I am also after some more concrete information as I am buying a ski bag to transport my wifes skis (and possibly my own if I can get some at the right price in the Glisshop sale)
The one I want is the Dakine fall line double , and the 190 cm one in case I purchase some all mountain 180-185's
The bag itself is just over 2 metres long acc. to Dakine website
However Jet2 ski carriage says max length for ski bags is 6 foot (or 183 cm)...
The lady I spoke to at Jet2 said that is all they guarantee , any longer is at discretion of checkin staff - which seems rather unhelpful.
Has anyone had any experience in this with Jet2? Will they allow longer than 6 ft?
Do they allow but charge as oversized ??
Or not allowed at all !

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

Hi,
I've spoken with Jet2 customer services previously, and they've advised that 6ft is the limit, but that it will depend on who's on the desk and whether they can be bothered measuring.
Which isn't particularly helpful...
But I'd be shocked if anyone did ever measure it.
FYI my ski bag is 200cm long, and no-one's ever measured it (yet).
(I guess that's not all that helpful either ?)

I just bought mine on ebay - It cost less than £95 inc delivery - from a retailer called sport spezial based in Innsbruck. It arrived in a couple of days and is a cracking bag - can't wait to use it!

I know this thread is about Jet2 but I'm going with Crystal.
And the allowance is just 15kg per ski bag.
I've never had a problem before except once at Calgary where my bag weighed in at 30kg. but I just said my boots were in there as well and the just let it through.
But 15Kg ... that is ridiculous, I think the skis alone weigh 13kg,
then the bag itself must be 4kg,
Then there are my boots probably 5kg,
Then the wife's skis, probably 10kg
and her boots another 5kg
Helmets, gloves goggles,
Ski Mo-jo another 5kg
Spare coat, spare pants,
+ a few tins of figs.
And it cost £40!!!
Perhaps they limit the weight to 15kg so that people dont take the wee wee?

Hi @P O Pepsi,
Ah .. the 80s one!
Yea I like to wear that on sunny warm days.
I got my "ski stuff" box out of the loft a couple of days ago, to have a rummage through.
I do have a great "reversable" ski jacket form the 70s, bu I don't think its very warm anymore.
But I'm taking a suit from the 90s with me next time.
It dosen't fit me to well anymore but what the hell!
Its quite a rare Nike outfit the pants are better made than a modern set of Norronas, with zips around the legs and over the bum.
I suppose its for back country emergencies?

Can confirm everyone what everyone else has said. The check in staff really aren't too bothered, they don't mind what is in the ski bag and you can pool your hold bag weight and ski bag weight together if need be.
I did see the 50p for ski bags and wondered what they would do if I had a ski bag and a normal case - I could have my boots in there and helmet (which I usually do anyway).

That's what I'm planning to do - skis and kit in one bag. Boots and helmet in the other - its ski equipment after all! Tho given my next trip is only for a long weekend, I really ought to be able to pack light!!!

I would never trust Jet2 with all my clobber for a trip in a ski bag. They've failed 3 out of 4 times to get our skis out and back on the same flights as us having paid a lot more than 50p for the privilege. Never use them at all now.
