Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Some airlines (e.g. Swissair and
Lufthansa
) require you to notify them in advance if you are taking your skis with you. I'm wondering what happens if you don't tell them in advance? Can they refuse carriage?
I normally follow the requirements specified by the airlines. I'm going skiing to Japan for the first time later this winter and will be flying with KLM. OH has status with Skyteam and is allowed to bring in an extra piece of check-in bag (which can be skis) so we are hoping to make use of that. KLM doesn't require us to tell them in advance but that got me thinking and hence my question.

@euanovsky
, there's a thread on this somewhere, with particular reference to BA. If I remember rightly, lots of people don't bother to notify (me included) but have not suffered any bad consequences. So far.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, Swiss International Airlines (note Swissair went bankrupt in 2002
) don't require you to notify them in advance and free ski carriage is automatic providing you have the classic fare and not the cheapest cabin bag only fare.
Lufthansa
do ask you to notify them in advance however (then they add a note to your booking and send you an email with the updated booking details).
