 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm off skiing in a weeks time. I'm using Swiss Air - whom I understand provide free ski carriage.
My question is: how fussy are they about what goes in my ski bag? I usually like to wrap a few fleeces around my skis to give them a little protection - but I won't bother if they're going to get shirty about it.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

abj, no worries with Swiss in my experience. 2 pairs in one bag no problem, snowboard bag packed to the rafters, no problem. I think as long as it's less than 32kg you'll be OK.

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

it is written into Switzerland's constitution that you can carry your skis anywhere and they don't bust your b@lls about what goes in the bag with your skis

Arno, except you can't put your rifle in the ski bag. That has to remain uncovered in the luggage rack, ready for immediate use!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

abj, fill it up as far as it will go. As masmith says, it's only a problem if any single piece of luggage weighs heavier than 32kg

bloody hell, so it is, going there for the first time in a few weeks and hadn't realised. Have flown into Switzerland many times to ski in France but never the other way round. You learn something new every day. Hats off to Professor stanton !

You know it makes sense.

I'm also flying on Swiss soon and will have my 4 month old baby with me. Any idea about whether we get extra luggage allowance or are able to take the car seat on the plane?
