Anyone else had problems adding ski carriage to Ryanair booking. I can't find any option to add it?

Nope. It's quite simple. If you can navigate the website which just want s to sell you cars and hotels on top. It's definitely an option.

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

@Ghost Dog, "If you plan to bring any sports, musical or baby equipment, you will be able to add it later in the booking flow in the Equipment section. You can also add these after you've completed your booking in the Manage Booking section."

I think... you have to add them after the initial booking - you can see their charges on the website, but I couldn't find a way of adding ski (or sports) equipment until I had booked and then gone back into the booking - then it appeared magically (and annoyingly)!

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've always booked whilst going through the booking before final confirmation/payment. That is not saying it hasn't changed though.

 You'll need to Register first of course.

Definitely not an option while booking at the moment. Just when you thought they couldn't makes things any more difficult.

You have to add it after the booking is complete......
In my opinion the reason they do that is because most people, upon Seeing the extortionate rates they charge for carriage, would just book with BA and have it included in the cost of the fare.
Last year I was quoted £70 each way for ski carriage!!! Booked with BA in the end and it ended up far cheaper over all and a much more pleasant experience!

BA are not an option if you don’t want to fly from London though.

 You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Website says it's cheaper to add as part of booking, dearewr if you add after. But you can't add during booking FFS!
Have given up and just booked bags. We will all rent, only 3 days anyway.

Yes ... definitely check out other airlines if you are taking skis.
More often than not, after the inclusion of ski carriage, the so-called budget airlines work out more expensive than BA, Swissair, etc which either include skis as hold luggage or allow skis to be taken free of charge.
I have a massive double ski bag. In it I carry one set of skis, my boots, and all my clothes, and still manage to stay under 23kg. I take an avalanche backpack as hand luggage with my helmet strapped to the back.
Never had a problem.
In fact, I am flying with Air Canada in January and, by using this method and adding a boot bag, paid for no hold luggage at all as they carry skis and boots free ..... not bad.....

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

If the OP Is interested in exploring options for better airlines, let me know outbound airport and destination and maybe we can put some ideas forward. Anything to keep money out of Mr O’Leary’s pocket gets my vote!

I'm the same, I just hate using Ryanair but sometimes it's unavoidable. Charging for hand luggage really does take the biscuit.
