@kiteman69, there was a code on an email a little while ago, freeski or skisfree or something not too complicated. No idea if it's still valid, but might be worth a shot.

I need to look into this. I read somewhere that Jet 2 are starting a weekly EMA to SZG service this winter which is ultra handy for me. Hopefully it's cost effective as well as handy.

Ski carriage with Jet2 is £1 if you book this month. Plus new route EMA to SZG. Happy me!

@queen bodecia, thanks for pointing this out. I've just taken advantage of it and booked LBA to GVA on 23rd March for a long weekend. Flights were less than I paid for my March weekend this year, so with £1 for ski carriage a real winner.
The deal runs out 18th October, so get in there anyone else who wants to take advantage.

You know it makes sense.

Looks like Jet2 have reintroduced this deal for a limited time.

I've just booked from EMA - GVA for Feb - skis 50p each way for 22kgs!! Now this sounds too good to be true. So much so, I booked a £1 worth each way!!!! 44KG's I've not booked a hold bag as I thought I can just pack everything in with my skis. Does anyone know if they allow this or do JET2 stick to the rules where it has to actually be a pair of skis/boots only in the bag ?

@P O Pepsi, according to their website ski/board carriage is as it sounds, i.e. a ski/board bag containing skis or board, not a hold bag containing clothes and no skis. The size limit is 6ft x 3ft and weight limit is 22kg so it sounds like a bag containing a couple of pairs of skis or one of those coffin bags with skis, boots and other luggage would be acceptable.

thanks QB- I've not booked a hold bag at all but booked 2 ski bags each way - I suppose if I put 1 ski in each bag plus my kit, I've covered it!!!! lol

Does anyone know if the jet2 ski carriage allows a pair of skis (in a skitube) plus a separate boot bag?
I would probably be able to fit the boots in my suitcase but would make life easier if I didn't have to.

They were really relaxed at the EMA check in. As long as the 2 items are below 22kgs I don't think they would bat an eye- you could strap the 2 together for check in? Have they still got the 50p offer on - in which case, If I were you, I 'd push the boat out and blow the budget - takes the worry away! I packed boots, clothes toiletries in my ski bag and had no probs.

@sheffskibod, yes they're flexible. Jnr had his ski bag with 2 pairs of skis plus his kit bag (boots, helmet, tools, pads) go in as bulky/sports kit. Total weight approx 27kg. This was off set against his bag allowance (his hold bag was about 12kg).

In Jan flew Manchester to Grenoble with Jet2 ( package with Mark Warner) all paying extra for ski carriage...£35 I think. One of our party took a boot bag as well checked into the hold and got away with it but I think he was just under his total weight limit. I always put one (well stuffed) boot in my rucksack and the other in my bag. In my experience no one ever weighs a rucksack provided it looks the right size to fit in the overhead.
IMO being polite to the check in staff always helps if you are borderline. No quibbles withJet2 staff at Man.
Coming back the French never seem to care.
