 Poster: A snowHead
|
Having just purchased my first set of skis i am looking for a ski bag to take them abroad in. Ideally i would like to have it big enough for me to fit the majority of my kit in (with the rest going in hand luggage) so i can save some £££ hopefully when flying.
Is there any particular bag that would be suitable or can be recommended?
Also when travelling with EasyJet if i book as one 'Small Sports Equipment' as long as i don't go over the weight limit of 20kgs can i check my skis and boots in as separate bags or would need to put it in my ski bag? I tried taking them as hand luggage last week flying out from Bristol but was told i had to check them as well as my suitcase so ended up having taking a load of stuff out my case and putting boots in as they wanted £30 to check through as an extra bag!

I just picked up a wheeled Sport Conrad bag for 60 euros online and was very impressed on its first outing last week. Big enough for skis, boots and extra clothing-and under the 20 kg limit. Easily under the 20 kg limit on the way back as some git nicked my skis outside the Folie in VT, despite me swapping skis. They must have been watching....

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

@ben.metherell, Dont bother with Easyjet in my opinion if taking luggage. I use swiss or BA as they dont charge extra for my ski`s. But not sure on options in the south west.

@Kamikaze Pete, don't really have much choice, its Easyjet from Bristol, FlyBe from Exeter - who charge even more and change to Air France in paris, or otherwise would have to travel to London or Midlands to fly

@ben.metherell, Fair enough then- in that case I think you have to book hold luggage to book sports luggage but could be wrong. I have the Dakine Fall line bag which is nice and big for all my stuff but there are no straps or anything to hold the ski`s in place
