 Poster: A snowHead
|
i'm looking for a bag to take both my skis (162) & my gear.. & maybe even boots too. The snowboard bags look the best option, something like this -
http://tinyurl.com/yqawgm - though 180 is a bit long. Any recommendations, anyone selling one & what is the length restriction on most flights..?
(i don't really want to have to wait at the outsize luggage bay EVERY time! Usually my bag which is about 168 comes out on the carousel...)

Personal experience tells me that carroussel/ousize lugage bay choice is down to each airport practices and the size of your bag won't make much of a difference..

My only comment would be not to go too big and stuff too much in it if you are going on Tour Op chartered flights. They are making a big thing about ski/board bags ONLY containing one pair of skis/board. Printed on your invoice, booking confirmation and tickets ! I would think as long as you don't take the whatsit and it's obviously packed to the ginnels with everything you will be fine. We took a board bag that was 180 long but it wasn't overfilled and a suitcase. Travelled with Monarch via Inghams. At Calgary the skis/boards come out at a seperate area, back at Manchester they came out on the carousel. I think the weight limit for it being classed as oversize/weight is 32kg's.

FAQ
not too much.. lots of shower washes for the kit 
but i take the point... i'd be happy with 2 bags instead of 3.. so i reckon one of those board bags will take skis & quite a lot of the kit, that would enable me to get my boots in the other bag with the rest of the kit.
