Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey
Looking at flights to Japan at the moment and lots of options with a mix of Air Japan, KLM, Air France etc. Looks like two connections.
A mate and I are looking to take our skis with us but have tried to contact a few of the airlines individually and just can't get a def answer.
So. Should we both take a small suitcase and single ski bag each or a big suitcase and triple ski bag with 2 pairs and clothes in there as well? Anyone know if we can get away with it?
Slightly doing my head in so any experiences much appreciated. We are not booking directly with airlines but through a flight comparison ting and just don't want to get stung.
Thanks in advance. J
BTW Rob@rar and Mike. Looks like we are going to cross over with you for a couple of days so I'll give you a shout.

They should be included in your weight allowance , we are going to tokyo with etihad in feb and they say we can put the allowance together with the three of us , so one big roller with all skis in and a medium suitcase each .
But make sure as the exceess could be £££££££

BA is one bag, but that can be a ski bag stuffed with clothes and boots!
