 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just checked in at Milan after skiing in Cervinia for a few days, then attending some work meetings in Monaco and getting up at 4am to make sure I avoided the italian traffic on the drive from Monte-Carlo to Milan!
So tired and hungry I check in with large bag and one ski bag.
I was told my bag was overweight and would have to pay the additional fee. I then pointed out that I'd paid the £15 each way to bring sports equipment, therefore my total limit was 32kg.
She then proceeeds to argue that I MUST have a seperate boot bag, and cannot have my boots in my main bag.
After much arguing, I then show her the boots in my bag, and she eventually agrees not to charge me and give me my boarding ticket!
Anyone heard of this one before, I'm back out with jet2 over Easter with the kids so will be seeking clarification!
regards,
Greg

kitenski, I don't think there's much reason to jump up and down. We've had a lot of conversations about luggage limits in my group and this one has come up a few times, theory only until now.
Check in staff are box tickers, luggage is luggage , addidtional sports equipment is completely separate in their heads. Trying to merge the two into a single limit is asking for trouble.
Sorry buts thats just how is

kitenski, Airlines are trying to reduce the weight of individual bags to assist with handling. The days of the giant bag are finished. yes your total limit is 32kg, but an individual bag limit will still apply.

Just flew with Air Canada, 3 snowboards, 2 pairs of boots, 2 sets of bindings, all in one bag - no problem, no additional charge.
Apart from it being 2Kgs overweight on the way out - still no charge. Depends on who you fly with basically and the rules applied by that airline, simple as that really.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Frosty the Snowman, That is completely true, hence the reason I always take the one bag as it's usually within the one bag weight limit - I don't usually go overweight to be honest but had packed a few bits and pieces inside boots and was lucky to not get charged additionally. Removed them for the journey back!
