 Poster: A snowHead
|
Due to a change of plan I have to be in Spain straight after our holiday. I have managed to get my return flight changed for a not too Eye watering price, and have booked a return GVA to BCN. Is there a left luggage office or a ski rental place near the airport at Geneva that will store a pair of skis for 7 days at a reasonable cost?
I was even thinking about dropping them off for a service and saying I would pick them up a week later if there is a ski shop near the airport, probably much the same cost.
Any ideas folks

newbie45, There is a left luggage office at the train station below the airport. It's 10ChFr a day. I cant confirm whether they will keep them that long though.

What's that got to do with anything? The OP has asked for information about leaving his skis at the airport from which he has booked to depart.

Pedantica, Because if it was in France I know a company that will pick them up, service them and deliver back to his door at home!

Holiday is in Leukerbad in Swiss
I already have the return baggage paid for the skis least I hope I have it should have been transfered with the booking, I will ring Flybe to make sure.
The skis are pretty old atiomics I bought s/h for £30 4 years ago a bargin at the time but are they worth 60-70CHF to store? I dont know.
Fedex could be an idea
How good is the swiss post office will they take a 1.7m parcel?

If the fed-ex them to to your next hotel idea doesn't work out.........
Try this one - not too far from airport and seems to do ski service - i like your idea of leaving and collecting in a week! - you'll prob need a cab ride to get there tho
http://www.sportxx.ch/g3.cms/s_page/708750/s_level/820000
Or this one - big ski shop, just not clear whether they do servicing - closer to the airport though

Alternatively, seems like as good an excuse as any to visit the sales for some new planks

we regularly post skis within Switzerland, so domestically 2m is no problem, i can't be sure this extends to an international service.

Thanks Folks
I rang flybe to confirm that my booking for the skis had been transfered when I changed the flight on line and it had not so beware to anyone who does the same. They have now booked it on the return from GVA to UK it was no charge to change this componant of the flight so I may as well have that option.
I will start a new thread asking about the costs to post them back to UK from Leukerbad as its off topic to this one
