 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know this gets asked a lot but I like an easy life and I'm finally off next week so just want to know what anyone's recent experience has been at Bristol and Grenoble with regard to boots and/or helmets in carry-on with Easyjet and/or Ryanair?
And before anyone else says it, I don't mean "Sid James is allowed to wear boots but only in Grenoble but Barbara Windsor can wear anything" etc...

I asked the question a few weeks ago at Bristol and the reply was you cannot have boots or helmet in hand luggage, Grenoble has signs up saying so too

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

Has anyone actually had their helmet 'destructed'?  (Sorry, back to the Carry On jokes I fear...)
I only ask because lots of people seem to have been told they can't take this or that, and plenty of people have seen the signs, but I don't recall reading anything from anyone who has actually been turned back at security or been made to repack in the airport. Does anyone have first-hand experience of these 'rules' actually being implemented?

A friend's daughter was relieved of her ski boots by Bristol airport security last winter. She left without them, and purchased another pair in resort. She didn't get the original pair back on her return. Expensive ski trip.

Flew from Bristol to Grenoble on 21st December with helmet in hand luggage & no problems at all. However, I put it in hold luggage for the return flight yesterday as, like Hywel, I saw the signs at Grenoble warning boots & helmets couldn't be taken in hand luggage.

Ouch!.
How did they justify losing them?
My only experience of anything left behind at Bristol was a sun hat that I accidentally left in the gate area, but which was in the lost property office when we returned. Something deliberately left (at their insistence) should have a better chance of still being there on return.
