Not travelled with Jet2 with my skis previously. So just went online to book them in.
Supposedly they are limited to 6ft, 182cm. Really?

I am presuming that is not enforced but gives them the leeway to get arsey if they choose.

@ianbradders, never had an issue. My ski bag is around 190cm
@Bergmeister, that's odd as their carry on size is still the same as BA. easyJet standard is now smaller and it's anyone's guess what Ryanair's policy today.

@ianbradders, no issues for us at Edinburgh or Salzburg with then last week. One of our ski bags was a triple bag and must be 190 cm long. 23kg weight limit from memory??

I've paid for jet2 skis, do they allow a seperate boot bag and ski bag? Their website isn't clear!

We're flying with jet2 through Neilson's. I've paid for ski carriage. I want to take two pairs of skis, worth risking it? If I'm in the limits then can't image they check contents?

@kitenski, we flew Leeds —> Salzburg at Christmas. The ski carriage supplement covers skis and boot bag.

@blacksheep, website gives a weight limit - in my experience, so long as you are inside this, you should be fine.

I've just got off the phone to the Jet2 sales desk in BHX because I wanted to be sure. They allow skis and boots to be in separate bags, so long as the combined total is less than 22kg.
Only problem for me is, my skis are mounted with Marker Dukes, which weigh about half that on their own...

Just booked a jet 2 flight and paid for a standard check in bag , this will be my double ski bag loaded with boots and everything else . Easily keep under 22kg especially as there is another 10kg with hand luggage.
Always use a soft bag /rucksack for this though to avoid size limit check.
The size max for checked in bags is 180cm which is just ok for my skis but I doubt they check anything unless it looks way longer.
In my experience Jet2 are excellent and very helpful !
My return flight with Ryan Air may be a different story though !

Just flown back on a Jet2 flight Toulouse/Manchester and fine with 2 pairs skis in 1 bag. They asked if we had separate boot bag as they seemed to expect that too but we put boots in the normal hold bag with clothes. No problems. Have travelled with Easyjet and other airlines with 2 pairs in 1 bag and no issues as long as not overweight. Never had the bag length measured.

Flew from Edinburgh - Salzburg on Saturday and the chap at Edinburgh didn’t care that we had skis and boots, he said as long as it’s under 22kg, it’s not a problem. Was super smooth actually, I would definitely recommend Jet2. Hopefully it is as smooth on the return journey.

However, our excitement was dampened somewhat when the officious check in lady produced a tape measure, duly measured our bags, told us they were too big and relieved us of 20 quid each to check them in!

I just flew Jet2 for, perhaps, the second time ever last week and was impressed. They gave us the option of checking our 10kg carry on luggage into the hold free of charge, which of course we jumped at. Many others did as well so the plane loaded fast with non of this fighting up an down the aile to find somewhere to put your big bag that you get with some airlines. It was all very civilised.

Just checked website as I’m flying with Inghams on a short trip. 22kg skis and boots. Sadly the £1 offer is still there!
