Poster: A snowHead
|
This might be a dumb question, but:
If you fly easyjet you can check skis in at £37 each way or a windsurf or board for £45. Skis have a weight limit of 20KG, the surfboard has a limit of 32KG. You can see where I'm going here, right? If you have a big ski bag do they care what's actually in it as long as it's under the weight limit? Would mean I could skip taking any other bags at £30+ each way so it's a cheaper option.
Asking for a friend...

I'm not an expert by any means but I can imagine the issue would be if they didn't deliver your "surfboard " to the destination they may only cover the costs of hiring a surfboard....

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

Can you imagine the cost of getting a surfboard delivered to the alps in Feb?
I wish they'd have a couple of weight options for the skis as it seems like up to 32KG is fine as long as you pay for it in advance. Think BA do up to 23 which helps a bit.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Book it in.
If queried, tell them you didnt see the ski option.
Not like they will refund you if they spot it!

No, but I've flown a kayak booked as a windsurf...

The amount of water there is currently in the western alps you’d be better off with a surfboard or canoe!

@B., yes, i did this with easyjet a couple of seasons ago from gatwick, they did not seem to care that i was only checking in a ski bag instead of a windsurf!
