 Poster: A snowHead
|
has anybody ever booked a holiday with them
were going out with them in 2 weeks and the luggage allowance seems daft
they allow us 20kg including snowboarding equipment
first choice who were flying with(their standard weight is 20kg!!)say this about taking boards
Skis and snowboards - A charge is levied by your Tour Operator.
so equity allow us free carriage of skis/boards but it must weigh no more than 20kg<<<<which is the standard weight limit
this is from their website
Luggage Allowance
We recommend careful adherence to the limits. Excess charges can be high. Unless stated otherwise on your ticket, the luggage allowance is 44lbs (20kgs) per person including ski equipment but not hand luggage which should be limited to a maximum of 11lbs (5kgs).
Please note that all airlines reserve the right to send skis and excess baggage on a later flight if the total payload exceeds that permitted. Excess baggage will be transferred to resort as soon as possible and Equity will provide emergency hire equipment if necessary. The luggage allowance may be pooled by the whole party. Please also see ‘No-frills airlines’ info.
Free Ski Carriage
Most people take our inclusive hire skis but for those who prefer to take their own, there’s no charge. Aircraft luggage space is limited so ski carriage is subject to load and occasionally skis may follow on a later flight. Please see ’luggage allowance’ and ‘No-frills airlines’. Please carefully note that skis are considered part of your 44lb (20kg) luggage allowance.
basically we havent got enough of a limit to take our own equipment
my board/bindings and wheelie bag are about 12kg minimum
any suggestions please before we get stung at the airport

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Ditch the wheelie bag, put the board in a lightweight bag instead, stuff your clothes in a squishy bag, and don't take so many of them.

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

i went Rocket SKi (in jan 07)- which is part of Equity and we had to pay £15 (each) for snowboard carriage which is a lot cheaper than the £30 (each) we have been stung by RYAN AIR for flights on Friday !!
