Will BA let you take a boot bag as a cabin bag? Flying club class to Geneva next weekend and the 2 hold bags are taken up with a suit case and a ski bag?

Yes. No problem with my bit bag containing salopettes, base layers etc etc. People seem to take massive hand luggage bags these days and no-one cares. Probably would try it on Ryanair though!

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

Does the bag fit the inside the dimensions for BA hand luggage 56x45x25cm ?
I have a pull along to almost this size and fit my boots and enough clothing for a few days skiing.

A pull along is more space-efficient than a dedicated boot bag and draws less attention to itself.

@Posidrive, I recently bought a "69" style Rossignol boot bag which is well inside BA's restrictive measurements (very much like the Lange bag that Powder Adict links). I used to use a bowling style bag for my boots in cabin baggage, never ever been a problem with BA.

laying my boots in a 69 position gets me through the latest EasyJet sizes. Poster should have no problems with BA

I had a boot bag with two pair of boots (my wife's and my six years old daughter's) in it as a cabin bag and it wasn't a problem at all. This was on BA flights to and from Turin at Xmas/ New Year's, so very recent.

I got 4 pairs of boots, helmets, salopettes and gloves into 4 cabin cases for our new year trip with Swiss. They all weighted just under the allowed 8 kg. My 28.5 hawx Magna's together were well over the 8kg so I put the younger ones 21.5 rsj's with mine in two cases. They didn't check the weight of them anyway like everyone told me they didn't but I didn't want to take any chances with them insisting they went in the hold.

In Club they’ll let you take a severed head if you want to, its just those in the back they keep an eye on

@Posidrive, they don't care what type of bag it is as long as it meets the stipulated dimensions (if they even bother to check). The BA dimensions are surprisingly large as I have a bag specifically designed to be exactly in line but if they operate a smaller plane with smaller overhead lockers it can be a struggle to take what you are allowed.

Hand luggage bag. Costco do an American tourister one cheap that fits in all overheads and takes a bashing.
We pack all our boots, salopettes, armour, helmets and Google’s in them with a day worth of pants and underlayers.
Was very glad of them in Dec when Westjet lost nearly everyone’s luggage on way to Big White. 21 cases for 122 people. Allowed us to hit the slopes and our lessons the next day without worry.
