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 :-)

Nothing has changed from the point of view of sports equipment including skis and boards as far as I'm aware. It's the people carrying 2 or more suitcases to check-in that are going to be hit.

cathy, thanks. I waded through it but there's a lot of cobfused info. still Smile

As I understand it, you are allowed 23kg in a normal suitcase and then 1 piece of sports equipment (or a set as in skis, poles + boots) as an extra as long as that weighs no more than 23kg also.
So, if you are carrying sports equipment, you are allowed 46kg but it has to be in 2 separate suitcases.

Now, I have a Dakine wheelie bag, which literally fits everything in it. My skis, poles, boots, skiing gear, casual clothes, etc. I think this comes to 27kg. maybe 30kg if I actually lob the boots in.
Won't that be over the limit?

GordonFreeman, yes, the maximum weight for any bag is 23kg. So your Dakine bag would be too heavy. Pack 5kg of your stuff into a small bag, leave the rest on your Dakine one and you'll be fine, as you have sporting equipment. If, however, you decide to take two bags of luggage, regardless of weight (e.g. 11kg in one and 12kg in the other) you will have to pay for the extra bag.

BA must hate having customers (at least economy ones). Everything they do seems to be trying to ditch them - it's worked for me.

petemillis, Spot on - I can't understand why everyone is getting so worked up about this. For skiers/snowboarders who can keep all 23kg of their clothes etc in one bag nothing has changed. You still take your boots and skis in separate bags for nothing. Your hand luggage can weigh as much as you can carry as long as it doesn't exceed the maximum dimensions. Still a better deal than sleazy jet and ryanair.

Steve Sparks, actually they have been changing the wording for skis and boots to be in one bag ! but they seem to have changed back now. See separate thread under Trips

rayscoops, I agree their communication of this has been somewhat sloppy, but from conversations I had with check-in staff back in November I understand that it had always been their intention to allow boots and skis in separate bags.
