Is Thomas Cook the airline? If so, the rules are on their website and likely to be enforced. Stuff your boots into your holdall.

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

@sugarmoma666, the rules are there yes, problem is the cabin bag weight limit is 6kg so it’s a bit tight to get ski boots + other non hold items in! Think I’ll have to make it work though, so frustrating that they can’t be separate if within weight! I did call Thomas cook and asked if I taped the boot bag to the ski bag would it be ok....apprently yes

I'm assuming you are not planning on taking another hold bag to check in? You might end up having to wear your boots on the plane!!

I wasn’t planning to no! I travel a lot with work so I’m usually a hand luggage only person. Good job I didn’t pay to reserve seats on the plane either as hubby will probably divorce me if that happens!

Are you not taking a holdall or suitcase as well as your ski bag? My ski boots travel in my holdall in the hold.

@sugarmoma666, no I’m not, booked flights and accommodation separate not as a package so no hold luggage included. But honestly the 20kg ski allowance and 6kg hand luggage is more than enough for me for a week so I don’t really want to have to buy additional hold luggage just to take the boots in their own bag. I’m just going to use my hand luggage allowance.

Be very careful with Thomas Cook... I posted this in another thread recently...

I've not had mine weighed before, but I have seen other people have theirs weighed.. Mostly backpacks that appears to be stuffed full of items, and I've seen a briefcase weighed at check in too. Guess it's the luck of the draw/who serves you.
I'd have thought if a person travelling with you is under the 5kg hand luggage allowance, then common sense of pooling this weight across a party would be acceptable, much like their hold luggage. May be worth checking with them? (and hoping you don't get someone having a bad day!)

This... I had a nightmare last year at Manchester travelling with Thomas Cook... they were militant on me rolling eyes I had ski boots that fitted perfectly in a cabin sized "wheeled case" but came in just too heavy at weigh in for hand baggage... I then had to put one boot in my check in bag which took this over weight and they charged me for the excess weight on my checked in baggage! The combined weight of our entire party was below the allotted "pooled weight" but they still wouldn't budge... cost me an extra £20 quid Evil or Very Mad

FAQ
I have a seperate ski and boot bag which I was planning to use (and will ensure both are within the 20kg allowance). Has anyone had issues with this? I’d like to use my hand luggage allowance for other extras rather than my boots.
