I want to fly to Girona from Blackpool but return to Manchester. I can do this with two single flights but what I can't find out is this - do I have to buy double for the baggage allowance for skis i.e £30 out and £30 back instead of a £30 return.
Does anyone have an answer to this as I can't find one on their website.
Cheers

Jumping Jack Flash, is everything not priced one-way on ryanair anyway?

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

holidayloverxx, yes. It doesn't matter which airport you come back to - however much it is, it's per flight.

Jumping Jack Flash, It's under Terms and Conditions on their site (£25 each way) to quote:

| Sporting or musical equipment including but not limited to large fishing rods, golf clubs, bicycles, scooters, fencing equipment, surfboards, bodyboards, snowboards and skis and large musical instruments including but not limited to harps, double bass and drums are inherently unsuitable for carriage by airlines operating fast turnarounds such as Ryanair. However these items may be carried in the hold of the aircraft in addition to your personal checked baggage allowance upon payment of an additional charge of £25/€30 per item, per one way flight via www.ryanair.com or £32/€40 per item, per one way flight at the airport or through a Ryanair call centre. Smaller musical items such as a guitar, cello, violin or viola which exceed our cabin baggage dimensions may be carried in the cabin if a seat for it has been reserved and the appropriate fare paid. There is no checked baggage allowance associated with the purchase of an extra seat. |

One slightly related question to this- would be grateful for any help
Am flying out with Ryanair to the Pyrenees for a shortish Christmas break and have decided to book for ski carriage on top of my 1 item of hold baggage but have balked at paying yet more supplement for an extra bag for my boots, especially since that doesn't increase my luggage allowance. It mentions anyway that ski carriage is inclusive of boots and poles.
Does this mean that I am allowed a boot bag in addition to my main bag and ski bag? Or are they real money grabbing pedants and only allow you to carry the skis, boots and poles together in one huge bag? Unfortunately my ski bag doesn't have the space to hold boots as well. I guess if they don't allow me to carry a boot bag I will have to pack one boot in the main bag and one in the hand luggage which is doable but a bit of a pain.

Dr. Will, I think it means you can carry the boots in a separate bag

It's not clear how many bags it refers to - I have been trying to find out the specific details - also can anyone find a weight restriction on the ski carriage?

Can I bring my sports equipment or bike?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sporting equipment including but not limited to large fishing rods, golf clubs, bicycles, scooters, fencing equipment, surfboards, bodyboards, snowboards and skis and large musical instruments including but not limited to harps, double bass and drums are inherently unsuitable for carriage by airlines operating fast turnarounds such as Ryanair. However these items may be carried in the hold of the aircraft in addition to your personal checked baggage allowance upon payment of an additional discounted fee per item, per one way flight if booked online. If the item is not booked until arrival at the airport or through a Ryanair call centre the full fee will apply. (Click here for details)
Due to space restrictions, we recommend that all sports equipment is pre-booked online or through your local reservation centre, as not to do so may result in the item being refused carriage at the airport. If the fee is not paid at the time of booking or on your outbound it will be charged for on your return journey. |
Trawled the website and no weight given anywhere?

I suspect all you will get is another 15Kg, but just a guess.

Easyjet give you an adiditional 12kg. I might assume ryaniar does the same assuming it gives you 20kilos nowadays for standard as 32kg is the safe limit for one bag.
Jan'07 went to Friedchicken with Ryanair - 1x backpak, 1x fully stuffed board bag, paid the extra for carriage c. 29 kilos no issues.

Butterfly, it doesn't say anywhere on their website AFAIK. I got away with two snowboards and some extra clothes in my board bag last season when my suitcase was already close to the 15kg limit. I can't remember the last time my board bag was weighed by any airline when it comes to it.

You know it makes sense.

I've flown Ryanair quite a few times for skiing (using them again in February and March). I usually put my ski boots in plastic carrier bags (separately), then I put them into my holdall on top of my clothes - meaning I am only taking one bag. I wear my ski jacket onto the plane. I've never had a problem.

You won't get away with putting boots in hand luggage anymore (airport security rules), so unless you want to stump up the £50 charge for taking a boot bag, you will have to put the boots in your main bag. However you should (hopefully) get away with wrapping some clothes around your skis and stuffing socks etc into any remaining spaces in your ski bag. The next trick is to put as much as possible into your hand luggage which has a 10kg allowance (but need to be careful with the dimensions of this). Hopefully this will free up enough space and weight allowance so you can put your boots in your main bag. Good luck !

Am considering getting something like the Dakine Low Roller ski bag which will take skis and boots and quite a lot more - just wondering how much more I could stuff in it before hitting a weight restriction!
