 Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone know what airlines attitude is towards 2 sets of skis in a ski bag?
Flying wit Austrian airways and they carry skis free (providing you pre book the skis) which i have done. They have agreed that 6 of the party of 7 can take skis (I have this in writing0 but say there is no further capacity for the 7th.
So will I be able to put 2 sets in 1 ski bag (im thinking a child set and an adult set)

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

Interesting, I was going to say that I've never seen an airline check how many pairs are in a bag, but then I've also never come across an airline saying they can't carry any more skis (though I think I remember other SHs having this experience). I'd still be surprised if they got concerned about/noticed multiple pairs in one bag, provided the bag isn't taking-the-pee-massive.

Should be fine. We always book just one ski bag and put in it 2 pairs of skis, 2 pairs of poles, 1 pair of boots and other bits and pieces. Never had any comments, usually they just stick a label on it and tell me to take it to oversize baggage.

Have done so every year for past 5 or so years with no questions at all.
Having said that, I make it a point to be nice to every check in clerk I meet, might have something to do with it.

Austrian tend to use small planes, which will be why they have a limit on how many ski carriages they can take.
It is possible they might be more strict as a result (but I think still unlikely).

Have taken two pairs in one bag before without problem. I've never seen the bags checked so long as its within the weight limit.
The only time I would think you would have a problem if the bag went missing/damaged and you tried to claim for two pairs.
