GrahamN, fantastic. Can someone make that answer a stickie? Actually, your answer has turned this whole thread into a useful stickie. God willing, we could be spared further 'boots in hand luggage' threads.  |
There is a sticky "Airport facilities/policies" - could this be copied there please.

About 2 weeks ago I went EZY from Manchester T3 to Geneva.
On the way out (from Manch) they were being REALLY strict about the rules. Of course people were arguing with the ground staff but everyone who was even slightly over had to pay.
If it didn't go "easily" into the metal cage thingy then that was it. Pay up or leave it.
As I had only a small rucksack with a laptop in it was more interest than anything else.

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

I'va had a couple of problems at Birmingham with BMI Baby. The first time it was the check-in staff who forced me to put my boot bag in hold luggage (and charged me for it). The second time I managed to get past the check-in only to be stopped at security. Security claimed that it was policy in all UK and European airports (Obviously a load of dangly bits)
Turin, Bergamo, Geneva no problems in recent years.

Does anyone out there find the phrase "a load of bo**@cks" offensive. I've just been censored for using it (it was replaced by "Dangley bits)

There's a restaurant in Tignes called (in full to avoid censorship) Le Petit Savoyard. I tried recommending it on here by its name as shown on the sign outside the premises - ie "Le P't!t Savoyard" but it was changed to the ridiculous "Le P'boobySavoyard" because the system is filtered to amend the shocking word t!t........Rather frustrating

I can add Birmingham, East Midlands, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Chambery, Madrid, Amsterdam, Friedrichshafen, Bergamo, Denver, Minneapolis, Memphis, Salt Lake City, Santiago, Temuco, Toronto, Calgary, Kelowna, Jackson, Gunnison and Montrose from recent years - where ski boots were happily accepted in hand luggage.
We've learned our lesson after having luggage delayed over 15 times on ski trips - ranging from skis to boots to everything!!  It's been so bad over the years that we regard it as a bonus when our luggage turns up on long haul trips which (from where we live) can end up as 3 flights.
Needless to say the ski boots and skiwear go with us in the hand luggage every time these days!
Mountainaddict will probably be along soon to add a few more (obscure skiing) destinations....
