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 :-)

Boots, hand luggage, Thomson, Gatwick
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Travelling to Gevena from LGW with Thomson this Saturday, and currently debating boots whether boots go in hand luggage or into the hold.

Now, I rung up the TO (First Choice) and asked them, and they said it would be no problem.

However, the hand luggage limit is 5kgs and my boots weight nearer 6kgs - BUT how often have you ever had your hand luggage weighed? Having said that, if it appears bulky (as boots will...), are they more likely to check / weigh?

What would you do?

Thanks,
Ed

Once when I was flying Crystal (First Choice plane?) they looked at my hand luggage as said "no that's too heavy - you've got to check it". Fortunately I'd looked at my ticket and it said 10kg was allowed (it was actually Crystal 'Finest'). Supervisor was called, and after a bit of discussion, I was allowed to carry the boots on - leaving a couple of sour faces at the checkin desk Very Happy .
