Not sure if this is new.
I just checked an EasyJet flight from Amsterdam to Basel and ontop of the extra €6 charge for your baggage they also want €45 for 1 pair of skis .
I see they want £4 & £30 for similar flight from Luton.
Rediculous.
I,ll continue with Swiss

Been there for a while now. £15 each way for skis and also now they charge £2m each way for bags to go in the hold.

Frosty the Snowman, got that one too, annoying as I've already booked my flights and paid for ski carriage

I've booked my flights but not paid for ski carriage yet. Do you think if I try adding it now, it'll let me have it for free?

There probably charge you a change of booking fee. Be time you paid that + the ski carriage it wold be cheaper to hire oin the resort

There isn't a change of booking fee to add ski carriage on at a later date, as I have done so.

Frosty - I'm with you (posted a similar thread this a.m.) I've already booked and paid for carriage too. Don't rate our chances of a refund!

I deliberately didn't pay at the time because I knew that I could add them at any point for no "extra" above the £15 each way. Just looked at the t&c for promotion and it is quite narrow.
Only one free pair of skis per booking (even if there are 2 or more people on the booking)
Only one free ski carriage per household

Elizabeth B, I've just tried (for our MSB flight) and it is charging £30. I only need it in one direction (return), but I can only book both ways.

I cannot believe you guys even entertain these charges imposed on our sport.
Everyone should boycott these so called cheap airlines.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

stanton, what are we supposed to do? Walk?

|
|
|

|
stanton, yeah, what are we suppose to do about it? Fly Swiss I assume, who don't fly from our local airports. Pollute the envorinment with our cars and drive there? Or be a happy Hollander and skate on the canals instead? Cycle with them strapped to our back?

You know it makes sense.

most of us still wouldn't be able to afford to fly, at the huge prices that the airlines were charging.

fatbob, Cant you just book 2 single trips - one there with skis & one back without 
|
|

fatbob, I was planning on waiting until I had taken the outbound flight, and then seeing if I could add the ski carriage that way. If I can't I can always phone them.

If the mountains were nearer we would cycle with the skis. This is how we go surfing here

When I started skiing I used to hitchhike down to the Alps in less than a day

I paid at the airport last year, explained that I couldn't book a one way ski carriage on their website, so they charged me £15.
