Speak to customer services in advance and screenshot their response. After a bit of back and forth, I just got them to confirm that ski boots would be fine in a hold bag with clothes and other items. I then pushed it to skis as well and was told as long as within weight and dimensions, all fine.
Not cheating the system if they say I can. I'm not wasting extra money on sports equipment charge.

I love the “other skiers may save money by booking on rival airlines who are transparent about their policy”

So what's the consensus here? haha
I'm assuming, to be entirely safe: (1) you can pay for only sports luggage and put your regular luggage in there with your ski gear and be fine, assuming it's within weight. (2) you may be able to get away with putting ski gear in your "regular" luggage, but may be asked to pay extra, depending on which moron is at the desk?
Booking flights to the alps for two trips this winter from Manchester. Trying to choose between Jet2 and EasyJet. Can't find specific prices on either website for winter luggage unless I have already booked flights and want to add stuff on. Does anyone know what they charge for each leg of the trip? Would help me to make my decision.

@Andycuk7 I have the same issue with skis on my 2 trips - one next week and another to the same resort end of Feb. Flying next week and driving out in Feb. Plan was to leave my skis in resort and drive them back in Feb. Easyjet told me that 'one way ski carriage' can only be booked at at check in at the airport and they couldn't give me any indication of price other than it would cost more at the airport. I uumed and aahed and in the end booked ski carriage return for £74 as didn't want to be in a situation where 1 - I was paying maybe £60 plus one way and 2. I guess they could say 'the plane is full and no room for skis that have not been pre booked'.
As you are flying on both trips then you have a slightly different dilemma in terms of cost vs assurance

@Andycuk7, @charliesimpson, was there any cost benefit to book return flights instead of single journeys?
am sure you used to get a discount (of sorts) if booking a return fare on any form of transport, but have found recently that it does not seem to apply anymore.
I now just book single journeys, if I can, on any journeys I make, Eurotunnel/Eurostar/ferry and flights etc.
i know it may be too late, but this way you could have just booked the luggage on the outbound and inbound leg that you needed to

As @terrygasson, that is the answer. EasyJet flights are costed per sector and there is no benefit to booking return flights. In this scenario in the future just book the two flights separately. The only potential downside is the return flight will likely be changed in the currency of the country it is departing from, but that will not change the actual cost.

@zikomo, you can choose your currency in the app - top right, currency settings - default is start point currency, but you can choose £ (or Zloty, if you prefer).
