I can.

Just to be safe I suggest you wear one and put the other in your hand luggage.

I have always flown with my boots/bag as hand luggage without a problem. If Monarch have a problem with the weight just take the ski boots out and wear them, problem solved
