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 :-)

boredsurfin, according to a pilots forum - apparently old news and well known to airlines using regularly. They have to make adjustments accordingly. Must have been a surprise to the first person who discovered it...

I flew City Jet to Zurich a few weeks ago. They have no problem carrying skis. However, if you are already checking another bag then you will need to pay a surcharge for your skis of £14 per sector. If your ski bag is the only one to be checked and if it is under the weight limit (20Kg IIRC) then they will carry it for free (although sometimes you need to debate this, as I've had to do so on 2 trips).

Went out from London City to Geneva with them twice just before Xmas, and will definitely use them again.

Planes are 146s, as are most using City, hence smaller than the average short-haul and quicker to unload - on both inbound flights my bag was on the conveyor by the time I'd walked from the plane and queued for possibly 30 seconds at passport control (fewer people on the plane means fewer people arriving at customs at the same time). Brilliant.

Friday night can be bedlam coming out of London City, particularly if delays are backing up, but just about any other time it's a breeze - queues are rare and it's easy to get to and from the City by DLR.

Ticket pricing is dynamic so off-peak is good value; particularly mid-week - the second trip was £83 return booked the day before departure (Easy were quoting £280 for Gatwick-Geneva for the same timing).

There were certainly snowboards on board both flights so I'm sure they do carry skis.

Only downside (I think) is that London City can get fog-bound, so early morning flights can sometimes be held for an hour or two.
