No, I'm not dead yet! 
Does anyone have any experience flying Flybe with a coffin type ski or board bag, ie. not just skis/board?
From my reading of their terms, only a limited number of skis/boards are allowed, and for a coffin bag it's Standby only! I'm tempted by a ££ deal for a 15 Dec flight, bit not so sure about the risk of having my kit not arrive with me! Cheers

Yeah, if your kit doesn't arrive you'll be dead upset....

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

@Robin Agogo, Where you going mate? I know FlyBe have that rule but never heard it enforced. But get checked in early.
Where you off to? Does BA fly there? I know some tricks for flights.

having a quick look at https://www.flybe.com/baggage/exceptional-baggage
Its only the propeller type plane that has the stand-by only.
The jet's should be fine.
I booked with Flybe (lead pax in a group booking) for this year & booked my coffin type snowboard bag, at no point did anyone taking my money tell me of any limitations.

Perhaps it depends on which aircraft they're using. I've flown Flybe Southampton/Chambery several times (without skis) and noted that restriction in the terms and conditions. I also met some people at Southampton who were anxiously waiting to see whether their skis would get on the plane (Embraer Bandeirante).

I flew with a Dakine low roller with them to Milan. No problem going but check-in at Milan said I could only have skis in the bag. I said that's all that's in there and they said ok.
