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

Should be able to take one bag of 23 kg as your main bag if it's like most transatlantic carriers - almost certainly will have to pay if you want to take skis as a second bag unless you've frequent flyer status.

So you're golden if you take a single wheelie bag each surely?

f1l, That will be 100 euro going out, $100 coming back, probably a discount if paid on line too. They dont usually measure the ski bags so unless its really really long you wont have to pay over sized charges. Seems you will be looking around £140 at the most.

f1l, Flown from this side and back with Delta and it was $35 each way but couldn't pre-book . . . though a couple of times they just threw them on the belt and waved me on  I was flying from a feeder so it probably was their ignorance at the local departure. Booking in at H'row they wanted £55 till I showed them my $receipt from my old flights. I keep receipts, sad I know . . . but airlines are notorious for plucking figures out of the air when you are in a hurry . . .
