I'm flying to Salzburg and land at 11:30 but I'm currently booked to transfer at 12:30, is an hour enough time to go through customs and get bags. Or shall I just change the booking till the next transfer (which is a 2 hour wait)

Russeh, Yeh you'll be fine. Have you got your own skis?

ah great I was going to change it to be on the safe side but don't fancy the 2 hour wait in arrivals.
robboj, no I've got boots but I just hire skis why, would that delay things?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

No, but you have to get your skis from a rack outside the terminal building, signs are not the clearest so anyone there for the first time can get confused as no skis come down the carousel but are taken straight outside.

You'll need to Register first of course.

robboj, that caught be out at Christmas.... Spent quite a while waiting for them.
1 hour is plenty of time.

One hour should be ample time to catch a transfer at Salzburg Airport.
A tip for anyone booking a transfer is to write your flight number and arrival time on the booking form (use the 'comments' section) - the drivers will usually wait if they can see that you are slightly delayed. If you are significantly delayed, they will usually re-book you onto a later transfer.

Plenty of time. Even on Saturday morning when all the charter flights land and the airport is completely crowded it takes about 30 mins. At these times the ski bags are normally on a trolley in the car park. You certainly won't want to wait at Salzburg airport for 2 hours or more, it's only a small airport, not the equivalent of a shopping mall...

Russeh, If you are flying EJ and not Tour Op then ski bags will most likely appear on a trolley in the baggage hall, not outside.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

cad99uk, Thats interesting, I'm using Jet2 for the first time in to Salzburg on Saturday. The only previous options from Scotland being charters. I'll report back on what happens but thanks for heads up so that I don't disappear through customs without them?

Russeh, Salzburg airport is tiny, I think there is only 1 duty free shop You have bags of time!

You know it makes sense.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Russeh, Only used them in summer before and they were great, I arrive later on but it will be interesting to see if the skis are same as EJ or charters?

robboj, When you get in the baggage hall ask one of the airport staff where the skis are coming out. They usually know. If not they can use their radios to ask the baggage handlers.
Edit: Before Christmas there were not many skis on the EJ flight so the skibags actually came up on the carousel with the other bags.

On the way back, once you have checked in, there is a very reasonably priced restaurant upstairs. The chicken strips and chips in a basket is really rather tasty.

This is before you go through security. Airside there is very little. A small bar/snack bar (the most I paid for beer all week) and a small and expensive "duty free" shop.
